self teaching WAN ; driving me back out into the garden to plant peas; frustrated .

have a 2500 (see below ) and a 1600 connected via a dte/dce cable - oddly I can ping the 1600 on it's 1.1.1.2 , and the 1600 at 1.1.1.2 can ping the

2500 at 1.1.1.1 (and can ping itself) but : Why can't I ping the 2500 from the 2500 ? How to set routing such that I can ping an e0 off the 1600 at 192.168.0.44 ? When I try to set static routing on the 2500 with ip route 192.168.0.44 255.0.0.0 1.1.1.2 I get "Inconsistent address and mask" Also (for anyone into the 1600) I can't seem to find my way into the router command. Cisco docs say I can get to it from Global, but I can't get there from here ....

Current configuration: ! version 11.3 service timestamps debug uptime service timestamps log uptime no service password-encryption ! hostname Router ! enable password ah ! ! ! ! interface Ethernet0 description test ip address 192.168.4.1 255.255.255.0 ! interface Serial0 ip address 1.1.1.1 255.0.0.0 no ip mroute-cache no fair-queue clockrate 64000 ! interface Serial1 no ip address shutdown ! router rip network 1.0.0.0 ! ip classless ! logging history informational ! line con 0 exec-timeout 0 0 vacant-message ^Ctest^C line aux 0 line vty 0 4 password ah login !

Enable IP routing, then add the network statement for the 192.168.4.0 network to the 2500 and the network statement for the 192.168.0.0 network to the 1600.

Also RIP v1 is a classful routing protocol so use the mask of

255.255.255.0 not 255.0.0.0

If the 1600 has an ethernet of 192.168.0.0 then try ip route 192.168.0.0

255.255.255.0 1.1.1.2

because the 2500 is only advertising the 1.0.0.0 network the 1600 doesn't know how to get back to the 192.168.4.0 network. if the 2500 is using e0 as its source address when you ping the 1600 then the 1600 will not have a route back to the 2500.

if you insist on using static routes then you'll need one on both routers. if you ant to do it dynamically then make sure both routers are advertising ALL their networks.

You could use extended ping to specify the source address of the ping packet to check it out.

Greg (and Brad) -

Thanks very much ! the ip route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 1.1.1.2 worked very nicely .

192.168.0.44 ?
