Route Problem

nwmidmo
Level 1
Level 1

I have a customer with 2 cisco 2600's that connect over a t1. The customer has addtrans that manage the t1 and our connected via serial v.35 ports on the 2600's. They are trying to route between to lans. The problem is that the routers see each other fine. Ping and traceroute is great between serials and ethernet ports on both the routers. Router A host's can ping across the connection to hosts on the Router B lan and get replies. Router B cannot ping back across the connection to host attached on the Router A lan side but can ping Router A's ethernet address. Below are the configs for router A and Router B.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Make sure the hosts you are trying to ping have a default route pointing to router A LAN interface ip address.

Hope this helps,

The host default route is set to Router A ethernet ip address. The host can even telnet into router B, but router B cannot even ping the host.

assuming you are using the same src and dst ip addr and unless you have some sort of ACL in the path that allows telnet but not pings, if you have connectivity in one direction you will have it also in the reverse direction.

Well I dont see anything in the running-config that would deny pings. I would agree with you that is the routes are there and can be traveled from Router B Serial to Router A ethernet then that same route should work from Router B serial to Host on Router A ethernet lan given the host has a default route for Router A ethernet. I also thought it could be an acl but I don't see anything in the config what you see is what is running on the routers.

By the way, Thank you for the feedback.
