I'm trying to configure a 2800 series router. I've done this a hundred times and just can't see what's wrong.
Here's the scenario:
I'm consoled in and put a basic config on the router (see attached). After putting this basic config on, I
plugged it into a small unmanaged switch, changed my laptop's IP and plugged it in the switch also. I can't
ping the router from the laptop and vice versa. This is the second switch I've tried this with, so it must be
something I'm overlooking. The first switch, I installed at location, connected a cisco cable to it and a
local server, so i could remote in and finish configuration. In that scenario, I had plugged the switch into a
managed switch and had the same result as I'm getting now--can't ping IP addresses (can't ping the switch's
IP, not can it ping local IPs). I know this isn't a cable problem, nor a switch port issue. I've checked
those. I can ping the router IP from the router. I've also attached show version.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
