Cannot Properly Configure Static Routing

[abdullah.al.sipon]

Can anyone please figure this static routing for me? I need to connect all the devices in this topology with each other. But it seems like something is wrong with the 'Gotham' router. Kindly help me to identify the error. I am attaching the zipped pkt file here.

Hello,

what instructions are you following ? The link between the Gotham and the Metropolis router are not on the same subnet, there are also duplicate networks on the three middle routers.

[abdullah.al.sipon]

No instructions to be exact, I need to use both Static and Dynamic Routing that's it. Would you kindly configure them and send me a pkt file? It would be really helpful. The other connections were working 100% fine until I added the Gotham router to connect the 2 subnetworks.

Hello,

I have looked at the file, all IP addressing is wrong. Some routers have RIP (version 1), others do not. You have duplicate subnets on various routers, non continuous subnets, overlapping subnets, and wrong static routes. It will take several hours to fix that. What do you want to accomplish ? End to end connectivity using only static routes ? A mix of static routes and dynamic routes (which requires redistribution) ?

You need a basic idea of what you want your topology to look like.

[Georg Pauwen]

Actually, a good plan of action would be to configure /30 non-overlapping subnets for the links between the routers. Then use static routes pointing to the respective next hop.

Hello
Just like in your last post you need to sort out the ip addressing, in this case you have the wrong ip addresses on the wrong interfaces.

For example:
Both sides of two interconnecting two routers need to share the same network, in this case they don’t they are on different interfaces, Gotham rtr is one of these rtrs.

Lasty I wouldn’t use static routing, its too administrative, apply the following on ALL rtrs as/when you have the connectivity between the directly connected rts  working.

all rtrs

router eigrp 100
no auto
network 0.0.0.0
end

Hello,

attached the working file with end to end connectivity using only static routes. The file is saved in version 8.1.

Thanks a lot!

Hello

As I said static routing is an adminstrative burden, as no remit was stated for static routing, dyanmic routing would be more applicable - @Georg Pauwen you have two  directly connected rtrs pointing default routes at each other -  OUCH!

default routes
alantis > Amazonia > Gotham<>Metropolis
Star_City > Metropolis
Coast_City> Metropolis

[abdullah.al.sipon]

@paul driver actually I need to use both static and dynamic routing for the task (It's a requirement). Atlantis and Amazonia are connected in RIPv1/Dynamic routing, on the other hand- Metropolis, Star City and Coast City are connected using Static Routing.. Now using Gotham City,  I have to connect this 2 sub networks.

[Georg Pauwen]

@paul driver It's a closed lab, not a real network. Either way, post your revised file with all specific static routes rather than default routes, as well as the RIP configured routers, so we can compare.

[abdullah.al.sipon]

@Georg Pauwen actually it is a requirement that Amazonia and Atlantis routers must be connected in RIP/Dynamic routing. Would you state the changes I need to bring if I want to accomplish that?

[paul driver]

Hello

Interesting , I would have expected it to be the other way around if your remit was to use both static/dynamic?

Example:
Static routing
Alantis <> Amazonia

Dynamic routing
Amazonia,Gotham,Metropolis, Star city Coast_City

[abdullah.al.sipon]

No sir that's not possible either as the question states to:

1) Use Static Routing for Metropolis, Coast City, Star City

2) Use Dynamic/RIP Routing for Atlantis, Amazonia

3) Connect 1,2 through Gotham. 

I am attaching the question here for better understanding. The solution Mr George Pauwen provided was done by using Static Routing in the (2) part also, which defies my required task.

Hello,

attached the revised file with RIP added to both routers as required,
