Hello all!  I have 2 routers setup with a serial connection.  Each router has a router on a stick setup with a switch and 3 vlans with clients.  I would like to do static routing between the 2 routers, but it does not work.  Any thoughts?  I can static route without the router on a stick and vlans when I set that up.  THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!  Picture of setup and packet tracer file attached.

Hi,

The .zip file has an error when uncompressed.
Could you send it uncompressed?

Regards

Bummer.  It won't accept packet tracer files here.  I'll put a screenshot on.  THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

Hi @Bagley5777,

So, could you show us some screenshots of the configurations of the two routers?

Hello,

I managed to open your Packet Tracer file. You are using the same IP address space for all three subnets on both routers, so this setup will not work. What is the requirement, what are you trying to accomplish ?

Oh thanks!  I was trying to setup what would look like a multi-location network with 2 routers, and then static route between them.  I was visualizing it as 2 different networks that I could static route to.  Do I need entirely different address spaces between them for it to work?  Couldn't I have the same address space and then route in two locations?

Hello Bagley5777,

Greetings, 

Actually this design isn't desired, but it's possible to WORK normally,

you just need to modify your static routes, and it will work perfectly!

I have created for you a simple topology as an example (it's attached)

for example, if you want PC0 (IP 11.1.1.3) to ping PC2 (IP 11.1.1.4),

Instead of typing:

1- On R1: 

#ip route 11.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.2

You should type:

#ip route 11.1.1.4 255.255.255.255 10.1.1.2

2- and On R2:

#ip route 11.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.1

You should type:

#ip route 11.1.1.3 255.255.255.255 10.1.1.2

and it's DONE!

which means, that you need to create static route to each host using its IP address and the mask 255.255.255.255.

Please try it and let me know the results! 

Best of luck,

Also, please don't forget to rate my reply if it's helpful for you,

and if it will be solved, mark my reply as a solution! 

it will be so nice from you! 

Thanks in Advance!

Bst Rgds,

Thanks so much for your help!

Hello,

have a look at your revised project file. I added static default routes on both routers, changed the addressing on Router1, and for convenience, added DHCP pools for each Vlan...

Thanks so much for your help and kindness!  I got it now!
