Solved: Re: Home Lab Question

johnc342345 · ‎07-07-2019

I'm currently studying for my CCNA and have a lab that I like to build scenarios on and tinker with. It is connected to my Home Network (Comcast). Everything works great until i try to remote/ping computers connected to the 3750v2 switch from computers on the home network (Comcast). Clients on 3750V2 can ping comcast computers without problems but not the opposite direction (comcast to cisco lab). Is this because Comcast Modems do not have a route pointing back to my Cisco router? For instance i have the Arch Linux box setup as a DHCP server for the lab but it's connected to the comcast network, I can see requests for IP's coming from the Cisco Network and getting to the DHCP server but they don't seem to be getting back to the clients plugged into the Cisco switch and I can't ping the vlan interface either from comcast computer. Any Ideas? Is this because there is no access list set to allow return dhcp offers? My gut is saying it's because there's no route in Comcast modem directing packets back to the Cisco router, but then again if that's true how can I achieve internet access but then again the router has an IP Address that is in the same subnet as the Comcast Router. I'm lost and have googled for hours on this subject with no luck.

Comcast router not aware of where to send this packet coming from "10.0.1.1 255.255.255.0"

So you need route entry from Comcast router point to cisco Router.

if you looking 10.0.1.1 255.255.255.0 to get internet, then you NATing for these subnet.

Hello,

we need to know how your devices are connected. Post a brief schematic drawing of your topology...

johnc342345 · ‎07-07-2019

Attached is a Topology I just made with Libre Office Draw

johnc342345 · ‎07-07-2019

I really believe that the comcast modem just doesn't know how to get to the 10.0.1.2 subnet without a static route, I may be wrong but that's why I'm asking the pros! lol

balaji.bandi · ‎07-07-2019

Comcast router not aware of where to send this packet coming from "10.0.1.1 255.255.255.0"

So you need route entry from Comcast router point to cisco Router.

That was my gut instinct. Sadly you can't set static routes on the Arris TG1682G so there goes that idea. Thank you everyone for taking the time to provide insight.
