Router A's fa 0 interface and router B's  FastEthernet0/1 connected together via a switch.

router B's

interface FastEthernet0/0 and MLS switch connected as default vlan.

router B learn all the routes via BGP

my clients default gateway is 172.18.100.11.

I can access internet with internet router. and also I can ping to fa0/1 of router B via client PC. But only thing is I cannot access/ping  internet.

My question is why I cannot access internet with these configurations??

Quick reply highly appreciated.

Thank you

Hi,

Can you ping f0/0 of Router A  from Router B  ? what gives a traceroute to 8.8.8.8 from the pc client ?

Regards.

I cannot access the internet router (Roouter A). But I can ping router B to roouter A fa0/0.  I can ping clients from the router B too. 

Even I cannot trace route from MLS (switch ) too. it just showing stars...

Thank you

Hi,

you might have forgotten to configure NAT for your clients using private IP addresses?

Hello Chamara,

You should have NAT setup for your Clients' internal subnet so it gets a public IP as it leaves your infrastructure.

When you try to ping Internet, the packet should have a routable (public) IP address.

In your case, as long as you ping your own infrastructure ( which you already have routes back for the private IP range you configured for your client ( 172.16.0.0 255.255.0.0 )) it will know how to get back.

But once it leaves your infrastructure and enters the Internet ( your ISP ) it will get dropped because Internet would not accept private IP addresses (RFC1918) as source addresses.

You can resolve this buy configuring NAT for your client's IP range on Router B

Let me know if you have more questions on this.
