Can't Ping From local network to Router(ISP)

[Max-kinpin]

i have been having an issue with a lab i have been doing in packet tracer. i have a few networks configured connecting to their receptive sub-interfaces on router one. all the networks can communicate among each other as their networks are being advertised by ospf. Now router one is connected to router two, which in this case is my isp. For my local host to get to the internet they must use a default route. the problem is that i can ping router one from any of my networks
the configuration is as follows i just can't ping router two from those network. From router one to two i can ping.

There are a couple of obvious issues.

1) router 1 is running OSPF on interfaces except for the interface connecting to router 2. So there is no routing advertisement sent to router 2.

2) router 2 is running EIGRP on its interface connecting to router 1. This does not match up with router 1 even if router 1 did run its routing protocol on its interface since router 1 is running OSPF while router 2 is running EIGRP.

Both routers need to run the same routing protocol on the interface that connects them and that protocol on router 1 must advertise all of the subnets found on router 1.

True. The requirement is to only advertise of the local networks. the only way they should be able to get to the (internet) r2 is the default. so what i don't get is why i can't ping 145.207.45.1 from....lets say 172.16.70.5 (host device on the network 172.16.70.0)

Hello,

R2 doesn't know about your local networks. Add a default route on R2 as well:

R2

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 145.207.45.2

[Yachay]

Remember, R2 belongs to the ISP, so I think to add a default route pointing out to R1 is not a good idea...

how so? 

[Max-kinpin]

good suggestion, i tried it but it didn't work. but being that i can ping 145.207.45.2 from my locals, wouldn't it be possible to just use the default route to do it. that is to ping 145.207.45.1.

Post the Packet Tracer project file. Rename the .pkt to a .jpg first, otherwise the system will not let you post it.

Hello, Georg Pauwen

you are saying right it would work perfectly. But i think on real network scenario ISP not doing this thing. To configure default route to own end to reach customers.

The best way to configure same routing protocols in both end routers(Customer end and ISP end). Then they create neighbor ship with each other then we used ping utility to check the connectivity. It will ping from local network to router of ISP perfectly.

R2 needs to have routes back your networks (which should be static routes.)

[Richard Burts]

Let me explain it this way and perhaps that will help you understand the issue. Remember that for ping to work the ping request must get to the target and the ping response must get from the target back to the source. In your case the host 172.16.70.5 sends its ping request to 145.207.45.1 and it is received. Now the router at 145.207.45.1 wants to send a response but it does not have network 172.16.70.0 in its routing table. How can it send the response? It can not and that causes the ping to fail.

Hello,

the idea was to post the .pkt (renamed as .jpg) so we can open the project and check what you are missing...

[Max-kinpin]

lol my bad i am multi-tasking

 i get that i do. but as i said before locals must use default to get to the internet. i used eigrp to advertise for the 145.207.45.0 network on the isp as i plan to expand the network to support multiple sites.
