Re: How setup basic IP routing on 3725 router.

NB243_243 · ‎08-06-2006

Below is the router and interface configuration of two 3725 routers. The problem is, I'm not able to ping PC connected to each router (PC1 connected to Router_01 and PC2 connected to Router_02, (Router_01 directly connected to Router_02). I'm able to ping each router's port but not the PC beyond each of the routers. As an added note each PC is connected to its respective router through a 2950 switch. I can ping from PC to PC when I remove the routers and just use the switch so I know the swithes are pass the packets.

What am I missing?...

Thanks in advance,

NB243

Hello,

make sure you router 1 is running RIP version 1 as well (as is your router 2). Also, what cable are you using between your 2950(s) and your router(s) ? Make sure you are using straight cables, not cross cables. And lst but not least, check the default gateways on your client computers, and make sure they match the IP addresses of your respective router interfaces...

Regards,

GP

NB243_243 · ‎08-06-2006

Hello GP.

I have done all that... As I have indicated in my post, I can ping the router ports from each PC and I have the gateway configured on each PC to match the respective connected router interfaces. Also The cables are correct. I can also ping the neighboring router (using the console connection and submiting commands directly from each router, but again, I'm not able to ping the PC connected to the other interface through that respective router). Also note the configuration info I supplied... It indicates that I have configured RIP version 1 on each router...

So what am I missing?...

From routerA:

Do an extended ping (ping ip )

make sure that the target ip is interface or gateway of PC in router B and source is the interface of the gateway from PC in router A. are the pings going through? If not, there the issue is routing. On both router inverstigate the result of show ip route:

from Router A:

show ip route

From router B:

show ip route

From both of this show ip route I am sure you will find which router is pointing to the wrong interface. If all is working per output, post all the output requested here. Let us take a look at it.

Please rate this post if it helps.

Richard Burts · ‎08-06-2006

From the description of the synptoms in the original post I thought that the most likely problem was that the default gateway in one or both PCs was not set correctly. But the original poster states that they are set correctly.

From the configs it looks like the routers should talk and should share routes. But I agree with Roberto that it sounds like the routers may not have correct routing information about the remote destinations. It would be very helpful to see the output of show ip route from both routers. I think it would also be helpful to see the output of show cdp neighbor detail from both routers.

Hello Rick, and others.

I've made some changes.

(Focusing on Router_02, if resolved then I can fix Router_01 too).

Here is current configuration and output:

FastEthernet0/0=148.33.0.1

FastEthernet0/1=148.35.0.2

FastEthernet2/0=148.36.0.1

PC#1=148.35.254.1 connected via switch into interface 0/1.

PC#2=148.36.200.200 connected directly into interface 2/0.

I can ping all interfaces on router from the router's CLI.

I can ping interface 0/1 from PC#1.

Cannot ping interfaces 0/0 & 2/0 from PC#1.

I can ping PC#2 directly from the router's CLI.

I cannot ping from PC#1 -> PC#2 or PC#2 -> PC#1.

Also I cannot ping interfaces 0/0 & 0/1 from PC#2.

I think your strategy of troubleshooting by simplifying the environment is good. The information that you have proveded in this post is helpful.

I think that it is especially helpful to see the output from ping that demonstrates that the router can communicate directly with both PCs. And I think the output from the ARP table showing successful layer 2 connectivity to both PCs is successful is also helpful.

I would suggest a follow up test to your ping test. When you ping to PC#1 at 148.35.254.1 it uses as source address the interface address of interface 0/1 and it is successful. Now I suggest that you do an extended ping. In the extended ping specify the destination as PC address 148.35.254.1 and specify the source address (using the extended commands in extended ping) as interface 2/0.

I suspect that the extended ping will probably fail. If the standard ping succeeds then it demonstrates that the router has a route to the PC. If the extended ping fails, and we know that the router has a route to the PC, then the failed extended ping probably means that the PC does not have a route to the address of interface 2/0. And that probably indicates a problem with the configuration of default gateway in the PC. Perhaps you could do an ipconfig on the PC and post the output.

Hello,

can you also post the output of 'route print' from your PC2 ?

Looking at the original config's

On router 1 there are only two interfaces but four networks configured under RIP.

On router 2 there are only three interfaces but four networks configured under RIP.

Also, the networks are the same on each router RIP process. I would think that the only overlap would be the network connecting the two routers, 148.35.0.0

I would clean up the RIP config then see how things work.

router 1

router 2

Hello Sean Conway and others that have sounded in on this problem...

I have been digging into this problem all along then I was out of town for a while. I never got the original computers to talk properly across the routers and I gave up on them due to time constraints... BUT! When I connected the computers that would ultimately be doing the work 'so-to-speak' they presented almost the same symptoms. I found out that they were cloned disk images and there are applications that run on these computers that have IP address embedded in them. Anyway what tipped me off was one-way intermittent ping success. I change the embedded IP address to match the Windows NIC address configuration and gateway and now they talk...

Also Sean the 3rd address in RIP on router #1 is the neighboring router's port address and the 4th address in RIP on router #2 is the neighboring router's port address. Notice they are preceded with the word 'neighbor' and not 'network'.

Thank you all for helping me solve this problem... Maybe, if I have the time I'll hook up the original two computers back up to the routers and figure out why they would not ping each other properly and give feedback on what I found...

Later,

NB_243

Hello Sean.

OOPS! I didn't look at my last post, I just looked at yours and I didn't realize that you had posted a correction to what I had posted.

I had the network address for all routes on each router's RIP configuration. You're right I did have more network addresses than the number of interfaces on each router... Excuse my ignorance... How do the extra network addresses affect the router's performance in forwarding/passing routes for the way I have things setup?

Thank you,

NB_243

Having extra network statements is ineffecient. They do no good. But they also do no harm. There is no impact from having extra network statements beyond the impact of making the configuration file slightly larger.

The basic principle of network statements for Interior Routing Protocols (RIP, OSPF, EIGRP) is that you should have network statements for the locally connected interface/network that you want to participate in the routing protocol. There is no benefit in having network statements for networks that are remote to the router.
