Hello all,
I am interested in learning about Cisco routing (but no interest in CCNA etc) so have bought a (nearly silent) 1811 to tinker with, loaded with "IOS Software, C181X Software (C181X-ADVIPSERVICESK9-M), Version 12.4(15)T10, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc3)"
First step is to attach PCs on different subnets to fa0 and fa1, then get routing setup so that the PCs can ping each other.
PCs are set as follows:
PC #1 static IP, 10.0.20.50, NM 255.255.255.0, DG 10.0.20.1
PC #2 static IP, 10.0.30.50, NM 255.255.255.0, DG 10.0.30.1
Having factory reset the 1811, fa0 and fa1 have then been enabled
interface FastEthernet0
ip address 10.0.20.1 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
interface FastEthernet1
ip address 10.0.30.1 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
PC #1 is attached to Fa0, and PC #2 is attached to Fa1
From a tutorial video, it appears that if I were using a 2800 router, this is all that would be required to allow the PCs to ping each other. This does not appear to be true for the 1811 using the setup above.
Router ARP table is as expected
show arp
Protocol Address Age (min) Hardware Addr Type Interface
Internet 10.0.20.1 - 5475.d060.8c74 ARPA FastEthernet0
Internet 10.0.20.50 0 089e.0175.39a7 ARPA FastEthernet0
Internet 10.0.30.1 - 5475.d060.8c75 ARPA FastEthernet1
Internet 10.0.30.50 1 089e.0175.363a ARPA FastEthernet1
Attached is running config.
Two questions pop up at this point.
1) Has anyone documented IOS command differences between the 28xx and the 18xx routers ?
2) Presumably I need to enter routing information to make my configuration above work. Help, or pointers how to do this will be appreciated.
Thanks, Mark
