Beginner Help

[Mstefani77]

OK so I'm about 1/2 way through my Cisco: A Beginners Guide book and I decided to conduct a little experement. My main network is two buildings with a leased T1 line and Cisco 2500 routers on each end. Each router has a serial interface for the T1 and a Ethernet interface for the local LAN Segment. Users can access (ping) servers at the other location seamlessly.

Plant 1 LAN consists of 10.23.4 - 10.23.6 addresses on the 255.255.252.0 subnet

Plant 2 Lan consists of 10.22.4 - 10.22.6 addresses on the 255.255.252.0 subnet


I decided to setup an additional subnet at Plant 1 to try and learn how to correctly configure a subnet. I had a spare Cisco 3600 router laying around with two Ethernet ports. Below is my setup:


My test PC: 10.23.9.100
Subnet: 255.255.252.0

My Test Router 10.23.8.100
other ethernet 10.23.4.100

Real router for this location: 10.23.4.1

I got my setup to work so that I can ping addresses on my new subnet and the main subnet, they can also ping me. I can ping the main router also. But I can't ping or see anything beyond the router at the Plant I'm at. Below is the config file for my test router. I'm sure there's things I'm missing but for now I'm just trying to get the basics setup. Any help would be appreciated.

1. Why are you running RIP *and* IGRP?

2. Why are you redistributing connected routes in IGRP?

3. For testing purposes, you might want to take out that static route. It's not really hurting anything, but it might disguise problems with your routing protocol configuration.

4. What routing protocol are your other routers using?

I would definitely take out the static route.

Try doing a show ip route to see what routes are being learnt and from what.

Also, running RIP and IGRP: IGRP has a lower administrative distance than RIP, so if you're learning routes from both processes the IGRP route will be preferred. IGRP will (I think) do auto-summary by default, so you might need to put in no auto-summary under the IGRP process too.
