Simple routing setup on a Cisco 3640?

[jumper4000]

Hi, I have a Cisco 3640 router (that's been killing me) and I want to setup very basic routing between two FastEthernet interfaces and two serial interfaces. This is my setup:

I have one network (63.165.170.0/24) connected to FastEthernet0/0

I have another network (10.10.10.0/24) connected to FastEthernet0/1

and I have two separate T1 lines connected to the two serial interfaces (s0/0 and s0/1).

What I need is the commands to either create a static route or a dynamic route between the two networks and the internet.

I want the two networks to be able to directly access and ping each other. Right now no matter what I try, I can't get the two networks to ping each other.

thanks.

What routing protocol are you using ?


You need to advertise the routes user RIP IGRP OSPF or some kind of routing protocol.

this is for now the only router in our environment, so we'll use whichever one you think is the best one and easiest to setup. For now I just want the computrs from the two networks to be able to ping each other. Thanks

if it is not a big network then rip would be ok.

Router>en
Router#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#router rip
Router(config-router)#network 63.165.170.0
Router(config-router)#network 10.10.10.0
Router(config-router)#exit
Router#copy run start
Router#

Then try to ping

Both fastethernet networks are directly connected to the router and should be able to ping each other without any dynamic routing protocols or even static routes as they should appear as "connected" routes in the routing table.

Make sure both FE interfaces are "up up" and the PCs in both networks have the proper default gateway (which should be the IP addresses on the FE interfaces)

And btw which T1 would be the primary connection to the Internet?

 

[jumper4000]

they are both primary. We'll be using Cisco Express Forwarding to combine the two into one 3 meg line.

hmm I never heard of using CEF for this purpose. Instead I heard of using MPPP to combine multiple serial WAN links.

 

[JOAMON]

Yep...multilink PPP is only way to do that as lons as your ISP supports that. CEF for load balancing.

 

[ROUTERKID1]

They are correct I did not read the post correctly. WE are dealing with direct connects you may need to issue the no shutdown command on the interfaces. The status should be up and up if you issue the show run config command. PPP Multilink is also something to look in to as well.

thanks for all your advice. I guess there was problem with my IOS. Now I can ping bewteen the two networks. I will let you know how combining the 2 T1 lines using cef will go tomorrow.
