UNBLE TO TELNET TO 2ND CISCO ROUTER

[hdeassis]

I have 2 cisco router configured in the same location. I can telnet into the one that is in the local area but not into the one that is in the remote location. They both are connected to a hub and using a rollover cable for the CSU/DSU.

I can ping between routers. From my terminal I cant ping to the remote router, but I can ping to the local.

I'm using RIP and HDLC for encapsulation.


Thanks for any suggestion.

Have you tried telneting to the remote router while telneted into the local router? If you have connectivity between them and there are no other problems occurring, that should be a nice easy solution.

have you checked with "sho cdp neighbors (det)"? if you find your remote router there you know that you have to troubleshoot on the ip level. are there any accesslists preventing you from ping or telneting to this router? does a a traceroute show it? possibly the remote router has a wrong static route configured and is disregarding rip (administratvi distance)

actually...there could be a lot of reasons why the router wont respond. when i come accross a problem like that i work my way from the bottom to the top (cables, leds, cdp neighbors, extentet trace, ping, etc)

I was able to telnet within routers. How can I do it from my wkstn? I alson can only ping from within routers and not from my wkstn. From my wkstn I can only ping 1 router, that is in the same subnet and not the other one in the different sub.

I do not have an access list setup.

Any more ideas thaks.

Your workstation needs to know how to get to your default router, so it requires a route to this router, after that the router should take care of how to get to the second router.

how do I set set a route in my wrkstn? Via the default gateway?

Pardon my ignorance but I'm new to cisco.

how do I set set a route in my wrkstn? Via the default gateway?If so can a wkstn have 2 deafult gateways? 1 for the internet the other for the wan? both offices will have DSL lines going to the internet. The routers are point-point T1 (no internet).

Pardon my ignorance but I'm new to cisco.

the workstations should only have ONE default gateway, which should be the router. and the router needs to know where to route which traffic. the remote router also needs to know the way back to the net where your workstation is.
