Re: [Config] 1700 to 1700 routing - HELP
said by dpocoroba  :
First off seems rather strange that he would have you connect to the PC's with the serial cable and not ethernet  . Did he give you requirements you have to follow? Like ex: have to use the T1 and/or ethernet segment? Easiest way would be to use just the ethernet segment. and set up rip or ospf to be your routing protocol.
This might be a good starting point for you
Thanks for the quick reply, dpocoroba . I don't know why the PCs are connected with serial and not ethernet either. I guess it's because we work a lot with adtrans (which connect via serial) and he did it out of habit. 
Are both the t1 and ethernet connections between the two routers necessary? He didn't say specifically that either one should be used. I just didn't know if both were required.
But thanks, I will try that out...it's a lot more than my two days of constant bursting of blood vessels in my head produced. Thanks.  |

No both are not required. Its just easier to set up the ethernet segments. Since all you have to worry about is them being on the same subnet and not shut down The other thing you may have to worry about depending on physicly your Pc's will be connected to the serials. Is the encapsulation of those interfaces by default its HDLC, This may require some tweaking to maybe PPP.

| Ooooookkkkaaaayyyy!
I haven't gotten over to the routers yet, but something just hit me on the head with a loud bang.
I just realized (and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) that I cannot have 2 routers on the same class C. My problem before was I was trying to set the IP addresses of both routers to 10.100.1.x/24 and 10.100.1.n/24...not realizing that doing that is going to make the routers gripe. Instead, I have to set one router to 10.100.1.x and the other to 10.100.2.x
Am I on the right track here? |
