Author Router on Same Network
Howard Huntley

2004-04-10, 8:25 pm

I have two routers-switch combinations in my LAB that I want to use
the two serial ports to connect the two routers together on the same
network. I have tried every kind of routing table and other
configuration which has failed. I have not tried subneting the
segments. Any one have any suggestions?

Subnet the segments.

A router creates a broadcast domain -- each broadcast domain requires it's
own subnet.
You created three broadcast domains (one between the routers, one on the far
end), if your network looks like what I think it does.
Also: there's a good chance your serial link between routers isn't
configured for DCE/DTE:

Your DCE sets the clock rate. The DCE side of a serial link is the female
end of a cable.
Your DTE is the male side of your serial link. You "plug in" to your
provider.



Here:
RouterA) ethernet 0 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
RouterA) serial 0 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
RouterB) serial 0 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0
RouterB) ethernet 0 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0

Ethernet Switch <--> RouterA<-->RouterB<-->Ethernet switch

RouterA(config)# interface ethernet 0

The easiest way is to get a six dollar DCE/DTE crossover cable off of ebay and connect the routers back-to-back. Then just implement your IP addressing scheme and provide clocking on the DCE end of the cable.

Thank you very much for your help!
The configuration I have on the switch/routers is shown below. I can
key in the IP address of the serial attached routers and go between
the two routers(maybe Telnet). I can ping each end of the DTE/DCE
connection but I can not ping eather of the switch interfaces or
devices attached to the switches or the network. These (WS-X3011)2503
routers are connected to the back plane of a Catalyst 3200 switch with
6 network cards installed in each of the 3 switches.

Cat3200 Ethernet address = 192.168.0.40
Cis2503 e0= 192.168.0.100
s0= 0.0.0.0
s1= 192.168.2.100


Cat3200a Ethernet address = 192.168.0.45
Cis2503a e0= 192.168.0.100
s0= 192.168.2.101
s1= 0.0.0.0

Cat3200 Ethernet address = 192.168.0.46
No router installed
