Can't Ping Outside via Serial Interfaces, works with FastEthernet

awinter

Hello,

I have the following setup:

Router 2

---

Serial

---

Router 1

---

Internet

10.1.1.2/24 10.1.1.1/24 192.168.1.254/24 192.168.2.1/24

I can ping from Router 2 to 192.168.1.254 with success
I can ping from Router 1 to 10.1.1.2 with success

I can't ping from Router 2 to 192.168.1.1 via a SERIAL connection between Router 2 and Router 1 it works however with Ethernet

Please, can someone explain why?

Thanks in advance.

Supply the configuration for the R1 and R2. From the information you provide you misconfigured the one of the routers.

If using serial cables, did you set a clock rate on the DCE end of the cable?

Do you have a routing protocol running? Sounds like maybe the Ethernet is working due to proxy arp. Routing only know about directly connected networks without a routing protocol the pings will fail (note: proxy arp) to networks the router isn't directly connected to.

Remember the problem is I cannot PING 192.168.2.1 from R2 or connect to the 192.168.2.X network. I can ping 192.168.2.254 only.

Thanks in advance.

Your configuration is confusing you have
Router 2

---

Serial

---

Router 1

---

Internet

10.1.1.2/24

---

10.1.1.1/24

---

192.168.1.254/24

---

192.168.2.1/24


But yourrouter config is this


R1
interface FastEthernet0/0
ip address 192.168.2.254 255.255.255.0
ip nat outside
ip virtual-reassembly
duplex auto
speed auto


interfaceFastEthernet0/1
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
ip nat inside
ip virtual-reassembly
duplex auto
speed auto


You have two different subnets between R1 and the Internet.I don’t know why on R1 you have ip default-gateway 192.168.2.1 and ip route0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.2.1. You have sub-interface on f0/1 and using a IPaddress on F0/1.
I not sure what youare trying do but I would redo R1. Set a static IP address on the Ethernet interfaceand I would have the NAT changing the 10.1.1.0/24 to 192.168.2.X/24 network.Also if you could put description for the interface.

tunerX

Router 1 uses an inside source list that only includes the 192 networks. Router 2 will be using a 10 network as its source address.

Also you would need ip nat inside on the serial interface of router 1.

awinter

Hi, Thanks all for your input. TunerX put me on the right path. Problem was ip nat inside was not declared for the serial interface and the ACL NAT_ADDRESSES did not have the 10.1.1.0 network allowed. Problem solved!

Thanks again!
