Router Connectivity Problem

bhattnbikes

Hi everyone,

I was working with some lab with Bosom soRftware. I have a situation in which three routers of 2600 and 2500 series. Router A is connected to B and B is to C. I can ping Router B from C but i cannot ping A from C. Also i am able to ping A from B. I checked all the interfaces and the are up. Besides they are all configured with same routing protocol. I have not applied any access lists on any router. What can the problem be ????

I think this may be a bug in the software. Correct me if i am wrong. Also i was wondering if such issue comes up in actual CCNA exam ??

Thanks,
Bhushan

Can you ping C from A? It sounds like C doesn't know where the network attached to A is located. B knows where A is because they are directly connected. Double check your setup and RIP configuration.

Do a sh ip route from Router C to confirm that there is an entry in there for the Router A Network. I know sims can get real buggy sometimes as well and even if you have everything configured right sometimes it takes 10 tries to get something to work correctly

Thanks for your reply. I did all the sh commands and everything ok. So i think its just a bug in their software.

even though i have routers at home, i tried boson and stumbled across the same problem...i figured it was a problem in the software as RIP wasn't propagating at all!!..that's when i stopped using Boson....still a good simulator though!
