Hello

I'm a student for WCI ontario and I need to complete my semister 2 cisco particle. The particle consits of connecting 4 computers, 3 router and I switch. I can make all the connections but the problem comes when I have to configure the network protcol. I want to use the router rip protcol but I'm not fully sure how to use it.

The network goal is to have the 2 computers on the one router named Elmira to ping the computers on the router name Waterloo.

I have the network set up like so;

Kitchener


Waterloo
Elmira

Switch
Switch (1 switchonly)
| |
| |
Computer 1
Computer 3
Computer 2
Computer 4

I have to subnet the IP I was given to support 25 people so I have the IP ranges

33-62
65-94
97-126
129-158
161-190
193-222

the IP I was given was 195.168.10.*

I use the subnet 255.255.255.224
and setup my network as so

Kitchener
Waterloo
S0 195.168.10.33
S0 195.168.10.34

Waterloo
Elmira
S1 195.168.10.65
S1 195.168.10.66

Elmira
E0 195.168.10.97

Waterloo
E0 195.168.10.129

Switch
195.168.10.161

Computer1
195.168.10.130

Computer2
195.168.10.131

Computer3
195.168.10.98

Computer4
195.168.10.99

Okay so that's my setup Now what I need to do is configure Elmira and Waterloo so the computers on Waterloo can ping and reach the Computer on Elmira and VICE VISERA.

I can seem to figure out how to make this all work? can some one help

    Hi,

    Your diagram is not so clear but i have a fair idea of your setup.
    You have 3 routers connected in series via the serial interfaces Kitchener,Waterloo and Elmira.Your network addresses fr the routers are ok but dont forget its possibe to use subnet zero i.e. hosts 1-30
    From the diagram i cannot tell where you have connected the switch but its not important.I will assume you have 2 hubs,one conected to Waterloo on E0 and one connected to Elmira on E0.Your PC addresses are ok,i dont know why you put an ip address on the switch especially when its not on the correct subnet for any of your routers.

    So in all 3 routers you need to enable rip.
    Kitchener(config)#router rip
    Kitchener(config-router)#network 195.168.10.0

    Waterloo(config)#router rip
    Waterloo(config-router)#network 195.168.10.0

    Elmira(config)#router rip
    Elmira(config-router)#network 195.168.10.0

    Remember to set your default gateways on your pc's and also make sure all interfaces are no shutdown and clocking on your serial ports is configured.Best to do show interfaces on all routers to ensure all are up.
    Networking, sometimes i love it, mostly i hate it.Its all about the $$$$

    The Routers are connected like so
    serial 0 of kitchener is connected to serial 0 of waterloo there on subnet range 2 so 33 - 62

    serial 1 of waterloo is connected to serial 1 of waterloo there on subnet range 3 so 65 - 94

    I only have one switch which all four computers connect to. I have the port groups on the switch arranged so 1 - 8 are the first group and 9 - 16 are on the second group.

    I gave the switch the 6th range so 195.168.10.161

    The first 2 computers have the same IP range that follows the waterloo ethernet range so
    E0 on waterloo 195.168.10.129
    Computer1 195.168.10.130
    Computer2 195.168.10.131

    The last 2 computers have the same IP range that follows the Elmira Ip range so
    E0 on Elmira 195.168.10.97
    Computer3 195.168.10.98
    Computer4 195.168.10.99

    In this case what would I make the gate way and are you sure that the network rip command would use 195.168.10.0

    Ok i see what your doing,you have 2 vlans created on the switch.
    Computers 1 and 2 will have the gateway 195.168.10.129 i.e E0 on Waterloo.
    Computers 3 and 4 will have the gateway 195.168.10.97 i.e. E0 on Elmira
    Yes i am sure about the network rip comand.Remember the switch is not a router, it will not have its own IP range.This Ip address on the switch is for management only,effectively it is like a host.So the switch should have an IP address in the same subnet as the conected router interface.In your case you can configure an IP address for both Vlans i.e. ports 1-8 in vlan 2 with address 195.168.10.132 and ports 9-16 in Vlan 3 with the address 195.168.10.100.

    I believe a better design for your network would be to have two computers connected to Waterloo via ethernet, through your switch (no ip address needed for your switch). One computer connected via ethernet to Kitchener, and another computer connected via ethernet to Elmira. This will allow each router to carry traffic. You should then connect Waterloo to Kitchener via serial, and Kitchener to Elmira by serial as well.

    Make sure that each computer uses their router's ethernet ip address as it's gateway. You can then use RIP to configure all three routers. For example:

    Waterloo
    router rip
    netw 195.168.10.0

    Kitchener
    router rip
    netw 195.168.10.0

    Elmira
    router rip
    netw 195.168.10.0

    Please keep in mind that this is a more simplistic design. Your design required the configuration of VLANs on your switch. It also didn't allow any traffic to travel between the other routers...they were just sitting there.

    My switch only supports 1 ip. and I need to have 2 computer on Elmira and 2 on Waterloo, Kitchener can not have any computers on it, don't ask me why it's my instructors rule.

    So you're basically just trying to configure intervlan routing, right?

    I mean, if you're going to put them in different vlan groups, and want them to ping anything outside their own subnet, you're going to have to configure subinterfaces on whichever router is connected to the switch and use those ip's as your gateway.

    I'm a little surprised this is Semester2, usually vlans dont show up until semester 3
