IP Route !!

Hey guys,

--->>> The scenario is that i have 2 hosts ( HostA & HostB ), & both of them are connected 2 each other using 2 routers ( RouterA & RouterB ) & a serial link in between them.

---->>> On HostA i assign the IP address of 192.168.1.1/24 & a gateway of 192.168.1.2

--->>> On HostB i assign the IP address of 192.168.2.1/24 & a gateway of 192.168.2.2

--->>> On the ethernet interface of RouterA i have assigned the IP 192.168.1.2

--->>> On the ethernet interface of RouterB i have assigned the IP 192.168.2.2

--->>> On the Serial interface of RouterA i have asigned the IP address 10.0.0.1

--->>> On the Serial interface of RouterA i have asigned the IP address 10.0.0.2

--->>> I make a static route on RouterA using the command
ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.2

--->>> And i also create a static route on RouterB using the command
ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.1

Now, if i try to do a ping 192.168.2.1 from HostA, would that work ?

That's exactly what i was thinking from the beginning, that this has to do with the non-contiguos networks that i have.

And, i have tried it on both the BOSON & Network Visualizer its not working on both of them. I was just surprised as to how is it possible that non of the geek's around here noticed that problem with these so called world class simulator's

I also checked out on a lot of books which go through testing IP Route command on so many simulators, all of them surprisingly only choose subnetted networks with the same subnet masks on the serial & the ethernet ports so that no one ever knows that there might be a problem. The sample labs in Network Visualizer & the BOSON also play with the same trick

But today i am gonna try EIGRP on the simulator & put the final nail on the coffin to make sure the problem is what we think it is.

I use discontigous nets all the time with static/rip/eigrp/and ospf and have no probems.

I can build your config on my lab at home. Just to keep everything as close as possible, what routers are you using, I assume you are use the default encap HDLC for your serial links since you didnt specify PPP. Ill try to do it tonight when I am back at the hotetl. Its going to be a bug in the software.
