Personal Cisco Lab

Now that emulated Internet can only be done on one Cisco 1700 router, correct? Being that I only have 1 WIC-1B-U card installed on one of the routers. From what I understand I will need to use a WIC-1T Serial card to mimic the WAN on the other router. So how does that all work together? The lab is to send packets from one router to another over the LAN and the WAN.

Thanks for the help!

Not necessarily, your WAN can be brought in through any kind of media (i.e. dte, rj45). In your case it is delivered through an Ethernet cable from your linksys router. So, configure the Ethernet port on your Cisco border router to be on the same subnet as your linksys router and on that border router set up a default static route to send data to the linksys router.

[code:1]
router#config t

router(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 fa 0/0[/code:1]

This route says that any traffic that is not in the RIP table or the IGRP table should be forwarded out on fa 0/0. You can replace the fa 0/0 with a serial port or with the ip address of your linksys router. Just ensure that the Ethernet port on your Cisco border router and your linksys are on the same subnet.

Alright, I'm going to give this a shot!

Thanks

How exactly does the DTE/DCE cable work? How does it mimic a WAN on two Cisco routers?
