Basic network question

PerlHack is correct. Because router1 only knows about the 192.168.1.0 network, it will not know where to forward packets destined for 192.168.0.0. Resulting in a dropped packet. His suggestion should remedy this.

I still don't think it will work if you add the route, because its in the same segment. Cisco won't allow you to have a computer on the same segment as the router, regardless of the route.

@ Perlhack

Am I wrong on this? Have you successfully done this before?

Hey Zippy,
Not sure if I understand what your asking but, I'll provide my comments in the mean time. Every network I've built has had PCs on the same segment as the router. I'm using the term segment as a Layer 3 segment or net block here. The router is typically the default gateway for the hosts. Just like aminosninatos is showing a PC connected to a router on the same segment. What aminosninatos is not showing is if the PC is connected to the router via crossover cable or if there is a L2 switch in the middle. In my opionion it does not matter which way its cabled.

Zippy, Please follow up with your comments because I'm dont think I understand you previous comments, and if aminosninatos has tested please post results.

hello,
thanks PERLHACK, i've tested what u have suggested and it works, if u configure router 1 with a static route to network 192.168.0.0/24 the ping successed.
but still if u replace router 1 with a normal pc the ping succeeded without configuring anything on router

My mistake Perlhack, let me explain this better as I was mistaken. I meant to say you cannot have two IP's with the same subnet on one segment. So, each interface on the router has to be on different subnets. I was a little sketchy on the diagram with the IP sets.

Being that E0 is on a 0.1 subnet and E1 is on a 1.1 subnet this will work. As you have stated, the router 1 does not know where to route hence why a 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 policy will work, being that it routes all traffic.

Zippy,
in odrder to clarify things for u :

192.168.0.1 (E0)-Router0-(E1)192.168.1.1

---

192.168.1.2(E0)-Router1-(E1)192.168.2.0
so every router interface is on a different segement and network.
