Tasks

Connectivity between four routers has been established. IP connectivity must be configured in the order presented to complete the implementation. No dynamic routing protocols are included.

1. Configure static routing using host routes to establish connectivity from router R3 to the router R1 Loopback address using the source IP of 209.165.200.230.

2. Configure an IPv4 default route on router R2 destined for router R4.

3. Configure an IPv6 default router on router R2 destined for router R4.

solution provided is not complete; R1 needs a route back to R3, otherwise connectivity is not established!

Very good point. So folks check the successful ping or Routing table before you proceed. In worst scenario we have to create 4x static routes 2 to get there a 2 back. :-)

only need one back, it's for the interface, not the loopback, one is enougha

actually, if cisco asks you to check ping, then you add back route if needed. if they did not ask, don be smart as*, they will fail you.

Read the question well guys, it is sometime tricky. it says establish connectivity from router R3 to the router R1 not between R3 and R1 ;)

Do you mean only from router R3 to the router R1 and nothing from R1 to R3?

Yes, Because labs are pre-configured. You need to follow only the task

this will be a fail in the exam. because you didnt follow the instructions. the extra configs you did have already been pre-configured

Task 1 R3(config)#ip route 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255 209.165.200.229 R1(config)#ip route 209.165.200.230 255.255.255.255 209.165.200.226 Note that it says to establish connectivity, and specifies the source address. This means we need to establish a route back to R3 from R1. The source IP of 209.165.200.230 just means packets from R3 will be sent from R3's E0/1 interface. Task 2 R2(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 209.165.202.130 Task 3 R2(config)#ipv6 route ::/0 2001:db8:abcd::2

Good answer. Just remember, you *must* do a wr (copy run start) at each device before exiting.

I agree with Mariachi and rogi2023 opinion. For R3 e0/1 to ping to R1 loopback interface, then return back to R3, we need to config as follows: On R3, ip route 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255 209.165.200.229 On R2, ip route 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255 209.165.200.225 On R1, ip route 209.165.200.230 255.255.255.255 209.165.200.226

on R1, why not use the loopback address on your route like u did with R2 and R3? use the loopback of R3 which is 192.168.3.1

VarDav

I think that's a bad idea. You'll need another route on R2 so that it knows where the loopback of R3 is located. Why make it more difficult than it needs to be.

I agree the only thing I will change is the last line. 209.165.200.230 should be 209.165.200.228. This way you are referencing the network rather than the port ID on RT3 I was able to ping RT3 to RT1 using the below: On R3, ip route 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255 209.165.200.229 On R2, ip route 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255 209.165.200.225 On R1, ip route 209.165.200.228 255.255.255.255 209.165.200.226

It has been clearly mentioned, you must use the source ip of 209.165.200.230. Do you guys have any idea about it?

The only sensible thing to do with that specific instruction is to use e0/1 in the config instead of next hop

T1: ip route 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255 e0/1 (I think by using the exit interface and not the next hop specifies the source IP 209.165.200.230 T2: ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 209.165.202.130 T3: ipv6 route ::/0 2001:db8:abcd::2

exactly my thought. instruction says use source IP address .230. using ip route 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255 e0/1 will answer that. not by using .229

Cisco is like an awful girlfriend. She doesn't clearly tell you what she wants. She expects you to guess. She you guess wrong, she fail you. It could be easily clarified whether it requires a route back to R3, but it doesn't do. In real work, you always have a chance to discuss with the client if they are the decision maker, or decide by yourself if you design the network. Cisco is not testing your networking skills; Cisco tests your language game skills and luck.

the question says to use source IP address 209.165.200.230

AbdullahMohammad251
Nov 28, 2023

The question should be using the destination not the source IP of 209.165.200.230 In the 1st requirement, it says using host route(s) this implies that we have multiple routes to configure and I agree that we need to add a return-back route to establish connectivity. The above answer is correct but needs the following config on R1 On R1, ip route 209.165.200.230 255.255.255.255 209.165.200.226

AbdullahMohammad251
Nov 28, 2023

If we can't configure R1 then the above configuration of R1 is pre-configured by Cisco examiners.

AbdullahMohammad251
Nov 28, 2023

PS: in order for the ping test to successfully happen between R3 and R1's loopback interface we also need to add a table entry for R1's loopback interface in R2's routing table. Otherwise, ping messages will take the default route to R4 without passing through R1 On R2, ip route 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255 209.165.200.225

I'm confuse with the 1st task. How are we suppose to route using .230 when it's not the next hop?

Donny2202
Apr 30, 2024

im not quite understanding this, It says config a ipv4 route on R2 to R4 so why is the route going to R1 from R2 ?

nonickno
May 23, 2024

Be careful. T1 says: "Configure static routing", so everything you need to do to make it work using requested data. It doesn't say "Configure static route", so do it with just one route. T2 says: "Configure an IPv4 default route" "on router R2" - one route on R2 T3 says: "Configure an IPv6 default route" "on router R2" - one route on R2 CertBuster is right.
