Topology Question

alias120 · 06-24-2009, 12:06 PM

I have a quick question. I am purchasing an 800 Series Cisco Router. I currently have a WRT54G wireless router for my home network. I am studying for the CCNA exam and i have been needing a Router with IOS and CLI capable. Alright, on to the question. I am looking at setting up a physical hybrid/dual star topology where the 800 Series Router will run Ethernet to a Hub, and then the Hub will route to a PC and and WRT54G Router. The WRT54G Router will then route to another PC. I am wondering, if tunneling into the 800 Series Router i will be able to globally configure the WRT54G Router, or would i have to actually tunnel into the WRT54G to configure it? The reason i ask is because i know that the WRT54G is not CLI capable. Any feedback here would be great.

I'm pretty sure that you would have to configure them separately.
