How can i ping 2 computers through 2 switches and 2 routers I'm completly stumped I supposedly have assigned static routes to my routers and have configured the interfaces if anyone is good in networking please help thanks

It depends on how you have desgined your network. if you have used the most basic setup like below:

Router 1 ------------------ Router 2
¦ --------------- -------------- ¦
¦ --------------- -------------- ¦
Switch 1 ------------------ Switch 2
¦ --------------- -------------- ¦
¦ --------------- -------------- ¦
Pc 1 ------------- --------- Pc 2

Using the above you should be able to figure it out. If you are using a different design please post your design.

Yea that's exactly how i have it but when i ping each pc it doesn't work so i believe I have no connectivity

What ip does pc1 and pc2 have?

 

[comp2130]

Pc 1 192.168.1.1
Pc2 192.168. 2.1

Great. Your ip addressing is correct.

You would need to add a route in the first router that tells it to find the x.x.x2.x network via the wan ip of the 2nd router.

Reason you can't ping now is due to gateway entry. if you ask for a ip not in your subnet the only place it can be sent it out the gateway with the hope of resolution.

You would review your routers manual for the route add feature and how to configure it.

Well i gave the router a route through the command ip route etc''. So shouldn't it know now where to go very confusing I do know that one of the networks is subnetted maybe my problem is there not sure.

You will need to create static routes between both routers in order to be able to reach the PC's on each network.

Router A (some or all may be required. Examples taken from Netgear router):
Destination IP: Entire Network B (192.168.2.0)
Subnet: Network B Subnet (255.255.255.0)
Gateway: WAN IP of Network B (Example: 192.168.1.5)
Interface: LAN
Metric: 2

Router B (some or all may be required. Examples taken from Netgear router):
Destination IP: Entire Network A (192.168.1.0)
Subnet: Network A Subnet (255.255.255.0)
Gateway: LAN IP of Network A (Example: 192.168.1.1)
Interface: Broadband (WAN Port)
Metric: 2

Try this and you should be able to get through.

Not sure i quite understand that sorry

 

[comp2130]

Yeah I got it quite slow I did that and i still can't get through

 

[comp2130]

Fa 0/0 192.168.1.2
Fa 0/1 192.168.0.17

1st router

2nd router
Fa 0/1 not set
Fa 1/0 192. 168.2.2

 

[tcolvinMI]

Im confused now, where did 0.17 come from?

 

[comp2130]

Idk some other network on top between routers

 

[comp2130]

It has 192.168.0.16/28

Take it a step at a time.

Try an establish connection between the two routers first. Once you think you have try pinging Router 2 from Router 1. Until this works you cannot proceed.

Yes I can ping both my routers on my top diagram but not the two computers

 

[comp2130]

Actually I can now ping both computers but 2 out of 4 packets make it and every other ping is successful
