Objectives

  • Part 1: Evaluate Network Operation
  • Part 2: Gather Information, Create an Action Plan, and Implement Corrections

Background / Scenario

All the network devices in this Packet Tracer Physical Mode (PTPM) activity have been preconfigured to include intentional errors that are preventing the network from routing as intended. Your task is to evaluate the network, identify, and correct the configuration errors to restore full connectivity. You may find errors with the route statements or with other configurations that impact the accuracy of the route statements.

Note: The static routing approach used in this activity is used to assess your ability to configure different types of static routes only. This approach may not reflect networking best practices.

Instructions

Part 1: Evaluate Network Operation

Use the ping and/or traceroute commands from the router to test the following criteria and record the results.

Note: Use the PCs in the wiring closet to gain console access to networking devices in order to explore and change the device configurations.

Part 2: Gather Information, Create an Action Plan, and Implement Corrections

a. For each criterion that is not met, gather information by examining the running configuration and routing tables to develop a hypothesis for what is causing the malfunction.

R1:

R1# show running-config | include ip route
ip route 209.165.200.128 255.255.255.128 192.168.0.3
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.14 80
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.3

R2:

R2# show running-config | include ipv6 route
ipv6 route 2001:DB8:ACAD:209::/64 2001:DB7:ACAD:16::1
ipv6 route ::/0 2001:DB8:ACAD::1 90
ipv6 route ::/0 2001:DB8:ACAD:15::1

b. Create an action plan that you think will fix the issue. Develop a list of all the commands you intend to use to fix the issue, and a list of all the commands you need to revert the configuration, should your action plan fail to correct the issue.

c. Execute your action plans one at a time for each criterion that fails, and record the fix actions.

Routing problems on both routers:

  1. Wrong IP for next hop: R1 route to 209.165.200.128/25 via 192.168.0.3; R2 route to 2001:db8:acad:209::/64 via 2001:db7:acad:16::1.
  2. AD set high versus default: the primary default route uses AD 80 on R1 (via 192.168.0.14) and AD 90 on R2 (via 2001:db8:acad::1).
  3. Default AD used and wrong next hop IP: the floating default route uses AD 1 with next hop 192.168.0.3 on R1 and 2001:db8:acad:15::1 on R2.

R1:

R1(config)# no ip route 209.165.200.128 255.255.255.128 192.168.0.3
R1(config)# ip route 209.165.200.128 255.255.255.128 192.168.0.30
R1(config)# no ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.14 80
R1(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.14
R1(config)# no ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.3
R1(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.30 80

R2:

R2(config)# no ipv6 route 2001:db8:acad:209::/64 2001:db7:acad:16::1
R2(config)# ipv6 route 2001:db8:acad:209::/64 2001:db8:acad:16::1
R2(config)# no ipv6 route ::/0 2001:db8:acad::1 90
R2(config)# ipv6 route ::/0 2001:db8:acad::1
R2(config)# no ipv6 route ::/0 2001:db8:acad:15::1
R2(config)# ipv6 route ::/0 2001:db8:acad:16::1 80
