my company is connected a remote office that will be 2 hops away from the corp. office router. we already have a connection to the 1st hop via serial ports. but the last hop will be via wireless radios which isn't a big deal. my dilemma is WHERE to insert any config lines so that a PC at the main office can ping the remote office.
Assuming that KWCHRTR is your corp router, that KBSLRTR is the remote router, and that KBSHRTR is the first hop router, then you should be sure that KWCHRTR has a route for the user subnet at the remote (10.30.51.0/24) which has the first hop router as the next hop. You also need to be sure that the first hop router has a route for this subnet pointing to KBSLRTR as the next hop. If I interpret the drawing and your description correctly I believe that KBSLRTR can use just a default route pointing to the first hop route as its next hop. The next hop router will need to have a route for the subnet(s) of KWCHRTR (or perhaps its default route) which point to KWCHRTR as the next hop.
What you have looks good. It does not address the question of KBSHRTR routes to KWCHRTR. I can not tell from the diagram whether a default route on KBSHRTR would be appropriate (pointing to KWCHRTR) or whether it needs static routes for subnets on KWCHRTR.
That is not what I am asking. What I am asking is what is there in the routing table that will point to kwch? Are there routes for the user subnet(s) or is there a default route that points to kwch as the next hop?
Yes that would be what I was looking to see. It should work fine.
