Cisco Router Route of Last Resort

waterboy550
Level 1
Level 1

I am testing out a Cisco 1841 Router and need to set a route of last resort. I made a static route of "ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.16.48.1". Then issued the command "ip default-network 172.16.48.1". This now allows me to ping anything on the 172.16.0.0/16 network from the router. But I am not able to ping anything on the internet or outside of this network from the router. Here is my running config and routing table. What am I missing? fa0/0 is facing the network 172.16.0.0/16, and fa0/1 is facing another internal network.

Probably your internet GW doesn't know anything about the addresses you're using.

Note, "ip default-network" is of no use to you.

I ran the command no ip default-network to remove this and I'm still experiencing problems. Any thoughts?

As mentioned above. Your other routers do not know about you. Are you doing a lab or this is for business ?

This is part three of many more labs.

Please go back to routing 101 where it explains how each router needs to know somehow about all the networks around.
