Solved: Basic Routing Question

dan_track · ‎04-15-2010

Hi,

I've just installed a frame-realy lab for the first time and started using it. It's really basic with one hub router (R1) and two spoke routers (R2 and R3). I've setup two subnets 192.168.100.0/30 and 192.168.100.4/30.

Although I can ping the spoke to the hubs respectively, the confusing part is when I run "show ip route", for both the spokes I get the following:

R2:

Gateway of last resort is not set

192.168.100.0/30 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C 192.168.100.0 is directly connected, Serial0/0.1

R3:

Gateway of last resort is not set

192.168.100.0/30 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C 192.168.100.4 is directly connected, Serial0/0.1

For the hub I get:

R1:

Gateway of last resort is not set

     192.168.100.0/30 is subnetted, 2 subnets
C       192.168.100.4 is directly connected, Serial0/0.2
C       192.168.100.0 is directly connected, Serial0/0.1

My question is why do the spokes and the hub say the following:

192.168.100.0/30 is subnetted, 2 subnets

Shouldn't R2 show

192.168.100.0/30 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C 192.168.100.0 is directly connected, Serial0/0.1

and R3 shoudl show:

192.168.100.4/30 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C 192.168.100.0 is directly connected, Serial0/0.1

Can someone please explain this to me?

Many thanks

Dan

R3 be:

192.168.100.3/30 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C 192.168.100.4 is directly connected, Serial0/0.1

Ending with .3 will cover the connected subnet. Ending with .0 will not cover that network.

and R2 should be:

192.168.100.0/30 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C 192.168.100.0 is directly connected, Serial0/0.1

Also in R1

     192.168.100.0/30 is subnetted, 2 subnets
C       192.168.100.4 is directly connected, Serial0/0.2
C       192.168.100.0 is directly connected, Serial0/0.1

where it states " 192.168.100.0/30 is subnetted, 2 subnets", how can that be subnetted into two? "192.168.100.0/30" only covers teh first subnet it can't cover teh subnet 192.168.100.3/30?

Obviously I must missing something

Thanks

192.168.100.0 255.255.255.252 =

subnet = 192.168.100.0

2 host addresses = 192.168.100.1 & 192.168.100.2

broadcast address = 192.168.100.3

so your next subnet is

192.168.100.4 255.255.255.252 =

subnet = 192.168.100.4

2 host addresses = 192.168.100.5 & 192.168.100.6

broadcast address = 192.168.100.7

All R1 is saying is that it is aware of 2 subnets of the 192.168.100.0 network using the 255.255.255.252 mask ie. 192.168.100.0/30 and 192.168.100.4/30.

R3:

Gateway of last resort is not set

192.168.100.0/30 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C 192.168.100.4 is directly connected, Serial0/0.1

the above is correct because the subnet is 192.168.100.4 255.255.255.252

and R3 shoudl show:

192.168.100.4/30 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C 192.168.100.0 is directly connected, Serial0/0.1

this would not be correct because the subnet is not 192.168.100.0 255.255.255.252 as that is assigned between R1 and R2.
