here is my hardware now...
2511 com-server= = loopback 192.168.10.10
2x 2610 router
2900 xl sw
now I just created some loopbacks in
R1= 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
R2= 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.0 >>>so they can talk to each other but I get ping failed
I am connected from 2511 to 2610s and SW1
I am able to connect from com-serv to R1,R2,SW1 with telnet sesion from com-ser..my question is
do I have to configure serial 0/0 in R1 and r2 with static ip for R1 to talk to R2 and if yes is R1 need to be connected directely to R2.. ?
Help!!!!!!!!
Thanks

Hi Karim,
I am glade with your insistence to learn :) please keep up the nice practice.
The problem with your routers is that the Ethernet Interface of R2 is shutdown, please use "no shut" to have it operational.
You can see that from the configuration, and since it is not showing in the "show ip route" of R2 (if an interface is not UP/UP it will not show in the routing table).

Hi Karim,
Nice work :) please keep up ... i hope that you'll keep up the nice work until reaching the CCIE lab :)

Hi Karim,
Can you attach or post a simple diagram with all the IPs, and preferred the configuration of the your devices, in order to help you in your scenario.
And yes you'll need to configure serial IPs or Ethernet IPs to make connectivity between your devices (the comm-server cables are for reverse telnet only not for connectivity).
To connect 2 routers back-to-back via serial interfaces you need DCE-DTE cable, if you need to connect them back-to-back via Ethernet you need a cross-over cable, and if through a switch you need 2 straight through cables.

Hi Mo,
first of all I hope you don't mind me calling you Mo. :-).. that how I call one of my best freind, back to a subjet...I have comm-ser connected to R1,R2, and a 2950 xl .. then I have a R1=2610 connected from ethernet to ethernet 1x on sw 2950 and the same for R2 on 2x ethernet port of the SW with straight through cable.
no ip is configured yet on R1,R2, OR 2950 SW...

Hi Karim,
First of all you are very welcomed, and you can call me Mo with no problems, as long as he is your friend :)
As we agreed earlier the connection from the comm-server to the console of the devices is used for management purposes only and not for connectivity.
Now, since you have connected the routers through the switch using Ethernet you'll need to configure IPs on the Ethernet interfaces of the routers to have connectivity between your routers.
As a best practice for you lab (this is what i do), allocate a network for your loopbacks, and another one for your serial IPs, and a third one for your Ethernet IPs, and always do the subnetting using them.
I hope that i've been informative.

Hi Karim,
Nice start for a lab please keep up the nice work :), i am sure that you'll find the Ethernet interface shut, and when no shut it everything will work out.
Just to make sure that you have no conflicts, the loopback interface is not bonded to any physical interface, it is a logical interface used for reverse telnet, routing protocols and other purposes and it is not bonded to any physical interface.
Take care, waiting for your feed back.

P.S When attaching diagrams try having it in jpg of gif format and not bmp, in order to reduce its size.

that will do it . I was able to see r1 from r2 and r2 from r1.. I will add an other router to the network that will be router 3 .. you here about it soon :-} Thanks for the help Mo..
