Question

I need help adding a router to my network

Asked by: hullc65203

I'm using a Cisco 1750 to subnet my office network. I've got 2 interfaces defined: 10.71.42.126 and 10.71.42.158.

I'm trying to connect my branches using an MPLS connnection. I've set the new MPLS router at 10.71.42.142. I can ping 142 from source 158, but not from 126.

I had the MPLS router setup with these static routes:
Ip route 10.71.42.0 255.255.255.128 10.71.42.126
Ip route 10.71.42.128 255.255.255.224 10.71.42.158
Ip route 10.71.42.160 255.255.255.224 10.71.42.158 (this is my dmz for the email server)
I feel as though I'm overlooking something on my Cisco. Can someone look at my config and give me a suggestion?

I think you didnt put routing for 10.71.42.0/25 network on 10.71.42.142 router.
If you enabled MPLS and you put vrf tag on interface you need to make
ip route vrf [vrf name] 10.71.42.0 255.255.255.128 10.71.42.158.

 

by: hullc65203Posted on 2008-12-18 at 21:11:36ID: 23210337

That gave me a good idea. I took out all 3 routes and replaced them with 10.71.42.0/24 10.71.42.158.

Seems to be routing now.

Thanks!
