Hi all- I'm really getting frustrated with reading answers to textbook troubleshooting excercises that don't seem to hold up in real life. I'd like to post the following scenario for help: Routing TCP/IP, Vol. 1, page 321 Question 1. The explanation that router RTC will incorrectly interpret the v2 advertisements from RTA and RTB (192.168.13.80/29 and 192.168.13.90/28) as 192.168.13.64/27 made sense to me at first glance. Since I only have two routers to work with at this point, I set up a config to partially test if this is the case. I was able to duplicate RTA's config with a 3620. For RTC, I set up a 2502 with only the TR configured. My thought was that at least this will allow me to see how RTC interprets the advertisement from RTA. When I looked at the route table for RTC expecting to see 192.168.13.64/27, I was surprised to see that the entry was actually 192.168.13.80/29. Is this because I don't have the second network on RTC as in the example? Or am I totally missing something???? Any help will be appreciated... On another note, can I connect the 2502s S0 and S1 back to back with a DTE/DCE crossover cable to simulate another network? Thanks in advance....
