RE: traceroute question

[Arigo, Francis]

I've seen something similar and the problem was that we had accidentally put clockrate statements on both routers instead of just the DCE.   Other than that, layer 1???. Has that cable tested good elsewhere?   -Francis -----Original Message----- From: Richard Holland [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 26, 2000 5:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: traceroute question A little bit of strange behavior, first off my setup:   Cisco 2501 with IOS 12.0.9 Enterprise Cisco 2504 with IOS 11.2 Enterprise   Cross over DTE<->DCE cable connecting their Sync Serial ports together   Right now im running hdlc b/w them, i've tried ppp, frame with maps, no inv-arp, etc.. it made no difference.   then network on the interfaces is 192.168.1.0/30   I have connectivity, ping works great, trace does NOT work hardly at all though.   RouterA-DCE#Trace RouterB   then it hangs for a good 3-4 seconds normally the trip times are 8ms * 4ms   as you can see, the middle time is a *, debug ip icmp shows the port unreachables being sent and recv'd (two of them).   Now the oddball part is, if you feed it no ip classless, the router broadcasts (255.255.255.255) the icmp packets out all the interfaces except Serial0, unicast on it.. this makes it take even longer! (normally 3 broadcasts 1 unicast/unicast reply, 3 broadcasts, etc)   Any idea what's up?  NO other networks configured on the router (which also gets rid of the broadcasts), routing table just has the connected route to 192.168.1.0/30 out Serial0   Richard Holland CCNP/MCSE
