Hi all, I have just been battling a rather odd routing(?) problem. I have a 2621XM router, which has an ethernet segment attached. This router is connected to an AS5300 via a modem connected to the aux port. The AS5300 has other connections. Both routers have loopback interfaces configured.
Setup... Fa0/0--RTA--Aux--modem----AS5300--Fa0--lots of other stuff Routing is basically via static routes, because this is actually the failover connection - RTA also has an ISDN connection via a BRI interface that, at the time of the problem, was (deliberately) down. Problem is, that I can ping from the AS5300 to the loopback of RTA, or even to the FA0/0 ip address, but I can't (usually) ping to any hosts on the Fa0/0 subnet. Nor can I ping from a PC on the RTA Fa0/0 subnet to the AS5300. Weird thing? If I clear the IP routes on RTA, the next ping (or two, on one occasion) works. Then they start failing again. The pings that work have reasonably short response times, and even if I extend the timeouts on the failing pings to 20 seconds they don't work, so I don't think it's a timeout problem. I think I've seen this or read about this somewhere - it's niggling at my brain. But I can't work out what the heck is going on, and my brain is now fried. Any hints?? (If you're really interested in the ip addressing, I'll post it, but according to the routing tables there is a path all the way there and all the way back).
