Earned my CCNA back in September. Time to start polishing those skills in anticipation of a job. Also, been listening to a lot of tech related podcasts. Just started one about networking in general (NOT Cisco specific) called Packet Pushers. Much of it is over my head at this time, but that will change.
So, let's do a simple static assignment lab. As an aside, just updated GNS3 to version 1.1 and now my old templates don't work. I am missing something here.
Going to use two 3745 router images, because that's what I have. Two routers, one called New York, and the other called Washington. Doing this lab from gns3vault.com, so I should probably say that here. One thing to remember when adding a host name, for any beginners: the command is hostname "name_of_host". I used quotation marks around the name, which isn't actually necessary. Bear in mind, though, that you CANNOT use spaces in the host name.
My task is to set a few static routes. Got 2 routers, setting up loopback0 ipv4 addresses on both (2.2.2.2/30 on one and 1.1.1.1/30 on the other). Can ping to 1.1.1.1 but cannot ping to 2.2.2.2. Will have to see what the problem is. Not running GNS3 as an administrator? Trying that now. All other config seems fine.
