Network configuration using Linksys WRT54GS routers.

Part 0: Setup

  1. Download and run the Virtual Machine
  2. Update the simulator twice
lightning update

Part I: Simple network interconnection

Start the VM and load the scenario.

student@uc3m:~$ lightning start RSC/S16_escenario_1

Desired configuration:

scenario2

Network Segment
A 10.0.3.0/24
B 10.0.4.0/24
RA-RB 10.0.0.0/30
Device Interface IP
RA eth0.0 10.0.3.2/24
eth0.1 10.0.0.1/30
RB eth0.0 10.0.4.2/24
eth0.1 10.0.0.2/30
PCA eth1 10.0.3.1/24
PCB eth1 10.0.4.1/24

Remove the default IP addresses assigned to the eth0.0 through eth0.4 and wlan0 interfaces in the routers.

RA# show interface eth0.0
[...]
inet=192.168.0.1/24
[...]
RA# configure terminal  # enter config mode
RA(config)# interface eth0.0  # select interface
RA(config-if)# no ip adress 192.168.0.1/24  # pre-configured IP (one received with show interface)
RA(config-if)# exit

Do the same for eth0.1, eth0.2, eth0.3, eth0.4, wlan0, and for router RB.

RA(config)# exit
RA# show interface eth0.0  # to check it was done correctly, inet shouldn't show

Assign an IP address to the Ethernet interface eth1 of computer PCA that is connected to Network A

First we see the asigned IPs for PCA and PCB.

student@PCA:~$ ip a
[...]
3: eth1@[...]
[...]
inet=192.100.101/24  # default PCA IP
[...]

Remove the default IP.

student@PCA:~$ sudo ip addr del 192.100.100.101/24 dev eth1

Do the same for PCB.

Assign an IP address to the interface of RA that is connected to the Network A

Add IP to PCA.

student@PCA:~$ sudo ip addr add 10.0.3.1/24 dev eth1

Configure RA interface w/ PCA.

RA# configure terminal
RA(config)# interface eth0.0
RA(config-ip)# ip address 10.0.3.2/24
RA(config-ip)# exit 
RA(config)# exit

Verify that the router and the host can reach each other using the ping command.

Check that you can ping from PCA to RA.

student@PCA:~$ ping 10.0.3.2

Connect RA and RB through their Ethernet interfaces.

Assign IP addresses to the interfaces that connect both routers.

RA# configure terminal
RA(config)# interface eth0.1
RA(config-ip)# ip address 10.0.0.1/30
RA(config-ip)# exit 
RA(config)# exit
RB# configure terminal
RB(config)# interface eth0.1
RB(config-ip)# ip address 10.0.0.2/30
RB(config-ip)# exit
RB(config)# exit

Verify that routers can reach each other using the ping command.

RA# ping 10.0.0.2
RB# ping 10.0.0.1

Assign an IP address to the interface of RB connected to Network B

Add IP to PCB.

student@PCB:~$ sudo ip addr add 10.0.4.1/24 dev eth1

Configure RB interface w/ PCB.

RB# configure terminal
RB(config)# interface eth0.0
RB(config-ip)# ip address 10.0.4.2/24
RB(config-ip)# exit 
RB(config)# exit

Verify that the router and the host can reach each other using the ping command.

Check that you can ping from PCA to RA.

student@PCB:~$ ping 10.0.4.2

Configure in both routers the routing table entries so that router A can reach network B and vice versa

Forward stuff to Network B (10.0.4.0/24) through RB eth0.1 (10.0.0.2).

RA# configure terminal
RA(config)# ip route 10.0.4.0/24 10.0.0.2

Forward stuff to Network A (10.0.3.0/24) through RA eth0.1 (10.0.0.1).

RB# configure terminal
RB(config)# ip route 10.0.4.0/24 10.0.0.1

Configure the routing tables in PCA so it can reach Network B

Route stuff to the outside (default/0.0.0.0/0), and Network B (10.0.4.0/24) through RA eth0.0 (10.0.3.2).

student@PCA:~$ sudo ip route add default via 10.0.3.2
student@PCA:~$ sudo ip route add 10.0.4.0/24 via 10.0.3.2

Perform the corresponding settings in PCB

Route stuff to the outside (default/0.0.0.0/0), and Network A (10.0.3.0/24) through RB eth0.0 (10.0.4.2).

student@PCB:~$ sudo ip route add default via 10.0.4.2
student@PCB:~$ sudo ip route add 10.0.3.0/24 via 10.0.4.2

Use the ping and traceroute command from PCA to PCB

student@PCA:~$ ping 10.0.4.1
student@PCB:~$ ping 10.0.3.1
student@PCA:~$ traceroute -n 10.0.4.1
student@PCB:~$ traceroute -n 10.0.3.1

Close lightning with

student@uc3m:~$ lightning stop

Part II: Network configuration

Start the VM and load the scenario.

student@uc3m:~$ lightning start RYSCA/p_encam_a

Configuration:

scenario2

We'll use the 10.0.98.0/24 segment.

R100 eth0.0 10.0.100.100/24
eth0.1 10.0.0.100/24

DO NOT TOUCH R100.

Assign IP addresses to the router interfaces

(for each router Rx, each interface eth0.y)

Rx# configure terminal
Rx(config)# interface eth0.y
Rx(config-if)# no ip adress <old_ip>
Rx(config-ip)# ip address <new_ip>  # ip with prefix
Rx(config-ip)# exit 
Rx(config)# exit

Also remember to delete wlan0

Assign IP addresses to the hosts

(for each host hstOfix):

student@hstOfix:~$ ip a  # show ip
student@hstOfix:~$ sudo ip addr del <old_ip> dev eth1
student@hstOfix:~$ sudo ip addr add <new_ip> dev eth1  # ip with prefix

Check that connectivity exists between PCs hstOfi1, hstOfi2 and the routers R1, R2

Ping from hstOfix to Ry (for each host hstOfix, router Ry):

student@hstOfix:~$ ping <ip Ry eth0.1>  # ip without prefix
Ry ping <ip hstOfix>

Check connectivity in each of the point-to-point network that interconnects the routers

Ping from Rx ethi to Ry ethj (for each pair of routers in the same network, using the correct interfaces, the ones "pointing" to the other router)

Rx# ping <ip Ry ethj>
Ry# ping <ip Rx ethi>

Configure the required static routes in the routers (routing tables)

Remember to put all routes, and that direct connections don't need to be configured.

The routing tables are:

The metrics are used to set the priority of each route. By default, it's 1 (max priority), so set the secondary routes to 5 (you can leave the rest empty).

Let's configure the tables (for each router Rx, each entry in the routing table)

Rx# configure terminal
Rx(config)# ip route <dest> <next hop> <metric>

You can check the configuration with:

Rx# show ip route

To delete a configured route:

Rx(config)# no ip route <dest> <next hop>

Configure the required static routes in the hosts (routing tables)

(for each host hstOfix connected to router Ry)

student@hstOfix:~$ sudo ip route add default via <ip Ry eth0.1>

You can check the configuration with:

student@hstOfix:~$ ip route

To delete a configured route:

student@hstOfix:~$ sudo ip route del <dest> <next hop>

Check the network is connected

You can both use ping and traceroute (traceroute is more useful for debugging).

Let's check if it reaches from hstOfi1 to hstOfi2, and vice versa.

student@hstOfi1:~$ ping 10.0.98.130
student@hstOfi2:~$ ping 10.0.98.2

Now let's check it reaches outside.

student@hstOfi2:~$ ping 10.0.0.69

Force a link failure, use the interface configuration command shutdown to disable the interfaces on both the routers connected to the link

Let's cut link between R1 and R2 and try to reach from hstOfi1 to hstOfi2

R1(config)# interface eth0.3
R1(config-if)# shutdown
R2(config)# interface eth0.2
R2(config-if)# shutdown

To restore the link.

R1(config-if)# no shutdown
R2(config-if)# no shutdown

And traceroute:

student@hstOfi1:~$ traceroute -n 10.0.98.130

Part III: RIP protocol

First remove the static routes previously configured in the routers (no ip route).

Enable and configure the dynamic routing protocol RIP in the corresponding router interfaces

(for each router Rx in network Ny through interface eth0.z)

Rx# configure terminal
Rx(config)# router rip
Rx(config-router)# network <ip Ny>
Rx(config-router)# network eth0.z

You can check your config with:

Rx# show ip rip
Rx# show ip rip status

To delete something:

Rx(config-router)# no network <ip Ny>
Rx(config-router)# no network eth0.z

Check it works

Ping from router to router, and from PC to PC.

student@hstOfi1:~$ ping 10.0.98.130
student@hstOfi2:~$ ping 10.0.98.2

Now let's check it reaches outside.

student@hstOfi2:~$ ping 10.0.0.69
