Scenario:
You work as the network engineer for a company with an ambitious plan to build a tunnel between Japan and Australia. To support this project you have to configure the network with some new routers. You configure your network but you receive some “%TUN-5-RECURDOWN: Tunnel0 temporarily disabled due to recursive routing” errors. Time to dig to the core of this problem…
Goal:
- All IPv4 addresses have been preconfigured for you.
- Configure RIP version 2 on all routers. Use “network 0.0.0.0” to advertise everything on all routers.
- Configure a tunnel0 interface between the FastEthernet interfaces of router Japan and Australia.
- Configure network 192.168.13.0 /24 on the tunnel0 interface.
- Solve your recursive routing failure in any possible way.
It took me 1000s of hours reading books and doing labs, making mistakes over and over again until I mastered all the routing protocols for CCNP.
Would you like to be a master of routing too? In a short time without having to read 900 page books or google the answers to your questions and browsing through forums?
I collected all my knowledge and created a single ebook for you that has everything you need to know to become a master of routing.
You will learn all the secrets about tunneling, routing, recursive route failures and more.
