how do i connect two networks with two routers in packet tracer?

Question

I am am new to networking and I have recently started using packet tracer. I`m trying to get familiar with sub-netting and I've made a simple network that is going terribly wrong. I have 4 departments:IT, HR, management, and security. here are the sub-nets for each of them:

• IT:192.168.0.33/27
• HR:192.168.0.65/28
• management:192.168.0.81/28
• Security:192.168.0.97/28

i have two routers: router1 and router2

IT and HR are connected to router 1. router 1 has the dhcp pools for IT and HR. management and security are connected to router 2. router 2 has the dhcp pools for management and security

---

the routers are connected together through fa0/0 like so: router1 fa0/0:192.168.0.1/30 .router2 fa0/0: 192.168.0.2/30

Edit: here are the router configs:

router1:

end  

The problem is that when I try to ping IT to security I get that the host is unreachable. I would greatly appreciate your input on that to what I did wrong and what I should change. keep in mind that I amm still new to this and I have no idea what I`m doing. Sorry if my formatting and tags are not optimal, I am also new to this website. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You are not telling your routers about the networks on the other side of the other router. Router 1 has no idea that it should send packets destined to the two networks on the other side of Router 2 to Router 2, so it drops them. Router 2 is the same way with the networks on the other side of Router 1. If a router does not know how to reach a destination, it drops the packet.

Routers learn routes in three ways:

1. Directly connected networks
2. Statically configured routes
3. Dynamically with routing protocols

Since the missing routes are not directly connected to the routers missing them, you cannot use method 1. You either need to statically configure the non-attached networks with the ip route command, or you need to use one of the routing protocols to tell the routers how to reach them.
