Creating Static Route Using 2 2501 Cisco Routers

[Up]

This question is a follow up Mike's answer to connecting two 2501 Cisco Routers. The following paragraph below:

I need a further explanation on setting up a static route between each router OR something like RIP, OSPF or whatever for the serial link to be "seen" from the ethernet side. Dont worry about encapsualation as the default is HDLC.
How do I set up this area above?

Many Thanks,
Robert

Can we ASSUME that you can already ping across the Serial interface ?
If you can than I would possible set up EIGRP on each router .

router>en
Router#conf t
Router(config)router eigrp 1
router(config-router)network 192.168.1.1

try this than ping across from one ethernet to another .
NOTE:Make sure that the ethernet interfaces are not SHUT DOWN

Robert-- for a static route,

ip route (target-network-ip) mask (next hop IP)

router1#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 123.123.123.123

This statement says ANY subnet with ANY mask will go to the 123 network. You can fiddle with the mask to tighten up or loosen the *window* For example, if I use the IP of 192.1.1.0 and a mask of 255.255.255.0, only the first 254 addresses will pass through this route. The mask limits by forcing an exact match to the first 3 octets and wild-carding the last octet.
