Hi All, I have 4 locations connected by 1721 routers on PTP T1s, a hub and 3 spokes. If I try to ping spoke to spoke, I time out.
I have only one route on each spoke:
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 se0

The hub routers have 3 routes each, example of hub to spoke3:
10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 192.168.0.200
192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.175
192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 se0

When doing a trace, I only hop to the far end serial interface before timeouts. What IP route do I need to put on a spoke to have it talk directly to another spoke? Our address spaces are
HUB: 192.168.0.x/24
Spoke1: 192.168.2.x/24
Spoke2: 10.10.1.x/8 (I know, I didn't address it)
Spoke3: 192.168.3.x/24
Router Se0s: 192.168.254.x/30
 
I am confused. Do you have multiple routers that you are calling hub routers?
 
What are the outside facing IP addresses of each router?

Your post is a bit confusing. If you have a single hub router and three spoke routers then your hub router needs to have routes to your spoke routers and their LAN interfaces. The spoke routers simply need a default route pointing back to the hub router.

You also want to make sure "ip classless" is configured or default routing won't work they way you expect it to work.
 
Sorry for the confusion, I have 3 routers at the hub, each going to a spoke. Each hub router has routes as descibed in my first post, and each spoke router has just the single route back to the hub.

Burt, if you are referring to the serial interface IPs, they are all 192.168.254.x/30. For example, between the hub (192.168.0.x) and the spoke named 21 (192.168.3.x), they are 192.168.254.9 and 192.168.254.10 respectively, with subnet 255.255.255.252

I only have ip classless on the 2 routers that connect one location. I will add that to all the others.
