MIS
I am in the process of migrating my remote offices to an MPLS-based network. Each site has 1 router, configured as a CE router. I have 1 site that is still on its old frame-relay connection, connected to my router (see crude drawing below!)
office2
|
(MPLS)
|
|
MyOffice--(frame relay)--Office3
|
(MPLS)
|
|
office1
Office1, Office2 and MyOffice can all connect to each other with no problems, but when Office1 or Office2 try to ping Office3, it fails. Nor can Office3 ping office1 or office2. I need to figure out a way to get O1 & O2 to access O3.
I had to enable BGP on the routers connected to the MPLS network, but not on the router still connected to the frame relay, could this be why the other offices can't see it?? But - since the O1 & O2 have to go through my router to get to O3, and my router can connect to the O3 router, why wouldn't the packets just pass back & forth through me anyway?
thanks for any input, this is confusing to me.
