I am a user for rip for many years now, but I would like to venture into OSPF.
So far I have 2 routers talking to one another in OSPF.
On the furthest router to me I have ether5 with 192.168.254.254 on it. Connected to ether5 is another device with 192.168.254.1 on it. This device is just a mt cpe with no routing enabled on it. Just once static route pointing back to 192.168.254.254.
Now with my laptop plugged into the router closest to me, I can ping 192.168.254.254 which is the ip of ether5 of the furthest router from me, but I can not ping 192.168.254.1. Why?
