ping question

txn41655

hi, I am still new to networking. Could anyone tell me why I able ping the gateway (10.0.1.1/29) and S1 (10.0.1.2/29 middle switch) from my PC but unable to ping the switch(10.0.1.3/29) where my pc(172.20.0.2) is Directly connected? thanks.

*all switches are in VLAN 99 and the PC on VLAN 10.

Wrong default gateway on the switch, most likely. Can you post the configs? Maybe condense them a bit.

Actually My PC(172.20.0.2) is on VLAN 10 but I thought I configured the router for inter-VLAN communications!?

MAC_Addy

Looks like this is configured wrong:

interface GigabitEthernet0/1.99
encapsulation dot1Q 99
ip address 10.0.2.1 255.255.255.248

txn41655

Could you explain why is that configured wrong? thanks.

*GigabitEthernet 0/1 is connected to middle switch S2 (10.0.2.2/29 VLAN 99).

You have this:

interface GigabitEthernet0/0.99
encapsulation dot1Q 99
ip address 10.0.1.1 255.255.255.248

And this:

interface GigabitEthernet0/1.99
encapsulation dot1Q 99
ip address 10.0.2.1 255.255.255.248

Both are different subnets.

p@r0tuXus

Both are different subnets.

You've got the same issue going on with the other VLANs also. Check your subnets!

txn41655

yes,I have 2 subnets. Would that prevent my PC-A.1 ping the directly connected switch?

MAC_Addy

Can you ask the question again? You gave the diagram for the whole topology, but I cannot tell which PC you're trying to ping from.

txn41655

sure, why CAn't I ping the switch(10.0.1.3/29) FROM my PC-A.1 (172.20.0.2)?? I can ping the middle switch and can ping the gateway.thanks.

Is the SVI up on the switch? Is the SVI in the right VLAN? Can you show us the config & show ip int brief on the switch?

txn41655

PC-A.1 is connected to FastEthernet0/5 (vlan 10) . I am able ping switch S2 (10.0.2.2) from PC-A.1 (172.20.0.2).

If you can post up your packet tracer file to somewhere like http://www.filedropper.com/ please

You don't have an IP address assigned to the switch and vlan 1 is shutdown. Also, I don't see a default-gateway configured.

If you can ping SW1, look at the config on SW1 and see what's different.

thanks ypark, the default gateway was missing. it working now!!
