Inter VLAN Routing

Hi everyone

Long time ! Hope your doing well

I am preparing CCNA and have tried Inter VLAN Routing on routersim and netsim simulations but when i ping it seems there is a problem. It been driving me mad now

please could you help me rectify the problem. I would appreciate your help.

Here is the cut and paste work

Hi,

I just did the same scenario. I can ping from PC1 to PC2 without problems.. I think the problem starts when you want to ping from the switch and defines the vlan with an IP address. I cant really explain exactly what happens, but no matter what, the inter-vlan routing for the clients still seem to happen. My first thought, would be something with the administrative vlan.

mikej412

A layer 2 switch (like the 2950 you're simulating) has an administrative interface defined using the interface VLAN command -- and you can only have 1 active. So you usually only create one.

Without seeing the output of a show ip interface brief command from the switch, we don't know which Administrative Interface was active, but if Interface VLAN 20 was active, then Interface VLAN 10 would shut down.

If Interface VLAN 10 was down, then you'd need a default gateway defined on the switch that Interface VLAN 20 could reach. You do need a default gateway on the switch if you plan on trying to ping all your networks from the switch.

Hi,

Yes, i just tried it out, the first Vlan interface thats active, is the one that "wins".. if you do a shutdown on the first vlan interface, it takes the second one.

In this scenario, it only uses Vlan10
Vlan10 192.168.2.200 YES manual up up
Vlan20 192.168.3.200 YES manual up up

In that case you can only ping stuff on the Vlan 10.

Why to use SVI anyway, when inter-vlan routing is performed by router...

Also check if the router & switch are using same trunk encapsulation as routers doesnt support DTP.

First thing I noticed.

1.) en
2.) config t
3.) interface fastethernet 0/1
4.) no ip address
5.) no shutdown
6.) int f0/1.1
7.) encapsulation dot1q 10
8.) ip address 192.168.2.254 255.255.255.0
9.) int f0/1.2
10.) go on from here

lildeezul

looks to me like your vlans werent created.

even though switchport access vlan x would dynamically create the vlans, try to static add vlans.

because looking at your vlan database you only have vlans 1 1002-1005

i dont see 10 or 20

Bakri

Dear,

You should greate VLAN 10 & 20 in your switch. As you see they aren't present in your VLAN database.

Secondly, 2950 is L2 switch. Thus, you can't assign for it two IPs.
