Inter-VLAN routing with internet access.

Hi Guys,
I have a 3750 catalyst switch with 4 VLANs, I have configured intervlan routing btw the VLANs and can ping end nodes a well as the ip address 195.153.117.190 (G1/0/1). The switch is connected to a seperate LAN using no switchport on int G1/0/1. However, all nodes on the VLANs cannot ping either the LAN (195.153.117.x) or the internet but the switch can. I'm guessing its a config issue but can seem to get where the error is. I need internet access for the VLANs. Pls help
Config output is listed below (truncated)

Can you ping 195.153.117.190 from the other vlans?

Also what is 195.153.117.5 ?

oj_amira

I can ping 195.153.117.190 from the other VLANs but not the default gateway 195.153.117.5 (Firewall). The switch can however ping this address and can access the internet.
Route config is...

Switch#sh ip route
Codes: C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2
ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route
o - ODR, P - periodic downloaded static route

Gateway of last resort is 195.153.117.5 to network 0.0.0.0

C 195.153.117.0/24 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet1/0/1
C 192.168.3.0/24 is directly connected, Vlan3
C 192.168.2.0/24 is directly connected, Vlan2
C 192.168.4.0/24 is directly connected, Vlan4
S* 0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via 195.153.117.5

Does the device your switch is plugged into (I'm guessing its your internet router?)know about the subnets you have off of your switch? If not, you may want to run a routing protocol between them.

oj_amira

the route to my subnets has been entered into the firewall but still no joy. However, something interesting, when I ping with the dns name e.g. mustang from a VLAN, the node correctly resolved the IP addresses of the machines 195.153.117.51, x.x.x.17, x.x.x.220 and the addresses are not cached.

The issue could be on the firewall.. I dont see anything wrong with the config on the switch.

oj_amira

I tried pinging from the LAN 195.153.117.x to the end node on the VLAN 192.168.3.3 and I got an ICMP echo reply.

Is there a default access list or security measure on the switch that needs to be disabled or did I get get the config wrong somewhere?

Ok, just want to sure i'm clear, this switch has two boxes connected to it.

1 - Firewall (used for routing to internet as well)?
1 - Router to another LAN?

Does the 195.153.117.190 router have routes for the 192.168.0.0\16 networks?

Do your end machines have firewalls enabled to block ICMP request?
Is there an IPS that may be blocking them somewhere?

oj_amira

LAN (195.153.117.0 - DG x.x.x.5)
            ||
3750(195.153.117.190 - G1/0/1)
  ||          ||         ||
VLAN2       VLAN3      VLAN4

The switch is connected to the LAN with default gateway as x.x.x.5 and DNS as x.x.x.2.

The nodes on the VLAN are connected to the switch and can ping other VLANs as well as the switch IP address x.x.x.190 but cannot ping anyother address on the LAN including the DG x.x.x.5 (Note: the DG being firewalls are configured to ignore ICMP requests anyway)

gojericho0

Can you post the LAN routers config up as well? I don't think the problem is with your switch

oj_amira

unfortunately I can't get access to the LAN routers as this is meant to be tried out before deployment

gojericho0

If you can ping the VLAN host from the LAN router it is routing correctly. I just wasn't sure if there as an ACL in the router that blocked ping requests from the 192 network

oj_amira

that blocks anything

gojericho0

I thought you said it doesn't get blocked?

nullrouter

I think you have a return path issue - what do you have as the destination for your vlan subnets on your firewall/internet router - The VLAN SVIs or the L3 interface of your switch?

See if you can establish a routing protocol between your switch and the firewall/internet router.

What sort of firewall are we talking about here?

oj_amira

I believe it is a return path issue as you suggested. Pinging a machine on the LAN running a packet capture app, from the VLAN, shows the ICMP requests and reply being generated on the LAN machine. This suggests that the request actually get to the LAN but can't find their way back to the VLAN.

I will have to liaise with the NetAdmin to resolve the issue as it does not look like a Switch config issue anymore. Cheers

Are there NAT rules on the firewall for the source VLANs?

mjobay

I'm Sure you are connected to the firewall on the inside interface. Otherwise, all pings will be blocked until you allow it on the Firewall.
If you ping the inside interface, it should work. To ping the internet, the firewall will allow you if you are connected to the inside interface unless there's an ACL blocking the ping.
