Pinging Wireless Router

Bolton07

I am doing a packet tracer activity. It says i am 100% complete.

I am able to ping from One PC in one VLAN to another PC in another VLAN. But when trying to ping a wireless router from a PC in the same VLAN the ping is unscuccesful

Can anybody help please with pinging the Wireless Router?

The Packet tracer lab is from the Official Cisco network Academy.

Below is the packet Tracer lab number:-

Maybe you could upload your PT file so someone can check it out for you?

Tried to upload the packet tracer file, but this forum does not seem to accept Packet Tracer files

Thanks

Will do

Are you aware that PC0 and PC1 are NOT in different VLANs? And the wireless routers ARE in different VLANs?

Bolton07

Thanks

Should have seen that myself

If they are put in the correct VLANs should the ping work?

As far as I can tell from the PT file that's how it's supposed to be -- isn't it? Which would mean there's something wrong with the trunking. But this is really strange because when I try ping from PC1 to the wireless router, I see the packet go up to the other the router, then come back down to the wireless router (which is what you would expect), but that's as far as it goes. I can't figure out why it's not pinging

I just went through the PT and got the same result as you. 100%, but can't ping between the PC and the wireless router.

I don't think my VLANs were wrongly assigned in the packet tracer.

I think there might be an error with the activity.

What IP address should you use of the wireless router to ping? There seems to be two set up on the wireless router - LAN and Internet.

Also are there any additional configs you can think of for this activity?

I think the problem has to do with an IP issue with the wireless router. Instead of looking at the 192.168.30.15 it's looking at the 172.16.40.10 address. That's what I think but I could be wrong, maybe someone else can confirm.

What do the internet and LAN ports of the wireless routers mean?

Is it as simple as one is directly connected to the internet and the other is for the Local Area Network

I'm assuming you'd plug in your modem into the internet port, and the PCs into the LAN ports (PCs that's aren't using wireless, obviously). As far as how they are supposed to work in that particular exercise, I don't know.
