Can't ping VLAN Interface

I'm using GNS3. Using layer three switches. I have PC1 connected to SW2 and SW2 connected to SW1. From SW2 I can ping SW1 management VLAN interface, but from PC1 I can't anything. I assure you that all vlans have been added to the database. Any suggestions.

How is everything connected together. What port on SW2 is PC1 connected and what ports are connected between SW2 and SW1 (F1/0 and F1/1)? Am I correct in presuming you are trying to PING the VLAN 66 SVI on SW1?

PC1 is connected to FE1/2 on SW2 and SW2 is connected to SW1 via etherchannel FE1/0-FE1/1. Yes I'm trying to ping VLAN 66. I do have a Server connected to SW1 on port FE1/4 and the server can ping all VLAN interfaces. That server is in VLAN 68.

OK...I just dumped a slightly modified (to work with my 3560s) version of your configs onto 3 x 3560 L3 Switches and first thing I noticed is that the port on PC1 is not configured as a L3 Port. I assume that you are in fact using 3 Routers with Etherswitch modules rather than actual L3 switches, so this would not be a problem as you were using F0/N, which is a router port rather than F1/N which would be an Etherswitch port.

PC1 (F0/1) to (F0/3) SW2 (F0/1-2) to (F0/1-2) SW1

PING fails as described.

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.1.66.1, timeout is 2 seconds:

The interface on PC1 and on SW2 appear to be Up/Up

PC1#show ip interface brief | include 0\/1

VLAN 66 is allowed on the trunk on the SW2 side, but we see a problem immediately on SW1. VLAN 66 is allowed, but not Active.

I simply configured VLAN 66 on SW1

NL-B1-SW1#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
NL-B1-SW1(config)#vlan 66
NL-B1-SW1(config-vlan)#end

and

as I suspected, VLAN 66 is now Allowed, Forwarding, and Not Pruned.

Try configuring VLAN 66 on SW1 and see if it works.

[EDIT] Only thing is you should not have been able to PING VLAN 66 from SW2 either.

If that doesn't work, please post the output of (Note \/ is a backslash and a forward slash NOT a V) --

I am using routers with ether modules in them. The following was already my output on switch1 and switch2. Also SW2 can PING VLAN 66.

Try going back to GNS3 0.8.7. I was having a lot of issues with the switches and switch modules in the newer GNS3.

or try adding the no autostate on the VLAN.

CORP-R1(config)#int vlan 55
CORP-R1(config-if)#no autostate

Priston

Is vlan 66 in the vlan database on both switches?

Tried that command but still having the same issue. I have a feeling the issue may be with GNS3. I swear GNS3 sucks. Every time I have a problem It's always suggested to go back or up a version.

Yes it's in the databases

It appears so from the output of the commands he posted (VLAN 66 is present and active on both switches and allowed across the Trunk with all interfaces Up/Up). I cannot see any reason it shouldn't be working. It works on my 3560s and all I changed from the posted configs is the port numbers (3560 uses F0/[1-24], while the Etherswitch modules use F1/[0-??]) and added the "switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q" (required on switches that support Cisco's proprietary ISL Trunking) command before the command to make an interface a trunk. All I can figure is its a GNS3 issue as suggested by another poster.

DPG

Does it work if you remove the etherchannel between the routers and use a single link? Dynamips has always had issues with port aggregation.

I tried building the lab in 0.8.7 and it doesn't work. I think it's a limitation with the L2 switching with the switch modules. You can ping from switch to switch, PC to switch but not PC through switch 2. Tried with a pair of 3850's and it works fine.
