on 3350 within the vlan51 cannot ping

azmath.hk · ‎02-13-2007

Hi,

I need your urgent help....

We have created vlan 51 and 52 on our switch network which consists of 2900 and 3550 series of switches..they are getting

IP addresses from DHCP router server...but vlan 51 cannot able to ping within the same vlan only on this 3550 switch.....Also I have enabled

ip route-cache flow....Do i have to enable for all vlans...

Please let me know, incase i need to configure more stuff

I have attached config and show mac-address

Regards,

Azmath

Hi,

I really don't know what your network looks like. But what you are trying to say is this, all the workstations in vlan 51 cannot ping vlan 51 workstations in the same switch which is the 3550? Can you ping workstations in vlan 52? What device are you using for inter-vlan routing? If your workstations are Windows XP SP2 then try to check the windows firewall. Also, check your DHCP server. Try to set a static IP address on two workstations in the same vlan then try to ping. Ensure that the Windows Firewall is off.

Regards,

Pat

Hi

Your config of the 3550 is a little confusing. You have ports configured as both switchport access and trunk links.

Could you confirm

1) Which ports are used for uplinks to other switches.

2) Where are your L3 vlan interfaces for 51 & 52.

3) Are you saying that on the 3550 you can only ping clients within the same vlan but not any clients within that vlan on other switches.

Basically we are not using any routing between vlan as this configuration for hotel network...VLAN 51 users are getting IP address from router(DHCP server) in our switch network we have 2900 and 3500 switches...and we have created vlan51 on all switches and able to ping on 2900 series switches when we connect two machines in same vlan51 on 3550 switch they are not able to ping each other...please advice

Can you confirm when you connect your two machines to the 3550 switch whether they are getting IP addresses from the DHCP server?

Another question, what is connected to your fa0/32 and fa0/35? Is there a switch or hub connected to these ports? I noticed that there are so many MAC addresses on the same port.

azmath.hk · ‎02-13-2007

Yes both mahcines are getting IPs from DHCP server(router)only on this switch they are not able to ping but on other series switches they are able to ping....yeh hub or another switch connected to fa0/32 and 35....

My question is why these machines are not able to ping only on this switch because both are on vlan51...on other switches vlan51 able to ping...please advice

Hi

Can you confirm which ports you are connecting your PC's into on the 3550 switch ?

port 13 and 11 on 3550 switch.... I have also enabled ip route-cache flow on this switch just for have switch thru software instead of CPU...

Try to use static IP first. Connect one pc to one access port then one pc to another access port. Connect both of it to vlan 51. If both PCs still cannot ping each other then try to configure both ports to vlan 52. See if it will work. If it is still not working then try to connect both pcs to the 2900 switch and do the same thing.

I think the ip route-cache flow has nothing to do with it since it is not traversing a router.

They are able to ping each other in vlan51 on 2900 switch...only on 3550 they are not able to ping....we tried giving static IP but no luck.....how does it make sense moving these ports in vlan52...i am just trying to understand....Is this a bug or hardware problem...please try search as i am in need for serious help

Verify your vlan 51 ports are switchports and not routed ports (show int status) . Also verify your layer 2 vlan info , do a "show vlan" and make sure vlan 51 shows active with the assigned ports in it . If they are truly all in vlan 51 then there is no reason why it shouldn't work . Are you using vtp transparent mode or client/server . Normally in transparent mode you would see the layer 2 vlan info in the config . Maybe you can post show vlan , show int status , and show vtp status .
