I am connecting to gig port 1/0/23
which is on vlan 212
The IP address for that vlan is 172.20.212.4 255.255.255.0
The IP i'm assigning the host is 172.20.212.101 255.255.255.0
The default gateway configured on the switch itself is 172.20.210.1
I configured the host with the same default gateway as the switch
However I am unable to ping the host from the switch
I can however ping the vlan interface (212.4) but no other vlan interfaces
or even the default gateway from the host
I do show packets input/out on the gig port..and no errors...port is set for auto
The host IP (.101)is showing up in the ARP table of the switch
Should my default gateway be something else??

Yes it should be different. The default gateway of the PC should point at the IP address of the VLAN interface of the switch for that VLAN. So if the VLAN interface is 172.20.212.4 then that should be the default gateway configured on the PC.

my office pc is set for vlan 1.
The ip address for the pc 192.168.1.41
the vlan ip is 192.168.1.191
no other vlans are configured.
however, i am getting a default gateway that is the same default gateway configured in the switch.
191.168.1.252
seems odd?
shouldnt i be getting the vlan int. as a gateway?

I believe that this is very closely related to another other question that you posted in the forum and to which I have given an answer. So let me make a couple of quick points and refer to that answer for other details.
You do not indicate in this post whether the switch your PC is connected to is a layer 2 or a layer 3 switch, but based on the context (and on a comment in your other question) I would assume that the switch to which your PC connects is a layer 2 switch. If the switch is a layer 2 switch then the default gateway of the PC can not point to the switch interface address as its default gateway.
The default gateway of a PC must be an address on a layer 3 device (capable of IP forwarding), and must satisfy 2 conditions:
- it must be in the subnet of the host (determined by the address and subnet mask of the host)
- it must be in the VLAN (broadcast domain) of the host.
So I am assuming that the PC in your office is connected to a layer 2 switch and its default gateway is a router interface address (which is also the default gateway of the layer 2 switch).

Yes, My pc is connected to a cat. 2950, which I assume only has layer 2 capabilities?
However, the site with vlan ip interfaces configured is a 3750. Which I assume has layer 3 capapbilites? But it does not have
routing enabled. From my understanding
you would have to enable routing on a L3 switch to have intervlan routing. Only
a default gateway is conf. See below
3750switch##sh ip route
Default gateway is 172.20.210.1
Host Gateway Last Use Total Uses Interface
ICMP redirect cache is empty

here is my config for the 3750 switch-
it doesnt look like routing is enabled-
so what should the servers that are connected have as the default gateway if routing isnt enabled on the switch?
here is the coplete config-it is stacked-i edited some gig interface info for space-notice gig 2/0/52

From the fact that it appears to have 2 layer 3 interfaces configured with IP addresses (or 3 interfaces if you count the one that is shutdown) I would assume that IP routing is enabled.
As far as what the servers should have configured as their default gateway I believe that servers in VLAN 210 have a choice. They could use 172.20.210.4 which is the switch interface and should work. Or I believe that they could also use 172.20.210.1 which is in the same subnet and I would presume in the same VLAN.
For servers in VLAN 212 I would believe that they should use 172.20.212.4.

Hi Rick
I tried 212.4 gateway and a 212.1 gateway for a server in the 212 vlan.
Only when the server was configured with the 212.1 gateway was I able to ping the device
from remote router. As i see no ip routing
command on the 3750. Can I assume that
this is only performing a l2 function?
and if so-is the vlan ip needed since it looks to be router on a stick?

To help figure out this situation would you post the output of show ip route from the switch?

Hi Rick-
Hi Rick-
here is the ouput
3750switch##sh ip route
Default gateway is 172.20.210.1
Host Gateway Last Use Total Uses Interface
ICMP redirect cache is empty

Thanks for posting the additional information. It does indicate that routing is not enabled (based particularly on the fact that there are no connected interfaces in the routing table). If routing is not enabled then the server default gateway needs to be the router interface that is connected in its VLAN.

than you rick-
you have helped me alot.
so basiclly the vlan ip's on this switch
are not needed except for perhaps logging in?
01-18-2008 02:24 PM
Richard
Yes for this situation the VLAN IPs are for logging in or other management purposes. They do not play any part in forwarding user traffic.
