cannot ping local interfaces

JoeMcHale
Level 1
Level 1

I inherited a network with a 3640 router. I created a console session to check the router configuration. The serial and Ethernet interfaces are up and up. However when I try to ping the interface I get a destination unreachable (u.u.u) response. I am able to ping out of the network on the WAN side. There is no ACL that prohibits my pinging the interfaces from within the router. What am I overlooking. Thanks for any help

Is your WAN interface a multipoint Frame Relay interface? Not being able to ping the local interface is a common symptom on multipoint Frame Relay unless you manually configure a Frame Relay map for the local interface.

Perhaps some configuration details about the router would help us figure this out.

Thanks for the quick reply. It is a basic system one multilink WAN port and one fastethernet LAN port. I am enclosing a sanitized copy of the config file. The only ethernet port not shutdown is Fastether 0/0. I left the entire config most of it is trash that I have not cleaned out until I understand what is happening.

Thsi has me stumped.

Thanks for posting the additional information. Clearly the issue is not a Frame Relay mapping issue as I had wondered about.

My guess at this point is that the issue is the Network Address Translation that is configured. In particular I think that the access list with permit any may be causing the problem. I suggest that you rewrite the access list to avoid using any and specify the source addresses that you want to translate.

I wonder if what is happening is that when you attempt to ping the local interface the ping is sent out the multilink interface and since any source address matches the access list it is attempting to translate the address - to itself. Configure the access list so that sources addresses from any LAN interface (or any subnet that may be connected to any LAN interface) is translated but that the serial address is not translated.

Rick;

Thanks, I discounted the Access List since it was not directed at the interfaces I was concerned with. The ACL is not needed I will delete and see what happens

Have you checked routing table of router?

Please post the sh ip route output.

Also kindly mention to which interface you are pinging , ethernet or serial
