Unable to ping or traceroute from LAN Core Switch to WAN router

josephn · ‎04-01-2008

Hi,

I'm having a problem trying to ping from LAN core switch to the router. What could be the possible causes ?

HI Joseph, [Pls Rate if HELPS]

>> Confirm whether you LAN Traffic can reach the destination via Router

>> Trace to the Router and check whether the trace completed

>> See in Router whether any ICMP Block has been configured for the LAN Switch IP Segments

Regards,

Kind of hard to assist without knowing how you are connected.

Is the switch directly connected to the router?

Is the interface us?

Are you trunking between the Router and Switch?

Do you have the correct encapsulation between the two?

What is the set-up and what is desired?

Hi,

There are Riverbed and Packet Shaper in between the switch and router. From the PS, I can ping and trace route to both the switch and router. So, the logical connection is something like below:

LAN Core SW ->Riverbed -> Packet Shaper -> Router

Type escape sequence to abort.
