Can't access Vlan when connected through another switch

king06aaa
Level 1
Level 1

I have several satellite offices and each office is set up as a different subnet and each has its own Vlan.

There are two offices located in the same hospital. Those offices are connected via 1 T1. The T1 is connected to a switch on subnet 10.1.60.xx on Gi0/2. The other office is connected to that switch but it has its own subnet - 10.1.85.xx and its own vlan. It is connected from Gi0/1 on the first switch via a crossover cable to Gi0/2 on the second switch.

On the port that the T1 is connected to, I have allowed both Vlans.

I have connectivity for both switches with no problems and everything seems fine in that aspect.

Here's my problem: I cannot ping, putty, telnet or Network Assistant into the second switch from my office. However, if I telnet or putty into the first switch I can then telnet from that switch into the second switch.

Any ideas?

It will probably be because the switch using 10.1.85.xx does not have a route back to your source address.

Check if the switch has a default-gateway set on it.

Can you post further details ie.

1) Config of both switches

2) The source IP address from which you are trying telnet/putty

3) It's unclear as to whether there is a router involved here. Are your switches L2 or L3 switches.

If L3 can you also post "sh ip route" from each switch.

If there is a router at the remote office can you post that config as well.

I am trying to putty from 10.1.104.xx.

I am not using a router. These are 2960 Catalyst switches. The connections terminate back to a layer three switch at the main office. I don't have a route on that switch either. That switch is the server for all of the vlans.

Can you post config of

1) both switches at remote office

2) "sh ip route" from L3 switch

3) config of L3 switch

Hi,

Does the second switch have a default route pointing towards switch one for the reply packets?

Does the first switch have IP routing enabled?

Regards

Neither switch has routing enabled.

The default gateway on the second switch is 10.1.85.1 which is the vlan.

Since the switches aren't doing any routing, it appears that the IP addresses 10.1.60.1 and 10.1.85.1 must be configured on a directly connected router, or routers. Are you able to successfully connect to the switches from the router? Is there a single router handling the routing between the two networks?

There are no routers in place. I have a layer 3 Cisco core switch. But there are no routes in it.

I can connect to switch 1 directly. I can then telnet to switch from switch 1.

Okay, so the layer 3 core switch has an interface VLAN85 (10.1.85.1) and an interface VLAN60 (10.1.60.1). From the core switch you can access both of your switches on both VLANs. Since the switches are directly connected to the core switch, you won't need any static routes.

I would suggest you verify that the interfaces between the switches are both both up and are both configured as access ports on the appropriate VLAN.

Remember that even though switch1 and switch2 are connected together, in order for there to be communication between the IP addresses on the two different VLANs, the connections to the core switch must be appropriate.
