I am sitting on switch A-

I can see switch B with a

show cdp neigh

Device ID: Switch

Entry address(es):

IP address: 172.20.111.202

Interface: GigabitEthernet2/0/18, Port ID (outgoing port): GigabitEthernet2/0/

I have trunking enabled to allow all vlans

Port Vlans allowed on trunk

But i cannot ping or telnet from switch A which is directly connected to switch B

via trunk

Just to follow up on last post.

You can either

1) have vlan 111 interface on 3120 and use default-gateway of CSS IP address in 172.20.111.x subnet

or

2) have vlan 110 interface on 3120 and use default-gateway of CSS IP address in 172.20.110.x subnet.

Need some more info -

1) what type of switches are these ?

2) Can you post "sh ip int brief" from both switches

3) do you have a L3 vlan interface for 111 on switch A ?

Jon

switch A is a stacked 3750

switch B are stacked 3120's (hp blade enclosure)

My guy in the field just told me

he could ping 172.20.111.1 from

switch B!?!?!

here is the sh ip int brief from switch A

with ip's

switch A#sh ip int br

Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol

Vlan1 unassigned YES NVRAM up up

Vlan110 172.20.110.4 YES NVRAM up up

Vlan111 unassigned YES manual up up

Im working on getting it for b

Richard

You don't have an IP address assigned to vlan 111 interface on switch A. Assign an IP address out of the 172.20.111.x subnet and set this to be the default-gateway on the 3120. So

3750

int vlan 111

ip address 172.20.111.x where x is a free IP address out of that subnet

3120

ip default-gateway 172.20.111.x where x is the IP address on 3750.

Whats weird is that I can Ping a server

that is sitting on the switch itself

but can not ping a vlain int on the switch

Ping to server

SWITCH A#ping 172.20.111.100

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 172.20.111.100, timeout is 2 seconds:

!!!!!

Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/1 ms

Ping to switch B

Switch A#ping 172.20.111.202

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 172.20.111.202, timeout is 2 seconds:

.....

Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)

Richard

Can you post info asked for and in addition can you post a "sh ip route" from both switches.

Jon

switch A # sh ip route

Default gateway is 172.20.110.1

Host Gateway Last Use Total Uses Interface

ICMP redirect cache is empty

Ill ask for the default IP route to switch B

But i dont recall configuring one..

I was under the impression the default routes are not alway necessary on switches

switch A is a stacked 3750

switch B are stacked 3120's (hp blade enclosure)

My guy in the field just told me

he could ping 172.20.111.1 from

switch B!?!?!

Ignore previous post.

What is 172.20.111.1 ?

Is the 3750 meant to be a L2 switch only ?

If so you will need to give the 3120 a L3 vlan interface in vlan 110 and not vlan 111.

Can you confirm what is the 3750 meant to be doing and where is the inter-vlan routing happening.

Jon

111.1 is actually the gateway we are using for the server.

It is actually a CSS load balancer

I do believe the 3750 is only to be acting as a L2 device.

All it has are servers hanging off of it.

This is the first switch we are connecting to one of its interfaces

Richard

If the 3750 is only L2 then you will need to give the 3120 a L3 vlan inteface in vlan 110. This doesn't mean you can't have ports and servers in vlan 111, on a L2 switch the L3 vlan interface is only used to manage the switch.

Jon

hmm...we have the server which is assigned to vlan 111 with the ip 172.20.111.100

The server itself is accessible and pingable

Richard

Okay then if you can ping 172.20.111.100 from the 3750 then what have you set the default-gateway to on the 3120 ?

And what is the default-gateway for the server 172.20.111.100 ?

Jon

Hi Jon

the default gw.for the server is 172.20.111.1

I can ping the server from the default GW

(the css load balancer)

Well it looks like i did have to assign

a vlan 110 ip interface to gain access

to the switch.

Whats weird now..is that i can ping

111.100 from Switch A

But i can not ping it from switch B...and

this is where its connected

will this be resolved if i assigned a default gw to the 3120?

I havent assigned one yet.

Richard

You need a default-gateway on switch B to ping anything outside of the subnet assigned to switch B's vlan interface.

So if you want to ping 172.20.111.100 from switch B and switch B is in the 172.20.110.x subnet then yes you will need to add a default-gateway to the 3120.

Jon

OK..

so i assigned the default gateway of the switch to the same as the server

172.20.111.1

unpingable from switch B

I changed the default gateway to the same

as switch A

172.20.110.1

and the server is pingable from switch B

Just seems odd that the server works fine

with a default gw that doesnt work on switch B..a switch it is directly connected to
