Unreachable device

Hi,

I wish somebody can help me with this.

There's a device that we don't manage that is attached to one of the switch's port (3560)

The device is not allowed to respond to ICMP.

Here's the deal...

Previously from the network, we can reach that device via telnet, http and other protocols...

Now this is the results:

router#trace 201.193.214.51

Type escape sequence to abort.
Tracing the route to 201.193.214.51

  1 201.193.188.122 4 msec 0 msec 0 msec
  2 201.193.214.51 !A  *  !A


router#ping 201.193.214.51

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 201.193.214.51, timeout is 2 seconds:
U.U.U
Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)


router#telnet 201.193.214.51 80
Trying 201.193.214.51, 80 ...
% Destination unreachable; gateway or host down

There are no ACLs in the path, no load-balancing...

The device is just connected to the switch, which connects to the router and from the router I'm getting the results above.

My question is why I'm getting !A  *  !A in the traceroute and U.U.U in the PING?

I know the host is up since I'm getting the device's IP in the ARP on the switch.

Thank you,

Federico.

Hi Federico

Did you try to connect that device on another port ?

If not , try to connect this device on another port with the same configuartion and check the port status by issuing the following command :

"show interface xxxxx"

MAM

What has changed since it worked previously ?

On the treaceroute response A means administratively prohibited, are you sure there is not some filtering on the actual device ?

Thank you Mohamed,

Unfortunately I have no physical access to the switch or the device at this moment...

But the status of the port is fine:

This is the port Gig0/13, which is the port directly connected to the 201.193.214.51 device.

From ''sh arp''

from the above output , i noted that duplex mode is Half duplex and the speed is 10Mb/s.

what about the NIC card of that device? is it 10M, 100M or 1G???

can you send me the configuration of the port gig 0/3 ?? try to use " sh run interface gig0/3 " on the switch.

MAM

I noticed that too...

Is negotiating at 10Mbps Half-Duplex even though is a Gig interface.

I just found out the device is a Cisco IAD 2400

Here's the output for that port:

interface GigabitEthernet0/13
description VoIP Downetworks
switchport access vlan 2
spanning-tree portfast
end

There has been many changes and the problem arises because the people in charge of accessing the device are no longer able to do that.

But I cannot access the device from the directly connected switch 3560.

This switch has the following:

interface Vlan2
ip address 201.193.214.15 255.255.255.128
end

interface GigabitEthernet0/13
description VoIP Downetworks
switchport access vlan 2
spanning-tree portfast
end

do sh int gig 0/13

Now,

They say that the device only works at 10Mbps.

There are no ACLs  on the switch itself.

There's nothing in between the switch and the IAD 2400 ( I even see the IP/MAC of the device on the ARP from the switch)

I'm lost :-(

Federico.

Federico

Try to reload the device and the test the connection.

MAM

Yes, that's what I want to reboot it but can't at the moment (no physical access).

Anyway, I wanted to restart it and I guess that's the only option at this point.


Federico.

Weird, I agree....have you tried bouncing the port on the switch?

Hey guys,

It turned out that there was a filter (ACL) on the IAD 2400 itself which we have no access at all and therefore could not tell.

The people in charge where sure there was no restriction on the device itself, but it turns out it was :-|

There was nothing wrong on our side.

We fixed the ACL (they have messed up with) and now everything works.

I appreciate everybodys help!

Federico.

Hate when that happens!!

Thanks for the update, glad you got it working
