no connection to hosts on either side of WAN

mmulhearn

Level 1

I have configured two 3620 routers with a serial connection. I can ping each router from the other router. I can ping local devices on the local networks but cannot ping to a device across the WAN connection.

Any suggestions?

Check if you have proper routing protocol or static routes configured to route between the sites. Also check the default gateway on the hosts. The test that you did is not enough to prove that your configuration is correct. Or paste the configs in your next reply for more analysis.

When you perform ping tests in scenarios like this, you should start from one end of the network (that is from a host) and then move outward.

Hope that helps!

Below are the configs. The default gateway is correct. I can ping the serial interface of local router but not the serial interface on other side of wan.

Hi,

kindly remove the auto summarization of eigrp..using "no auto-summary" command in both the routers and revert back.

I've now done this - What do you mean by revert back because I'm still having no success. I've attached the sh ip route and sh ip eigrp topology:

routerB#

Kindly clarify ur earlier meassge" I can ping the serial interface of local router but not the serial interface on other side of wan."

Does this mean u are trying to ping from local host pc or router??

if its router then try to shutd and no shutd the serial interface at both ends of router and if its from Lan pc then try to shutd and no shutd all the fastethernet ports of both the routers.

I mean to say its better to restart the router at both end and then check.

Hoping for the best..

Amit

I've restarted both routers but still have the same problem.

If I telnet to the router I can ping any device on either side. However from a command prompt from the pc I can only ping devices on the local network.

be careful about the defaultgateway settings on your PCs at both sides of the WAN

The default gateway is the fastethernet address of the router.

try to ping(extended) the hosts of either side from router using source ip of the router fasethernet port.In ur case one router is connected to three vlans so u can use three ips one by one and perform the ping test. And the same thing u can do that or other router which is connected to one vlan only.

If u are succesful doing this then telnet to switch and try to ping hosts of either sides from switch and check if its happening.

If from switches on eiher side of the wan u are not able to ping the hosts of either side, then pls check the switch config.Are u using any layer 3 switch or layer 2 switch??

when I telnet to switch I can ping devices on local network, fastethernet int of router but not serial int of router

Hi,

Ur trunk port of the switch should be the part of all the three vlans u have configured. Pls do it and tell us the result.

Amit

Hi Amit

Is this done by the switchport trunk allowed vlan all?

If not how is this done?

thanks

Michael

Hi michael,

sorry,u don't need to do anything on trunk port since by default it allows all the vlans.The problem lies somewhere else in LAN only...need to think over..will get back to u soon.

Hi Amit

I have removed ip routing cmd on switch can now ping fastethernet int of router on other side of wan however cannot ping beyond.
