Packet Tracer - Connection Issues

Intrepid
Level 1
Level 1

Hi everyone, i'm reletively new to packet tracer but require some help on a task i've been assigned. 

 

I cannot seem to get the server to connect to the rest of the network and the PCs will ping each other successfully but the switch and router return "destination host unreachable", the addressing table is noted on the network workbook but i cannot see why this connection is not working.

 

Any help appreciated, it may be something simple i've missed. I believe i've followed all the steps required but i've got a little lost and confused.

Hi

 Instead of picture, attache the pkt file, then, it is easy to help you. 

Hi,

 

It will not allow me to upload the pkt file

OK.

  How is the interface between Switch and router configured? Can you add here the sh run interface?

Is this helpful in answering your question?

 

Nop.

 

show run int g0/1.    If Gi0/1 were the interface between router and switch.

 

Hello,

 

you need to ZIP the .pkt file, then you can post it here...

thanks for the tip, here you go

 

Hello,

 

as for the server connectivity, you were simply using the wrong cable (cross instead of straight).

 

I have cleaned up the switch configuration as well:

 

--> deleted redundant Vlan interfaces

--> added Vlan 99 as the native Vlan (for management) to the trunk

 

On the router, I added the IP address of the native Vlan to the physical interface connected to the trunk. Attached the revised file (saved in Packet Tracer version 8.1, you need this version in order to be able to open the file).

Red notations at link between router and server means link is down; likely router interface is shutdown. go to that interface on a router and issue no shut. Router comes with all its interfaces/ports in shutdown state; only switch ports are not shutdown.
