Unable to ping one switch to another switch to a router

Leadshot

Hi all, I am very new in Cisco Packet tracer, and I am interested in IT. I've been told to use Cisco Packet tracer to create a network however, I am struggling with a problem. At times I keep getting errors and I'm not sure why. The error is "The device does not have a service that accepts this frame. It drops the frame."

I cannot manage to get my West building PC's 10-15 (switch2) to ping/send a pdu to connect to PC's 1-9, Laptops (PC's16-20). I have spent a good few hours stressing and wanting to pull out my hair cause it isn't working however my East Buildings are completely fine in terms of ping/sending a pdu within the East Building however, I cannot get my East building switch 2 to ping/send a pdu to any devices in the West Building..... I am stressing out because everything looked fine to me...

Testing123 is password for switch

L1 Is West Building

PCs default gateway should always be layer 3 device: L3 switch or router; not L2 switch;  change from 130 to 172.16.0.129

Thank you very much for your help. I thought that I had to use the default gateway that I had created hence the "172.16.0.129", your answer fixed my problem

I am trying to ping any wired device in west building to S_L2_1 but it keeps failing, have I done something wrong?

I then need to configure a SSH from any laptop in the East building to ping S_L2_1, Router 0, Router 1, S_L1_1.. I haven't setup SSH before in packet tracer, is it easy to do?
SSH configured with the following:

  • Domain: testing123.com
  • Version: 2
  • Modulus: 1024
  • Username: Admin
  • Password: Testing123




Hello,

on the switch, you are using the wrong default gateway, it needs to be:

ip default-gateway 172.16.0.65

For SSH access, you need to add the commands below (in the file attached, I have added SSH to the S_L2_1 switch, it works the same on the other devives). The password will be visible in the configuration in clear text, if you do not want that, configure 'service password-encryption' globally on the devices:

S_E_1#conf t
S_E_1(config)#ip domain-name testing123.com
S_E_1(config)#username Admin privilege 15 password 0 Testing123
S_E_1(config)#crypto key generate rsa general-keys modulus 1024 ?
S_E_1(config)#crypto key generate rsa general-keys modulus 1024
S_E_1(config)#ip ssh version 2
S_E_1(config)#line vty 0 4
S_E_1(config-line)#transport input ssh
