Cisco 1801 - Ping - Request Timed Out

offpister
Level 1
Level 1

Hello everyone,

I have a Cisco 1801 Router, but whenever there is anything plugged into the integrated 8 port switch for example two computers, I cannot get them to ping each other. All of the ports are on the same vLAN.

I am a Cisco newbie, so sorry if this question/query is really basic. Is there anyway I can test the integrated switch to see if it is faulty - what is the likelihood of this happening???

Any suggestions/solutions welcome.

Thanks

Jonathan Worth.

That seems to indicate a faulty unit.

If you don't have a support contract to have it replace by Cisco, it's not expensive to buy one.

Begin disabling firewall on the PCs.

Hi,

I have done this. I can also ping the computers when they are connected to an unmanaged switch. I am using the switch part of the router out of box without any configuration - is this possible?

If not, please can you advise me on what configuration I need to do to get this working.

If I configure the FE0 port of the router with an IP address I can ping this, it is only when I have connected two computers to the switch interfaces that I cannot ping.

It also seems intermittent - I can get two pings sometimes and then nothing and then maybe one another time.

Thanks,

Jonathan.

You may need to configure a BVI (Bridged Virtual interface) to get those switch ports onto the same broadcast domain as the FE0 port.

Add a sho run and show vlan and we can take a look

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. Here is the show run output:

I do not want/need to use the FE0 port. I want to use the FE1-FE8 as my internal switch and the ADSLoPOTS connection for a PPPoA ADSL broadband connection.

Thanks.

To begin with add spanning-tree portfast under interface range fa1 - 8.

The connected PCs must be able to ping each other and the router.

Then there is a bunch of config needed for a good job, my recommendation would be get someone knowledgeable and avoid loosing time yourself with it.

Hi,

Thanks for the replies. Would it be safe to assume that the integrated switch is working ok and that I can expect this because I need to do some more configuration?

I also have the switch uplinked to an unmanaged switch. Would this be ok or is this that is causing the ping problems?

Also, as this is just a test/lab setup I just want to be able to successfully ping two devices that are connected to the network and know that the switch is functioning correctly before I expand and configure other things on the router.

I am currently at work at the minute, but will let you know later if "spanning-tree portfast" does anything.

Below is the output from Pinging a PC that is connected directly to the Cisco Router - Switch interface (FE2) from a PC that goes through the unmanaged switch that is connected to the Cisco Router - Switch interface (FE1):

Thanks again for all your help

Hi,

Could you get rid of this unmanaged switch and try with the 2 machines connected to 2 ports on the switch module of the router.

Regards.

Alain.

Don't forget to rate helpful posts.

Hello,

I have set one of the PCs to:

IP: 192.168.2.32

Subnet: 255.255.255.0

The other PC:

IP: 192.168.2.34

Subnet: 255.255.255.0

No uplink/connection to any other switch.

I cannot ping each PC from the other PC - Request Timed Out. Is this a hardware/physical problem with the switch.

Thanks.

Jonathan Worth

So now without the unmanaged switch no pings are working anymore?

Regards.

Alain.

Hi.

No they are still intermittent. Do I have to set a Default Gateway for this to work and if so what do I use. I was thinking on using the IP address of vLAN1 (192.168.2.2). Is that right?

There seems to be network traffic - the lights on the front are blinking every couple of seconds.

The ARP Cache on the router lists the following:

192.168.2.2 (vLAN1)

192.168.2.32 (PC1)

192.168.2.35 (PC2)

The ARP Cache on PC1:

192.168.2.35 (PC2)

The ARP Cache on PC2:

192.168.2.2 (vLAN1)

192.168.2.32 (PC1)

I don't know what to do anymore!!! I really just want to find out if the switch on the router is faulty or not.

Thanks.

Jonathan.

Take "show interface" for the relevant interfaces.

Do "term mon" and check for any message while stuff happens.

Too many output errors, try updating IOS in the hope it's just some nasty bug.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Is there a particular verison of IOS that you would recommend me try?

Thanks

Jonathan.
