ping not working

[mohammal1]

hi , i have a scenario where I am trying to ping IP address 11.0.6.254 from a dell server.

on the remote host the ip address is defined like this:

ip address 11.0.6.254/24

on the dell server if I use host 11.0.6.32 as source to ping, then it works fine ... but as soon as I change it to host 11.0.6.33 the ping stops working. echo request can be seen coming on the remote node but no reply.

on the remote host:

Type    Network              Next Hop        Dist    Metric 

> C     11.0.6.0/24                                    0         0

Does your Dell server has 2 NICs?

NIC 1: 11.0.6.32/24

NIC 2: 11.0.6.33/24

Could you show a ifconfig or ipconfig output?

Show us the configuration of 11.0.6.33, not 11.0.6.250.

Double check that the subnet mask on the Dell server is 255.255.255.0.

If the subnet mask was 255.255.255.224 then you would get this problem.
