Static routing problem

AlenBejtic

Level 1

Hello all,

I am doing a school project that requires me to do certain tasks in a network topology. Below I will list all the bullet points I think I have done right, and the ones I have trouble finishing up. If anyone has any advice, or thinks something could have been done better, feel free to point it out.

Tasks : ● Configure switches so end devices are in specific VLANs as marked on picture of network topology. 
● For IP addressing of end devices and router interfaces/subinterfaces use private IP addresses from Class B of your choice.
● For VLAN 101 DHCP server should be configured to assign IP addresses to end devices.
● In all other VLANs use static IP addressing.
● Configure access point with WEP encryption.
● Configure DNS server so it resolves name proj2-mail.test.com to IP address of Mail server.

● Configure Mail server with multiple users (one for each end device).

● Configure routers with static routes so all devices can send traffic to each other.
● Mail server should be accessible from all end devices using DNS name and end devices should be able to send emails to each other using this Mail server.

The smaller font is done, and I have problems with last two. To be more specific, I have set up default gateways on each end device, and configured static routing on each router but I cannot send packets from and to devices in diffrent vlans, I cannot understand why.
Another problem, I have set up my mailing server, with a email domain, users and everything. The problem occurs when I try to send and email from one device to another, I always get an error pop up "Connection timeout".

File is zipped below. 
Thank you all in advance.

Hello @AlenBejtic 

Fisrt Gareway of that PC is not good:

Gateway and IP address of that host should be on the same subnet. Same thing on your email server:

Use the simulation mode and test an icmp between 2 PC. See where the packet is drop and debug on the equipement.

Also use

tracert

command on PC/Laptop in order to help you to debug that routing issue.

Also, All endpoint on VLAN 101 should have the same Gateway! It is not the case, come have 172.16.10.1 and others 172.16.10.2. DHCP server give that Gw 172.16.10.2...... It should be 172.16.10.1 ; IP hosted on a L3 euipement (router1).

Please reconsider all IP addresses on your topology ; host IP and interconnection IP plan.
