Hi Cisco Community,
I would appreciate some troubleshooting or advice. For reference, please check my simple network map attached to this post.
The Problem: I cannot ping my DHCP Server / Router (192.168.10.1) through the client PC even when manually assigning an IP address to the client. I have tried to ping the router (192.168.10.1 AND 192.168.1.1) via the CLI of the switch and it worked perfectly. There must be some forwarding issue happening in my switch config.
EDIT: Fixed. For anyone else with an almost-perfect connection setup: Definitely make sure that you test on multiple END-DEVICES because very old or misconfigured ethernet drivers can actually be the cause of the issue.
