Unable to ping my switches and routers for SSH

[Student HoGent]

I am new to cisco, and I got a project for school. I have to make a small office.
I got a couple of problems that I would like to solve.

1. I gave my switches and routers a IP on

VLAN 1

but I can only ping one switch

(L3-SW-01)

All the rest i can't ping.
2. I have also to do SSH on my switches and routers. But only my IT department has to do it. And this is in VLAN 60.

All the passwords on the switches and routers are: robbie

Here is the network file.

Thanks in advance.

 Hi

 I will show you what is one of your problem and you try to fix it. 

You have no communication between your distributions switch. That because the Port-channel between them was blocked by

spanning-tree

That´s why you can ping one switch but not the other from the PC IT

If you look at the switch  SW-05, it is the root for the

 Vlan1

As root, both its ports remain UP and then, the Distribution has not option but shutdown Port-channel 1. 

 To fix this, you need that the Distribution and not the access be the Root for

vlan 1

Do some research in how do you change the root bridge for one vlan. 

Let me know once you get this fixed and we can see what else is wrong. 

SW-05#sh spanning-tree vlan 1

VLAN0001

Spanning tree enabled protocol ieee

Root ID Priority 32769

Address 0001.C78C.5CCB

This bridge is the root

Thx for the fast response.

I fix the problem in the spanning tree. Now

 L3-SW-01

is the root for

VLAN 1

[Flavio Miranda]

Good job

 Can you ping now? I will look the file later

[Student HoGent]

No I can't ping at the switches at all. I only can ping the L3 switches.

[Flavio Miranda]

Are You trying to piing from the Access switch? Does the switch have IP address and

default-gateway

?

[Student HoGent]

I have tried pinging from the PC and from the acces switches. All the switches/routers have a IP address, I forgot the

default gateway

I just set the

default gateway

up for all the switches and routers.

But I see now that on the Acces Switches

VLAN 1

up is but the line protocol is down. And this is not in the case with my L3 Switches. But I don't know how to set this to up.

[Flavio Miranda]

Ok. The interface between access switch and distribution is in trunk? If has to be.

Both sides

Thid is probably the problem now. 

[Student HoGent]

Yes, between my switches and distribution are in trunk, bc I use multiple VLANs in my network.

[Flavio Miranda]

Then

vlan 1

should be up up.

I will take a look on the file, must be something simple. Give me 5 minutes.

 Attach your lastest file here please

[Student HoGent]

Here is the latest file

[Flavio Miranda]

Hi

 You need to do two things. Add the

 vlan 1

on the trunk everywhere and then no shut on the

 vlan 1

This file I am attaching the PC IT is pinging the access switches

[Student HoGent]

Thx, but I can't ping

SW-01 and SW-02

and the CORE routers. All the rest I can ping and SSH in. 

[Flavio Miranda]

Sw01 and sw02

you need to add the

vlan1

in all trunk and after  that,

Int vlan 1

 No shut

You did this?

[Student HoGent]

Yes I did that to

SW-01 and SW-02

but still can't ping
