can't ping between hosts on same subnet and vlan

[dhbastion]

I can ping from the switch CLI to both IP addresses, but can't ping from one attached host to the other.

The host I am trying to ping has a reserved DHCP address of 192.168.10.3/24.

The host I am trying to ping from has a DHCP address from the same subnet 192.168.10.x/24.

The mac address for the host at 192.168.10.3 does not show up in the arp table of the host I am trying to ping from, but does show up in the arp table of the switch.

Hi dhbastion,

There is a few possibilities but looks like some related to your settings to reserve address. perhabs the host with 192.168.10.3 has static IP address fixed on the host settings?

Can you shared your sw config?

Need the "ip routing" command, maybe ?

[dhbastion]

That command is not available for my software load. I have found that no host can ping any host that isn't accessing through the same port except the nni port on f0/24

[pwwiddicombe]

What version/feature set are on the switch ?

sh ver

sh ip ro

Also, you have switchport mode trunk on most of the ports - normally it should be switchport mode access for workstations, servers, printers...  Trunk is used generally to link to another switch.

sh ip ro is not an available command

I think I may have found the problem though... UNI ports (which access ports are by default) can not talk to eachother. NNI ports evidently can from what I've read, but my software image only supports a maximum of 4 NNI ports.
