This is probably CCNA 101, though I don't remember it on the exam = )
Host 1 can ping Host 3
Host 1 can not ping Host 2, nor can Host 2 ping Host 1
I need Host 1 and Host 2 to be able to ping each other (and communicate otherwise)
Switch 1 Switch 2
Port 1 assigned VLAN 2 Port 1 assigned VLAN 2
Host 1 attached to Port 1 Host 2 attached to Port 1
Port 2 assigned VLAN 2
Host 3 attached to Port 3
Port 48 Trunk Allows VLAN 2 <-------------------------------------------------------------> Port 48 Trunk Allows VLAN 2
Trunk native 999 Trunk native 999
(No int vlan 2 command) (No int vlan 2 command)
If I do the following, Host 1 can now ping Host 2, and vice versa:
Trunk Allows VLAN 2 <-------------------------------------------------------------> Trunk Allows VLAN 2
Trunk native 2 Trunk native 2
int vlan 2 int vlan 2
ip address 192.168.2.22 255.255.255.0 ip address 192.168.2.24 255.255.255.0
I've attached the configs of switch 1 and switch 2, which might make more sense then what I have above.
I need a little help understanding why these changes would allow hosts to ping across the trunk. If I remove one or the other commands, pinging does not work. Also, Is there a better way for me to accomplish what I need to do?
One thing that might make this more complicated is that host 1 on switch 1 is a server with a port channel configuration for NIC teaming.
Thank you
