Can't ping the default gateway

[mightyking]

Hi Guys,

This would probably sound like a stupid question but it took at least 2 hours of my time so far. I have a 3750 switch where a router and a server is connected. From the switch I can ping the router and server with no issue (directely connected). But from the server I am not able to ping the router. The router and the server are in the same subnet. The router is configured as the default router for the server. I am not able to ping the server from the router either. Here's the output of the ip route from the router. The server IP address is 10.1.200.21 and the router IP address is 10.10.200.1

     10.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 8 subnets, 3 masks

C       10.1.30.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0.30

C       10.1.20.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0.20

C       10.10.33.0/25 is directly connected, Serial0/2/0.1

C       10.10.32.1/32 is directly connected, Loopback0

O       10.10.32.2/32 [110/65] via 10.10.33.2, 02:33:32, Serial0/2/0.1

O       10.10.32.3/32 [110/65] via 10.10.33.130, 02:33:32, Serial0/2/0.2

C       10.10.33.128/25 is directly connected, Serial0/2/0.2

C       10.1.200.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0.1

Could you please let me know what am I missing.

Thanks,

MK

Sorry the router IP address is 10.1.200.1

Are you tagging traffic from fa0/0.1? Can you post the config of that interface? My first thought is to try to tag the traffic with your native vlan since you made a subinterface out of it.

int fa0/0.1

encapsulation dot1q native

The router does not have a route back to the server.

You can try to test ping 10.1.200.1 source FastEthernet0/0.1, if it fails this is the issue.

The switch and the server are on 10.1.200.0/24 ?

[mightyking]

The server is directely connected to the switch port fastethernet 1/0/1 and there's a trunk from the switch to the router port fastethernet 1/0/24. And the test ping fails:

If this is the Hq_Rtr routing table :

     10.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 8 subnets, 3 masks

C       10.1.30.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0.30

C       10.1.200.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0.1

You miss a route to 10.2.200.0/24 toward the 3750

If I understood well   :

(router) ----- 10.1.200.0----------------(3750) ------ 10.2.200.0 ----- server

Can you post the config of the 2 switch ports and the 1 router interface?

[mightyking]

Dan,

Where did you get the 10.2.200.0 subnet?

Here's the config for the port (trunk) going from 3750 to the HQ RTR:

interface FastEthernet1/0/24

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20,30,100,102,202

switchport mode trunk

duplex full

speed 100

interface FastEthernet0/0.1

He got it from your ping result

I believe your problem is that you're not allowing vlan 1 over the trunk. Allow that and you should be good....

John

[colin.farley]

Yup looks like missing vlan on trunk, assuming the server is on vlan 1:

conf t

interface FastEthernet1/0/24

switchport trunk allowed vlan add 1

[mightyking]

Thanks John,

That was the issue. After allowing Vlan 1 over the trunk everything started working. Your help is very much appreciated.

Thanks Colin, you were very helpful.

I have got another question for you guys.

There's a router at the remotre site which is not able to ping the server either. Do I need a static route stating

ip route 10.1.200.0 255.255.255.0 Ser 0/2/0.1 ?
