Can't Telnet / Ping into the Switch

RWalia418

Level 1

Hello Guys!

I have a Cisco 2960-S Switch, It is connected to a jack in the building to check the settings, Interface VLAN 1 has an ip, there is a default gateway, Any host connected to switch can access the network resources. But the problem is that I have to use Serial Cable to configure it. I cant ping or telnet into it from any other device. PC's are on different subnets/VLANS.

Basically this switch is connected to a port in a different switch, Do i have to make a trunk?

What should I do and check?

Thanks and Regards!

What vlan(s) are the PCs in ?

are the PCs you are pinging from connected to the 2960-S switch or other switches

which switch is responsible for routing between vlans ?

Basically if the link is not a trunk then all devices would need to be in vlan 1. If you want to connect devices to the 2960-S which are in multiple vlans then yes the connection should be a trunk between the 2 switches.

Note this is assuming that you are using a different switch for inter-vlan routing ? - presumably the switch that has the default-gateway ip address for vlan 1 that you set on the 2960-S.

PCs are Phones are in VLAN 200 and 300. I have add those VLANS on every interface.

The PCs are connected to a different switch

We have a stack and that stack does the inter-vlan routing.

To configure switchport mode trunk does both interfaces on both switches needs to be configured or only one

interface.

Do we also need switchport trunk native vlan for the encapsulation?

Thanks!

Hi Ramit,

To configure switchport mode trunk does both interfaces on both switches needs to be configured or only one

interface.

Basically you just need one interface to be configured either as trunk (switchport mode trunk) or as dynamic desirable (switchport mode dynamic desirable). The other end just needs to have DTP enabled in any of the modes (dynamic auto, dynamic desirable, trunk).

Do we also need switchport trunk native vlan for the encapsulation?

No you don't need to care about that if you haven't changed native vlan on one end. But bear in mind that both sides of the trunk have to have same native vlan configured, otherwise cdp will inform you about this inconsistency and trunk won't be formed (it is called native-vlan mismatch). If you haven't done anything with that, native vlan is vlan 1 on both ends and everything should work just fine.

Best regards,

Jan

HI Ramit,

where did you connect your
PC? here there is no port with VLAN 1 assigned (except 48-52 that looks like not used at all) ...

Try this:

enable

conf t

user admin priv 15 secret mypassword

line vty 0 4

login local

exit

!

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/48

sw mo acc

sw acc vlan 1

no sh

end

!

wr

!

Connect here your laptop and try again. By the way is a best practise to set a trunk between switches and then to prune the vlan through the allowed vlan list

Alessio

@allesio:

All of our PCs and Phones must be in VLAN 200 and 300. I connected the PC on port 43. The port which has VLAN 200 and 300 on it.

DHCP gives PC's the ip in the range of 10.210.198.xx
and all of our switches are in the range of 10.210.196.xx

I can ping any other switch and telnet into it from any PC, but this switch I can't ping or telnet into it. Is it because there is no trunk?

Thanks and Regards!

Very likely!!!

Chck also that the native vlan does NOT mismatch once you set up the trunk.

Take Care

Alessio
