Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX Series PD VLAN Setup not working

bob0198labops
Level 1
Level 1

Goal: Create 2 VLANs on a switch (for now, will expand to 4 - have 8 ports on the switch) for a test lab, not for production. Connect devices on these ports (direct connection) and #1. verify ping to VLAN IP, and other devices, and #2. verify ability to talk between devices on the same VLAN, and #3. verify ability to talk between devices on different VLANs. This switch will never connect to a router for Internet access, it will only act as a L3 Switch for a relatively small network 

Device Info: Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX Series PD Cisco IOS Software Version 15.2(4)E8
show version
License level: ipbase
License Type: Default. No Valid License found

What has been done so far on this switch:

enable
config terminal
hostname no_internet_switch
vlan 10
interface Gi0/1 (and Gi0/2)
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 10
interface vlan 10
ip address 192.168.10.1 subnet mask 255.255.255.0

<< Repeated the same seps for VLAN 20, with Gi0/3 and Gi0/4) >>

ip routing

show vlan
1   default                    active     Gi0/3, Gi0/4, Gi0/5, Gi0/6, Gi0/7, Gi0/8
10  vlan1                     active     Gi0/1, Gi0/2
20  vlan2                     active     Gi0/3, Gi0/4

show ip route
Gateway of last resort is not set
192.168.10.0/24 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks
C   192.168.10.0/24 is directly connected, Vlan 10
L   192.168.10.1/32 is directly connected, Vlan 10
C   192.168.20.0/24 is directly connected, Vlan 20
L   192.168.20.1/32 is directly connected, Vlan 20

show ip interface brief
Vlan1                        unassigned         Yes   unset      up                     down
Vlan10                      192.168.10.1      Yes   unset      up                     down
Vlan20                      192.168.20.1     Yes   unset      up                     down

Here is the problem:

When I got the switch, did not check everything, set this up, same VLAN ping worked. Inter VLAN  communications did not work. During the course of debugging, did a factory reset and now nothing works. Can someone please point out whats going on ? I am fairly new to this area, and have seen lots of questions like this here, but none where there is a requirement to not have a Router. I have the Vlan IPs as the default gateway on the Linux devices I have connected on the switch. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

    My bad for port Gi0/4, since port was DOWN, it's normal there's no STP state for it, so ignore. It's 100% working config on switch, issue is on hosts side, as you already confirmed for one of the hosts; fix the hosts NIC settings and as long as hosts are assigned IP addresses from correct subnet and with correct gateway (what you configured on the switch), you'll be 100% functional.

Best,

Cristian.

@Cristian Matei I am happy to report that after making some changes on the Linux hosts, everything is working 

@MHM Cisco World @Flavio Miranda  Thanks for your help !!

If you have FW in PC then PC can only ping to any IP in same subnet.

You need to disable PC FW and also make sure ""ip routing"" is enable run in SW.

MHM

there is no firewall on the linux hosts, but there were some bridges setup and would have been expecting tagged traffic. And IP Routing has been enabled in the Switch all along. Thank You ! My hosts are linux based not windows - making this a bit difficult to debug.
