Destination Host Unreachable

[Ezekielthewatchman]

So I've set up a small lab in GNS3, and I don't know why I can't ping to my default gateway as I've seem to keep getting destination host unreachable. I've narrowed down the problem to the switch I'm using, because without the switch I know I can ping the default gateway just fine. I can also ping from the router to the Switch just fine. The host is 10.0.4.2/28 with a default gateway of 10.0.4.1 running Windows 10 Education edition, and is on VMnet3. Everything in the diagram is running on VMxnet3.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

The supported switch in GNS3 is a generic switch. However, try to hard code the speed/duplex on all active interfaces. I hope this helps. Good luck!

[Ezekielthewatchman]

Well It's on auto neg, so it should be fine right? Also in GNS3 they added templates for these VIRL appliances so I'm assuming they are supported. Thanks for the reply though.

[Austin Sabio]

I guess I missed that VIRL and GNS3. I still recommend to hard code these ports and see how it goes. 

[Ezekielthewatchman]

I hard coded the ports to full duplex, and still no luck. 

[Austin Sabio]

And hard code the speed please.

[Ezekielthewatchman]

I'll do this when I get home.

[Richard Burts]

I have looked at the posted configs and they seem reasonable. I do not see an obvious problem with either config that would produce these symptoms.

I note in the screenshot of the attempted ping that the error message is coming from 10.0.4.2. This makes me wonder if it is perhaps an issue with the host. Or perhaps with the connection of the host to the switch.

Here are a few things that you might do in terms of troubleshooting on the devices:

- on the switch do show interface status. check on the status of the port connecting the host. also check the status of the interface connecting to the router.

- on the router do show ip interface brief. check the state of the connection to the switch.

- on the router do a show arp. look to see if the switch IP address and the host IP address are in the table.

[Jon Marshall]

There is no sign of the host's mac address on the router. Can you ping 10.0.4.3 from the host ?

Jon

[Ezekielthewatchman]

I cannot. 

[Jon Marshall]

Okay so I assume all ports by default are in vlan 1 on the switch ie. can you just check with "sh vlan brief".

If so then when you ping what do the arp tables on both devices look like ?

Jon

[Richard Burts]

Can you post a screen shot of a display of the arp table from the PC? Maybe also the output of route print

HTH

Rick

[Ezekielthewatchman]

Thanks for the quick replies. Here is the arp table, and route print.

[Richard Burts]

Thank you for the additional information. The route print looks normal. I am surprised that the arp -a does not see any other device on the subnet. I am convinced that is why your attempts to ping are getting error messages from 10.0.4.2. It is not able to successfully arp for any other device. I believe that there is some problem with the connection of PC to switch. But I am not sure what that problem is. Is there possibly some VM issue?
