Fail to ping from VTP server to a host connected to VTP Client

[iknownothing]

Hi guys, 

I have 2 3560 configured as VTP server and client, did all the trunk setup. A VLAN 102 172.100.4.254/24 created on server side.

 Now I can ping the 172.100.4.211 and 172.100.4.254 from vtp client switch

 but can't ping 172.100.4.211 from vtp server switch.

 routing is handled by a 2811 which can also ping 172.100.4.211 and 172.100.4.254. 

Any help is appreciated...

Hi,

Can you tell me how these devices are connected?

From the switch 172.100.4.254, are you able to ping other devices in this subnet? Is the problem only with 172.100.4.211

it's like this: 

2811         -  3560(vtp server )  -  3560(vtp client)   -   ESXi  

ip route        VLAN 102                                                VLAN 102 

                    172.100.4.254                                         172.100.4.211 

                    VLAN 101                                                VLAN 101 

                    172.16.70.254                                         172.16.70.201  

And I just figured out the issue, the address 4.211 belongs to network node in a openstack, should be bind to a bridge instead of interface. thanks anyway!

Hi,

Do you have checked on your trunk link if VLAN 102 is allowed or not pruned ?

[iknownothing]

nothing is pruned~ :)

Glad to know that you resolved the issue.

tricky and funny thing is, that when 4.211 is on interface it can be accessed by VTP client switch which is directly connected and the router 2811 but not the VTP server which is in between. I didn't figure out why's that yet :)
