Hello All,
I am setting up a Cisco 2911 router and came across a problem with the gateway connection.
My VM can access the gateway (192.168.1.1) but the gateway fails to ping my router (192.168.1.2). The message I get is
VM-xxx>ping 192.168.1.2
PING 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2) 56(84) bytes of data.

--- 192.168.1.2 ping statistics ---
10 packets transmitted, 0 received, +6 errors, 100% packet loss, time 8999ms
, pipe 3
The router itself is able to ping the gateway, as shown below:
Router#ping 192.168.1.1
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.1.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/4 ms
Any ideas what is going on? and how to fix it?
Thank you,
Sadaf.

Hi,
Any firewall/ACL?

No Firewalls. This is a lab network and the router and the Gateway are on the same network.
When I do arp -a, this is what I get:
VM-xxxx> arp -a
ts1 (192.168.1.2) at <incomplete> on eth1
? (172.19.165.1) at 00:00:0C:07:AC:0B [ether] on eth0
But if I do arp -a on another 2911 that is connected to the gateway, I get:
? (172.19.157.1) at 00:00:0C:07:AC:0B [ether] on eth0
ts1 (192.168.1.2) at 00:B0:64:FD:51:04 [ether] on eth1
? (172.19.157.54) at B8:27:EB:36:35:EE [ether] on eth0
Now the configuration for the ts1 that is not connecting is the exact same as the second ts1 which has a working connection with gateway. The mac address is specified for both as:
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
mac-address 00b0.64fd.5104
ip address 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0
no ip route-cache
duplex auto
speed auto
no keepalive
Thank you,
Sadaf.

Hi,
It seems very awkward to ping one direction and than have an incomplete arp resolution; could you check if the mac address on the first reply is as expected?
Check also for duplicate MAC address; additionally can you send a simple deign - thant wayyou can also check The IP/MAC addresses of each device? I don't quite understand who has which ip address.

I haven't seen duplicate MAC addresses but the interface0/0 has two mac addresses assigned.
Protocol Address Age (min) Hardware Addr Type Interface
Internet 1.1.1.1 - f4cf.e268.0dd8 ARPA GigabitEthernet1/0
Internet 192.168.1.1 6 0050.56bf.22dc ARPA GigabitEthernet0/0
Internet 192.168.1.2 - 00b0.64fd.5104 ARPA GigabitEthernet0/0
But this shouldn't be an issue as I have the same setting for the 2911s that have a working connection.
I realized just now that gi0/0 is also assigned 192.168.1.1 and the failed ping is from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.2 !
VM-xxx>ping 192.168.1.2
PING 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 192.168.1.1 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
???
This just keeps getting more and more strange.

Dear Sadaf,
Sorry to say I am getting confused. First of all what do you mean by gateway?
Also can you draw a simple diagram showing what is what?
Thanks,
Madhu

I am very sorry. You got confused because my question was all confusing. In fact I was not clear about my topology which is at terrible thing. As it turns out, there is no gateway and the router interface 0/0 is assigned two ip addresses and two mac addresses. One is the 192.168.1.1 and the other is 192.168.1.2 and the VM is able to ping the .1 but the ping to .2 fails and returns the message "Destination host unreachable". My apologies for being so clueless and asking questions without setting the facts straight.
I have attached the diagram and hopefully it will clear some confusions.

Can you share the config for interface 0/0
el 07-24-2015 12:10 PM
Sure.
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
mac-address 00b0.64fd.5104
ip address 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0
no ip route-cache
duplex auto
speed auto
no keepalive
Thank you,

there is no gateway and the router interface 0/0 is assigned two ip addresses and two mac addresses. One is the 192.168.1.1 and the other is 192.168.1.2
-- where is 192.168.1.1 configured?
Madhu
el 07-24-2015 02:17 PM
Ummm..... I don't know. I only did the configuration for 192.168.1.2 but somehow it has two ip addresses as shown by the show arp command.
ts1#show arp
Protocol Address Age (min) Hardware Addr Type Interface
Internet 1.1.1.1 - f4cf.e268.0dd8 ARPA GigabitEthernet1/0
Internet 192.168.1.1 6 0050.56bf.22dc ARPA GigabitEthernet0/0
Internet 192.168.1.2 - 00b0.64fd.5104 ARPA GigabitEthernet0/0
I have no idea where this other 192.168.1.1 is configured.
I think that for some reason, the VM is unable to resolve the mac address of Gi0/0 port with ip address 192.168.1.2 because
VM-xxxx> arp -a
gives
ts1 (192.168.1.2) at <incomplete> on eth1
el 07-24-2015 05:38 PM
What is default gateway for the VM, is it 192.168.1.1?
Also what is VM ip adress.
share ipconfig from VM.
Please send me the output of
sh cdp neighbors Gi0/0 from ts1.
Also it is expected to see 2 ip address Gi0/0, it is showing that it can resolve the arp for 192.168.1.2

Did you apply any type of routing protocols inside your router ?? If not, apply static route inside your router which will be like this..
Config()#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1
wr
exit
el 07-25-2015 10:27 AM
I did apply this static route but it didn't resolve the issue. Even after this static route was in the router's config, the ping still didn't work
el 07-25-2015 02:01 PM
Could you upload router running-config please ?? it will helps a lot.
