GNS3 3745 - No Switch Connectivity

marksargent

Level 1

Hi All,

am using GNS3, and have the 16port switching module. I have created a PC instance and connecting to f/0/0 which is a layer 3 port, I can connect via layer 3 IPs. I then reconfigured and connected the PC instance via a layer 2 port f2/0 which is part of the 16port switch module. All 16 ports are by default in vlan 1. I assigned an IP of 10.1.9.1/24 to the VLAN and gave the PC 10.1.9.2/24. I cannot ping and I cannot even ping 10.1.9.1, the VLAN 1 IP. Have I missed something? Thanks.

you definitely need to change cable

apart this i would configure the interface in this way:

int fa2/0

sw mo acc

sw acc vla 1

sh

no sh

end

!

"Operational Mode: down" worries me. Shouldn't is say "static access"? Thanks.

Mark Sargent

Hi,

yes it should and that's also why the SVI is down.Can you post your GNS3 file.

Regards.

Alain.

Do you mean the topology file for GNS3 for this lab? Thanks.

EDIT: Well, the below changes seemed to work as I can now ping 10.1.9.1 which I couldn't before. Thanks.

Change the cable? In a GNS3 lab, you're kidding, yes?

Why do I need to tell the router f2/0 is in access mode as it shows in the initial output i posted that it is. It also shows that f2/0 is assigned to vlan 1, which is default by the way...

what is,

"sh"

"no sh"

The interface shows as up already...

Thanks.

set speed and duplex - it will bring it up interface and once vlan has active interface, vlan protocol status will be up.

 

 

conf t

!

vlan {vlan id}

   name

!

int {interface #}

switchport access vlan {vlan id}

speed 100

duplex f

shut

no shut

 

this config will be at switch side.

OMG!! I had same issue where the directly connected physical interface was in up/down state.  it drove me crazy because I knew there was nothing special about the configurations but could not understand why. Vlan 10 was up/up and I had interfaces in vlan 10.


As for me, I had created a another vlan just to get away from default vlan 1. I started switching back and forth to see what works.  I changed the native vlan's but no change back and forth from vlan 10 and 1.  i checked with a known working network with real equipment and it was working there - it drove me nut coz I could not it anywhere.

 

And all I was trying to do was to create access list labs - how frustrating?

 

I then noticed that on the routed interface (router side) duplex was half / 10.  On switch is was full.  I changed the router side to full / 100 (this side resets itself when you make a change.  Did the same on  switch; no change.  I reset the interface on switch side and the interface came up/up and in trunk mode as I configured it.

 

If you are currently using Cisco 3725 IOS all I had done and solved this terrible situation is removing the second slot of NM-16ESW.

 

Then it started to ping from PC to the correctly configured Vlan switch port.

 

Hope, it will be useful !
