[Help] Ping on two PC's with Cisco ME 3400 series

Hello everyone!

I won an switch Cisco ME 3400 series for use in my little company, I began to search more about how to configure it. To test it, i plugged two PCs on it and i try to ping these PCs. The PCs have the IPs 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.3, respectively. But, when i do the command ping on Windows, the PCs do not communicate.

People, where i going wrong? I made this scene on Packet Tracer with Catalyst 2960 and worked it properly. On the real switch (ME 3400), I made the configuration described on the official manual, in the appendix D: "Configuring thw switch with CLI-Based setup program" , link here.

Anyone can help me? Thanks in advance!

Follows the startup-config of switch:

Hi

It is strange that the ports are down with the pcs connected. but you need to configure the port type as uni for ping to work. i always have the same problem when i get a hold of a ME switch.

You have connected the computers in the two gbit port right?

My apologies, i sent my config without the rj45 cables plugged on. Follows the command "show ip interface brief" again:

MySw>show ip interface brief
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
Vlan1 10.0.0.1 YES NVRAM up up

FastEthernet0/20 unassigned YES unset down down
FastEthernet0/21 unassigned YES unset down down
FastEthernet0/22 unassigned YES unset down down
FastEthernet0/23 unassigned YES unset down down
FastEthernet0/24 unassigned YES unset down down
GigabitEthernet0/1 unassigned YES unset down down
GigabitEthernet0/2 unassigned YES unset down down

As you suggested me, i changed the port-type to uni, using these commands:

MySw#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
MySw(config)#interface range fastEthernet 0/1-24
MySw(config-if-range)#port-type uni
MySw(config-if-range)#

But still I can not ping the two PCs.

When i show the running-config, the unicast port does not appear. See:

interface FastEthernet0/1
!
interface FastEthernet0/2
!
interface FastEthernet0/3
!

...

I saved these configs on startup-config, but he is really saved?

Thanks for the reply!

The UNI configuration is default on the FE ports.

Try connecting the computer directly with a crossover cable to see if that works? 

What output does you show VLAN brief command give?

Thank you very much for the help buddy!

I got it ping the PCs following approximately your logic, i've change the first four FE ports to NNI-type, instead of UNI. Ok, i have to plug at least one PC on NNI port, but it already serves for my purposes.

Follows the commands for those who need:

Press RETURN to get started!

MySW#ena

MySW#conf t

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

MySW(config)#interface range gigabitEthernet 0/1-2

MySW(config-if-range)#port type uni

MySW(config-if-range)#

MySW#

%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console

MySW#ena

MySW#conf t

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

MySW(config)#int range fastEthernet 0/1-4

MySW(config-if-range)#port-type nni

MySW(config-if-range)#

MySW#

%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console

wr

Building configuration...

[OK]
