Solved: Inter-vlan routing not working on the C3750X Layer 3 Switch. Help!!!

elom.kutsienyo · ‎09-02-2013

Hi all,

Just configured a 3750x switch as a DHCP server for some vlans and even though the ip routing is enabled, I am unable to route between vlans.

Note that the 3750x serves as a core switch that connects through trunking to 2960s accesss switches. VTP v3 is enabled, as well as VTP pruning, all SVIs configured. DHCP gives the respective SVI as gateway for the PCs. The computers connect through IP phones so the ports on the 2960S are on multi-vlan access mode.

I am wondering why I am unable to route between my vlans as I can see all subnets on respective SVIs in the routing table of the switch. I also used the default gateway comand on the 2960S switches so they are able to ping all the SVIs but the PCs on the access ports are not able to do the same and possibly exchange information with each other on different networks.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,

Igor

Have you run the debug ip icmp command on the 3750-X, as per Karsten's suggestion yesterday? Depending upon the situation, it might be best to ensure that you only send output to your log, not the command line interface. Setup the debug and then jump onto one of the clients and run a ping to an SVI on the 3750-X. If the 3750-X receives the ICMP requests, then you'll see them in the log (one for each echo request.)

Testing the other way can be done by running wireshark on a client. Then jump onto the 3750-X and source a Ping from another network (either the VLAN ID or SVI IP address): -

ping x.x.x.x source vlan xx

ping x.x.x.x source x.x.x.x

I would also connect a client machine directly to the switch, in case the problem is related to the IP phones. Amend the switchport config accordingly.

Can you reach the default-gateway address from the PCs?

If not, are all needed VLANs allowed on the trunk? Are the VLANs really availabe on the Access-switch (or is VTP really working)?

Thanks for your answer,

Yes the PCs are able to ping their respective default gateways.

for now all VLANs are allowed on the trunk, as I am receiving all of them through VTP v3 on the access switches.

The access switches are able to ping all SVIs but the devices connected to them are not. Only their default gateways.

If you run a "debug ip icmp" on the 3750X and ping a IP of the switch that is not the DG of the PC (pinging from the PC), do you see any output?

do traceroute from PC to IP. does this reach your default gateway?

elom.kutsienyo · ‎09-02-2013

No please, the traceroute dies at the default gateway.

elom.kutsienyo · ‎09-02-2013

When I ping my default Gateway I see the debuging packcets but when I ping an external network, nothing shows.

Karsten Iwen · ‎09-02-2013

Have you double-checked the IP-settings that the PC learns? Escpecially that there is no typo in the Default-Gateway?

There is also no output if you ping 192.168.10.254 from the PC?

Can you share route print from PC ? I am suspecting subnet mask configured on your system

shillings · ‎09-02-2013

I know you can ping the local default gateway from each client machine, but has DHCP correctly learned a default gateway address?

Any ACLs configured?

Any permenant routes configured on the client machines that might be preferred over the DHCP-learned default route?

elom.kutsienyo · ‎09-02-2013

I have not configured any route yet, nor any access lists. I just uploaded the configuration on the core switch to the discussion. If anyone spot an error, I will be so pleased.
