Layer 2 / Layer 3 routing problem

Carl Williams
Level 1
Level 1

‎01-01-2017 01:22 PM - edited ‎03-08-2019 08:45 AM

I have two switches and I'm trying to get a basic network working, for some reason ESW2 switch has configured as a layer 2 router. With a default route is not routing traffic properly to the layer 3 switch 3.

The issue is between the layer 2 and the layer 3 switch routing can someone assist me in this area.

I'm unable to ping the layer 3 switch gateway IP vlan 10 from the PC's can someone explain where i'm going wrong here cause it can't see it.

Hi Carl,

From your description, you're saying that when you try pinging 10.10.10.1 from PCs in either VLAN10 or VLAN20, you are getting no responses. Is that correct?

Let's go step by step, and please try to answer every question including any outputs from your topology you can provide as an evidence:

  1. When you enter show vlan brief on the L2 and the L3 switches, are VLANs 10 and 20 created? (Due to the fact that you're using a switching module, you might need to use show vlan-sw brief command instead.)
  2. When you enter show ip int brief vlan10 and show ip int brief vlan20 on the L3 switch, is the interface reported as "status up, protocol up"?
  3. When you run show cdp neighbor on the L2 switch, do you see the L3 switch, and vice versa?
  4. When you run show mac address-table on the L2 switch, do you see the MAC addresses of the hosts in VLAN10 and VLAN20 being learned?
  5. When you run show mac address-table on the L3 switch, do you see the MAC addresses of the hosts in VLAN10 and VLAN20 being learned?
  6. Can hosts in VLAN20 ping 192.168.10.1? What IP addresses are used for hosts in VLAN20?
  7. What default gateway are hosts in VLAN20 using?

Thanks! Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Peter

ESW1#
the topology looks quiet simple I am unable to even ping vlan 10 and vlan 20 from the PC's even though they are set up with the correct gateway IP's.

Hi Carl,

Your ESW2 is not learning any MAC addresses from attached hosts. It seems like the frames from the PCs are not even reaching ESW2.

Let's continue the troubleshooting. From ESW2, please post the complete output of the following commands:

show interface status
show interface trunk
show vlan-sw brief

Also, can PC1 ping PC2, and can PC3 ping PC4?

Best regards,
Peter

Hello

In addition to peters post , Please make sure ip routing is disabled on the L2 switch
