Linux Workstation & CISCO SWHITCH 3550

[nomee_mirza786]

Hi All,

I have build two Linux workstations and I am using CISCO layer 3 switch as a gateway. I have configured vlan 10 for gateway and assigned ip addresses to workstations including gateway but I when I ping gateway or Linux workstation to another Linux workstation I got an error host is unreachable.

Please advise or any suggestions.

Hi Nomee,

The config example below should work.
Check to see if you have something similar

3550#
!
vlan 10
name LINUX-WORKSTATIONS
!
ip routing
!
interface vlan 10
desrciption LINUX-WORKSTATIONS-VLAN
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.25.255.0
no shut
!
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 YOUR NEXT HOP IP ADD
!
interface fast 0/1
switchport host
switchport access vlan 10
desrciption LINUX-WORKSTATION #1
no shut
!
!
interface fast 0/2
switchport host
switchport access vlan 10
desrciption LINUX-WORKSTATION #2
no shut
!
end

Configure the work stations to
ip address 192.168.1.X (but NOT 1)
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
default gateway 192.168.1.1

Thank you so much for your response.
i am able to ping from Switch to Fast0/1 without any technical issue.  However if i ping from Linux workstation i got an error Destination host unreachable? Even though I have checked all the settings including ifcfg-eth0, resolve.conf, /etc/hosts, gateway  and iptables etc.

but still cannot ping from Linux workstation to switch.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Nomee.
