I hope this is a appropriate place to post these kind of simple beginner questions, im not only new the site but im new to networking in general, im only a student in an intro course. If this is an ok place to ask questions then you will have to forgive me because i still haven't fully grasped a lot of the terminology or techniques or anything really. I am doing an assignment in packet tracer (ver. 7.2) and for the most part everything is splendid except for one portion. The topology:
Everything can ping everything else (the most important bit for the assignment) except for any host inside the Chicago vlan. any ping from PC3-7 with a destination past Chicago_GW is dropped at the core switch (not the router) any ping with a destination to PC3-7 will pass through Chicago_GW no problem but nothing can leave. I understand this is infuriatingly vague but im am not sure what else is needed to give clearer picture, i will provide anything that is asked. The link between Chicago_GW and core is trunked so i assume its might be something with tagging but again i don't even understand enough to get google to help.
