I've made a network that has 2 routers configured with 4 different subnets, they're all supposed to interact with eachother through IPv4 and IPv6. I've set up 3 switches, all have the necessary vlan1 and all the other IP addresses are correct. However for some reason despite IPv6 communicating across the network, only IPv4 has issues. I also figured this out when I couldn't ping my own laptops IP address through it's cmdwith IPv4.
Really having trouble figuring any of this out, I can't check ARP if that helps at all. I'm still a beginner and figuring this stuff out on your own is hard, any help is appreciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @Vaco ,
You can't just assigned the addresses on all the PCs starting from .10 and incrementing. You rather need to make sure that the PCs used an address from the subnet they are connected to.
I am not sure why it doesn't work for you PC#1 after changing the address on PC#3.

Appreciate that, I'll post it there aswell, I'm new here.

1. PC #3 is in a different subnet than default gateway. Changed IP to .72 and it works.
2. I created DHCP pools to allow the wireless clients to get IP addresses. (Also need to add helper address to routers)
Please reply if you need a more help and I can share the config I did.

Hi @Vaco ,
PC#3 is configured with an IP address in the wrong subnet. It should be part of 192.168.5.64/27, so should have an IP address in the range 192.168.5.66 to 192.168.5.94. The default GW on PC#3 is correct though.

Hi Harold,
I should have been clearer, my apologies I was in a rush. So for all end devices in the network, they've all been addressed from 10 onwards (it's part of a uni cisco assignment). And when I do change its ip to .72, I still can't ping it from PC#1, I'm really not sure why because IPv6 still allows it to go through.

Just to make sure, you have PC1 IP as 192.168.5.10, and PC3 IP as 192.168.5.72?

This does not work because 192.168.5.12/27 (PC1) is not in the same subnet as 192.168.5.65/27 (default gateway).

I'm a silly goof.. The assignment asked for host allocation to start addressing end devices from 10 onwards. I figured out the correct ip addresses for IPv6 but when it came to IPv4 I was completely baffled and now I know why. I appreciate everyones help here, I reconfigured every IP address that started from 10 onwards in IPv4 and structured them accordingly.
Thank you all.
