Packet Tracer pinging

JGomezM

So I am working on this assignment and for some reason I cannot get V15 or V20 pcs to ping across the network they get stuck at Distribution 1. When I add default gateways to the switches and remove them they ping to distribution 2 but no further any suggestions? The PC is communicating with Core since it is receiving an IP from the DHCP so in my thinking at least it should be able to ping it.

Hello,

there are numerous issues with your topology:

1. HSRP priority missing, causing your groups to constantly switch state

2. DHCP address of default gateway not excluded

3. All port channels are inconsistent, they are using different modes. I would suggest to use adjacent physical interfaces and put descriptions on what they are connected to

I fixed as much as possible, all PCs can now reach their default gateways...

Thanks, I worked on this most of the day I am still kind of new to all this. I saw the HRSP issue and the DHCP. I do need to get better about labeling everything as I go. I appreciate your assistance.

Hello,. 

the network you built is not exactly 'beginner' material, you are using some advanced techniques. Labeling is always a good idea. Good luck with your further studies, you are making good progess !
