Hey,
We just installed some new switches at a remote site. A 3750X as the core switch and around 12 access layer switches distributed around different closets at the site.
On the core switch, when I ping without specifying a source I get some very inconsistant results. When I ping the loopback interface on the same switch I get a normal response:
WN-B3-CORE-3750X#ping 10.255.255.7
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.255.255.7, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/1 ms
WN-B3-CORE-3750X#
If I ping the router's loopback connected to the core switch I get a very slow response:
WN-B3-CORE-3750X#ping 10.255.255.6
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.255.255.6, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 302/337/403 ms
WN-B3-CORE-3750X#
If I ping the router's loopback connected to the core switch but, specify a source(any source that exists on the core switch) I get a normal response:
WN-B3-CORE-3750X#ping 10.255.255.6 source lo0
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.255.255.6, timeout is 2 seconds:
Packet sent with a source address of 10.255.255.7
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/1 ms
WN-B3-CORE-3750X#
If I ping an address on the other side of the WAN without specifying a source the ping fails.
Any ideas?
