[Problem] Cisco 3560 Switch: Unable to ping to different VLAN

Hi all,

Here is my topology. I’ve created to VLAN and I can ping each host in the same VLAN. Unfortunately, I can’t ping a host on different VLAN.

 

Ping Test

You can ping the other network, rather you can not ping the host.

Given you had the servers config wrong, the chances are the clients are as well.

Therefore, check the clients S/M and G/W are correct.

Sounds like firewall on 3.1.1.1 is enabled.

Thanks Leo for your prompt response. Firewall is disabled. I can ping 3.1.1.1 from 3.1.1.2 (different switch, same VLAN)
But I can’t ping from the same switch, different VLAN

Hi

This is what's wrong:

IP Address......................: 3.1.1.2
Subnet Mask.....................: 255.0.0.0
Default Gateway.................: 0.0.0.0

It needs to be:

IP Address......................: 3.1.1.2
Subnet Mask.....................: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway.................: 3.1.1.10

The mask needs to be correct so that the host knows when the host is on a different subnet, and the default gateway needs to be configured to that the host knows where to send packets that should be transported to a different subnet.

 

 

Thanks Henrik, 
I’ve fixed the gateway & subnet but still can’t ping to different VLAN.

Martin

Aaah, you're right Martin. I did the same mistake on the other host. Gateway was not configured.

Now I'm able to ping to all hosts even in different VLAN.

Thanks all, I really appreciate your help.

Hi,

You have not mentioned gateway/default-router address. Thats why you are not able to ping different vlans.
