question about trunk interface with ?

[Dr.X]

hi ,

i have the  topology below :

"Vmware pc"<===="PC"<==========>switched 2960<=======>-Gi0/1-Router

note that:

PC is the physical computer and inside it nother operating sysetm called "vmware pc"

on router , we have an ip from vlan 1  on the physical interface.

on router there is subinterface to vlan 13

note the link from PC to switch 2960 is configured with trunk

noe that  physical pc has an ip from vlan 1 whch has  from the subnet  of Gi0/1 on the router ,

note that  on vmware virtual mahcine has an  ip from vlan 13  whcih is from subnet of interface Gi0/1.13

i configured PC  and Vmware pc to be in bridged mode .

here is interfaces configs on router:

=============================================

interface GigabitEthernet0/1

description Internet From Gateway

ip address xx.160.xx.xx 255.255.255.0 secondary

ip address 20.xx..xx.xx 255.255.255.0

!        

interface GigabitEthernet0/1.13

description OFFICE-VLAN

encapsulation dot1Q 13

ip address zz.zz.zz.zz 255.255.255.224

================================================

my problem is

if i configured trunk port  between PC and switch ,

only PC can reach  its gateway , but the virtual machine cant see  its gateway

if i configured access port   between PC and switch  with vlan 1

only PC can reach  its gateway , but the virtual machine cant see  its gateway

if i configured access port   between PC and switch  with vlan 13

only the virtual machine can reach its gateway but  PC cant reach its gateway

my question is , how to let both " PC and virtual machine to reach thier gateways "

why the trunk mode between PC and switch couldnt solve the problem ??????

Hi Ahmed

did you verify that the PC NIC supports 802.1q?,

and i  also assumme that you are using vmware workstation and i am almost sure that it doesn't support vlan tagging, when you put a virtual machine in bridge mode, it just connect the VM to the same vlan of the physycal PC.

anyway you could check in google if there is a way to implementing on vmware workstation.

assuming that vmware tags the virtual machine frames, and your NIC supports it, the trunk port configuration on the switch is the right.

sir vmware workstation does not support vlan tagging so please try on  vmware server.
