Hello,
I built a very simply topology which I'll be building for a new project. Here's the summary:
Sw_02: Distribution Switch
SVI VLAN100: 100.100.100.254/24 --- Used for for the default gateway for the server farm and workstation
F1/1 100.100.90.1/24 --- Used to connect Sw_02 to Sw_01
F1/0: Trunk
F1/2: Trunk
Windows Server2016: 100.100.100.99/24
PC1: 100.100.100.50/24
--------------------------------------------------------------
Ping results:
SW_02#ping 100.100.100.50
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 100.100.100.50, timeout is 2 seconds:
.....
Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)
SW_02#
PC1> ping 100.100.100.254
host (100.100.100.254) not reachable
PC1>
---------------------------------------------------------
Anything that I am missing here?
Thanks in advance,

Hello,
both server and PC are connected to the same switch, in the same VLAN, so if both ports on SW_02 are in the same VLAN, they should be able to connect, without any Layer 3 connection. Why are F1/1and F1/2 configured as trunks ? What happens if you simply make them access ports in VLAN 100 ?
If possible, post the configuration of SW_02.

Hello
As stated when there s only one vlan you dont have to have routing enabled as commutation would be all l2 unless you want the hosts to communicate to other vlans or off the vlan and out of your network.

Make sure all hosts have a default-gateway pointing to the svi on the vlan they are assigned to
