Unable to ping across routers

Kasperborg1

I'm having a problem. I'm currently on my first year of an IT education and was messing around with packet tracer.

I ran into the problem of being unable to ping across a router.

I have several subnets, one on each side of the router, so I'd like to know what i'm doing wrong, since this is really bugging me.

Using the router, I can ping both sides, however, i can't ping from one side of the router to the other.

I've included the PT file below.

I apologize for my english and any mistakes made, this is my first post.

Edit:

I'ev included a screenshot of the scenario. Each bubble represents its own subnet.

While on Router0, I can ping both PC3 and PC1, but they cannot ping each other.

Hey you may want to just post the configs basic screenshot of topology we can take a look a lot of people here may not use packet tracer that will be able to help answer this for you

Thanks, will do.

ok so no need for a default-gateway as its a router , layer 2 devices like switches use default gateways while routers use either IGP routing (RIP/EIGRP/OSPF etc) or a default route as an example, a device connected directly to the internet through modem i.e ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.x this says all traffic that's is not specifically known by some interface route it outbound towards the default address setup

where exactly can you not ping between what's the source and destination ip ,is it the 2 interfaces provided above or is it to another router

You should be able to ping between interfaces on the same layer 3 device as they will show in your routing table as connected interfaces

I can ping between the intefaces while in the CLI, but i cannot send traffic from, for example, PC1 (IP: 195.54.32.40 SM: 255.255.255.192) to PC3 (IP: 195.54.32.118 SM: 255.255.255.248)

So in short, I can ping from one interface to another, but not between clients on either end.

You will need an IGP to be able to route between subnets , the interfaces can speak to each other as there directly connected but it wont allow host - host communication without an IGP like rip or eigrp to form the route table

router eigrp 1
 network 195.54.32.0 0.0.0.63
 network 195.54.32.112 0.0.0.7

Alright, I didn't know that, thanks.

However, I have done as you said, but still nothing.

I'll try to reconstruct it from scratch, perhaps I've messed something up along the way.

Looking at your topology are you trying to connect from pc1 to pc3 through the switches , if so can you ping your interface gateway ip address from each of the pcs , this should be the default gateway set on the pc locally, is there anything configured on those switches

can you post your

show ip route

show ip arp

show mac address-table

The switches are not configured.

PC1 can ping both interfaces on Router0, BUT!
PC3 can only ping interface 0/0 (195.54.32.114)
