Unable to ping from 1 pc to another

[Mickxymick]

Hi there. A few hours old into networking and decided to do trunking. My PCs are able to ping their gateway, but unable to ping each other even on the same switch. I am however able to ping the ip address of the other switch. The 2 PCs on switch 1 was able to ping each other until I added the 2nd switch and did trunking. Can anyone help point out to me what the mistake is? One of my friends said it could be due to the trunk encapsulation? 

Thank you.

1. you need to configure ip routing using command #ip routing in first switch and then switch will route traffic between vlan 1 and 10

2. you need to configure  ip routing using command #ip routing in second switch and then switch will route traffic between vlan 30 and others.

for learning purpose, this testing is ok. but for real architecting of designs, learn more basics first and apply it to network and architecture.

good luck

Hi Kasun,
It worked! Thank you. 

As for the rest, I'm not particularly sure what's the correct path to be on but just trying to have a feel of networking first. Thank you for your help and advice!
