Unable to Ping from Native Vlan to an ip in another VLan

[shaharshad]

Hi,

I am facing an issue. I am able to do normal ping to a particular VM machine  (172.16.2.10) in Vlan 2. But when I am trying to do Extended Ping (Source Vlan 1 ), I am unable to ping it. However, I am able to ping from some other Vlans like (VLAN3). 

Can you please help me

thanks

Can you post the configs, we need to see them?

Are you pinging from the same switch that the VM host is plugged into?

What does your intervlan routing?

[shaharshad]

Its a Layer 3 switch which is doing intervlan routing. All ports are configured trunk. I have changed ports but it didn't work. I 'll send you config shortly.

Meanwhile i checked "esxcfg-vswitch" (I don't know much about VMware) out put. One thing which caught my attention was under 

PortGroup Name        Vlan ID           Used Port

Default                           0                     0

Shouldn't default vlan should be having vlan 1?

Other vendors don't necessarily assign vlan ID 1 as the native vlan.  That is a Cisco thing, and also a possible source of interoperability headaches.

Hi,

Thanks for your answers.

by the way I want to clear my concept. shouldn't this intervlan routing stuff to be done on l3 switches?

Actual scenario is;

both switches A & B(one Cisco and one juniper) are layer3 having vlan 1 and 2 exists on both switches with interfaces. Than comes Esxi virtual (distributed , it has vlan 2 and Sonme other vlans 3,4 etc not vlan 1) switch C which is contacted to switch B (i.e. Juniper).

Now if I try to ping machine in vlan 2 from interface / machine on vlan 1 of switch A it doesn't ping. Can someone explain it?

thanks
