Vlan 1 status is down , protocol is down

iteastern1 · ‎04-16-2016

Hi to everyone,

Please help me.

This is the scenario.

I have 3 switches

1). Catalyst 4500X-16 SFP+ Switch

2). Catalyst 2900-X Series 48 Port and

3). Catalyst 2900-X Series 24 Port.

IP address:

4500X is 192.168.3.50 while

48 port 2900X is 192.168.3.41 and

24 port 2900X is 192.168.3.33.

If I connect my laptop directly to 2900X Series 48port I can ping 192.168.3.33 but when I directly connected 4500X and 4500X is connected to 48port 2900X(192.168.3.41) then I cannot ping 192.168.3.33.

what should I do ?.

Reza Sharifi · ‎04-16-2016

Hi,

Make sure vlan1 SVI on the 4500x is not shut down, has an IP address with correct mask. Also, if you have multiple vlans between the 4500x and the 2900x make sure the link between them is configured as trunk.

Can you post config from the 4500x?

Hi Reza,

I already tried no shut in 4500x, also i have only 1 vlan which is default vlan 1.

here is the config:

Reza Sharifi · ‎04-16-2016

Thanks for posting the config.

After looking at the 4500x config, lets calcify a couple of things.

interface FastEthernet1
vrf forwarding mgmtVrf
ip address 192.168.3.50 255.255.255.0
speed auto
duplex auto

you also have

interface Vlan1
ip address 192.168.3.56 255.255.255.0

The first config is for the out of band port on the switch (mgmt0). The second config is vlan1 and is used for in band management. I am assuming you are trying to use the second one which is 192.168.3.56 255.255.255.0 right? if that is the case in your first post you pointed to 192.168.3.50 address.

So, if you want to use vlan1 which is .56 than you need to delete the first config

nterface FastEthernet1
vrf forwarding mgmtVrf
no ip address 192.168.3.50 255.255.255.0
speed auto
duplex auto

and now test again and let me know.

What command should I use to delete the first configuration?

Reza Sharifi · ‎04-16-2016

Logon to the 4500x switch and try these commands:

config t

interface FastEthernet1
no ip address

HTH

iteastern1 · ‎04-16-2016

Hi Reza,

after executing no ip address i deleted now my fastethernet1 ip address.

interface FastEthernet1
vrf forwarding mgmtVrf
no ip address
speed auto
duplex auto
!

I am trying to ping now 2960x 24Port (interface TenGigabitEthernet1/15) connected to my 4500x but still unable to ping, but I can still ping my 2960x 48Port connected to my (mgmt0).

what am I missing?

Reza Sharifi · ‎04-16-2016

Can you post sh run from all 3 devices?

Also, is vlan1 interface on the 4500x up and running?

Can you post the output of "sh int vlan1" from all switches?

I tried

config t

int vlan1

no shut

but vlan 1 in 4500x series is still down.

Hi Reza,

I tried

config t

int vlan1

no autostate

output:

Switch#sh int vlan1
Vlan1 is up, line protocol is up , Autostate Disabled

all my vlan1 now is up and running.

I can ping my 2960x 24Port when it is connected in 2960x 48Port, but cannot ping 2960x 24Port when it is connected to 4500x.

laptop -------> 2960x 48port <--------- 4500x

[]

2960x 24port

Laptop, 4500x and 2960x 24Port are all connected to 2960 48Port.
this connection is good. I can ping 3 switches.

but this is the connection I need.

laptop -------> 2960x 48port <------- 4500x <------------ 2960x 24port

Laptop and 4500x connected to 2960x 48Port and

2960x 24Port connected to 4500x.

I can ping 4500x and 2960x 48Port but I cannot ping 2960x 24Port which is connected to 2960x 48Port.

Thanks

Hi Reza,

My problem has been solve by now. I changed the way my switches connected to each other.. from management 0 to(utp patch cord) to (fiber optic tengigabit ethernetport).

Thanks. Have a nice day.
