Are you using actual PCs to try and ping each other? If so and are using Windows pc's, you need to turn off the firewall on both clients... I ran into the exact same thing and was pulling out my now greying hair and it turns out the firewall was blocking the pings!

Ok gentlemen/ladies -

I shall present the case of why can't host A ping Host B. It's a mystery novel, starring myself!

This is really a ccna/ccnp type problem but I have done this many times before, and it's always worked.....until today. I was simply just running through the blue print, and configuring the basics. I wanted to make sure I could whip out a config in seconds or minutes. Well I have done this before so I am wondering maybe I just need a rest?

Topology is dead simple. Cat 1 int fa0/11 goes to A and Fa0/12 goes to B.

Host A is in VLAN 11
Host B is in VLAN 12.

Host A and B are PC's.

Host A ip add is 11.11.11.11/24
default gateway is 11.11.11.1 (The address of int vlan 11)

Host B ip add is 12.12.12.12/24
default gateway is 12.12.12.1 (The address of int vlan 12)

The topology, again super easy simple (with a side of OMG!)

CAT1
 |       |
A    B

Host A and Host B are both pointing to int vlan 11 and 12 respectively. Now, I am going nuts! I did a wr erase on the cat 3550 and did a delete vlan.dat and did a reload (saying NO I don't want to save). Out here in California we have a saying "Seriously Dude, seriously" and that applies to here. Sooooooooooooooo is there something I did wrong?

I mean hell I even went into packet tracer 5.2 and tested it out and it worked. I called my friend and told him what I did he says it should work. I watched CBT nuggets BCMSN series, did the same thing he did his works, mine doesn't.

Here's my steps from beginning to end. I put ip routing on there, I know people forget - and I checked that. I went to cisco website, followed the example - Ok, I give up what gives!

So here it is: (Show run results at very bottom)


Switch>en
Switch#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)#host CAT1
CAT1(config)#ip routing
CAT1(config)#int fa0/11
CAT1(config-if)#switch mode acc
CAT1(config-if)#switch acc vlan 11
% Access VLAN does not exist. Creating vlan 11
CAT1(config-if)#int vlan 11
%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Vlan11, changed state to up
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Vlan11, changed state to upCAT1(config-if)#ip add 11.11.11.1 255.255.255.0
CAT1(config-if)#int fa0/12
CAT1(config-if)#switch mode acc
CAT1(config-if)#switch acc vlan 12
% Access VLAN does not exist. Creating vlan 12
CAT1(config-if)#int vlan 12
%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Vlan12, changed state to up
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Vlan12, changed state to up
CAT1(config-if)#ip add 12.12.12.1 255.255.255.0
CAT1(config-if)#end
CAT1#wr


After all that I verified with show int vlan 11, show int vlan 12 see they are up/up and verified the ip addresses. I see the fa0/11 and 12 are up/up. I can ping from Host A to int vlan 11 (11.11.11.1) AND to Int Vlan 12 (12.12.12.1) but I cannot get to 12.12.12.12 from host A or to 11.11.11.11 from host B. So I can ping default gateway from each host, but not into the subnets themselves on the other vlan.

So now you have the facts, how does the jury find me? CRAZY or not crazy :)
