Trunk ports, VLANs, Catalyst 3750, Layer 2 problems

Hi All
This is driving me mad at the moment and it should be very easy!

I've got 3 switches (Cisco Catalyst 3750 with ADVIPSERVICESK):
3750-HQ1 with 3750-HQ2 and 3750-3 connected to it via dot1q trunk ports.

On 3750-HQ1 I have an interface called VLAN99 with IP address 10.0.0.241
On 3750-HQ2 I have an interface called VLAN99 with IP address 10.0.0.242
On 3750-3 I have an interface called VLAN99 with IP address 10.0.0.243

I can ping 10.0.0.242 from 3750-HQ1 and vice versa, but we cannot get any pings from/to 3750-3 on VLAN99.

Please have a look at the three config files attached and see if there's anything blindingly obvious that I'm obviously too blind to see?

I've been banging my head against this all day!

Thanks!

I'm guessing that you don't have a trunk port on HQ2 going to HQ3. I can't say for sure since you don't specify which ports are used to connect HQ2 to HQ3.
Try logging into all the switches and check the output using
show interfaces trunk
With this output you shall know how many trunk links are formed between switches.
From the text files you attached, I observed that there wasnt any trunk link specified from hq 2  to switch 3750-3
You might have to configure a trunk .between  hq 2  and switch 3750-3.
That should take care of it.
 
Issue "sh vlan" and check that vlan 99 is on switch 3, it will be listed as active.

if not issue

vlan 99
exit

Hi guys

Thanks for the comments. I'll be able to run a few commands on Tuesday. In the meantime, some more info. I'm also fairly certain (from memory) that VLAN 99 does exist on HQ3 - but I'll confirm on Tuesday.

I should have explained a bit better how these switches are connected. Imagine HQ1 as the "core" switch. HQ2 is hanging off port 1/0/24 and HQ3 is hanging of port 1/0/10. There is no direct link between HQ2 and HQ3.

On HQ1:  
Port 1/0/10:
 interface GigabitEthernet1/0/10
  description xxxxx connection to xxxx 90Mbps Max
  switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
  switchport mode trunk
  speed 100
  duplex full

Port 1/0/24:
 interface GigabitEthernet1/0/24
  description Downlink to CAT-3750-HQ2
  switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
  switchport mode trunk
  duplex full


Also what I didnt mention is that I can successfully ping on VLAN99 bwteen HQ1 and HQ2 - it's just 3 that's not working as it should.

Thanks
TB
Please post the output of  "show int status" and "show int trunk" for HQ and Switch 3.

Everything looks good there. The only thing left is the VLAN interface itself. Can you post the output of a "show ip int brief".

Once again, everything looks correct. Can you ping the VLAN 1 interface on Switch 3 from the HQ switch?

Pings on VLAN 1 are OK between all switches:

Thanks

Then you've probably got a duplicate IP address (10.0.0.243) or a bad entry in the arp cache.

Once you verify there is no other 10.0.0.243 device, check the arp cache of the Switches and see if there's an entry for the other VLAN99 address and that the MAC is correct.
Avatar of theB0FH

ASKER

OK, I've change VLAN 99 interface IP address on switch 3 to 10.0.0.175 in case there was a conflict. This didn't fix it. I've then done a "clear arp" on all the switches and then did a "show arp | incl 10.0".

On Switch 1 and 2 it's all fine (I see entries from each of these on each other), but on Switch 3 there's some wierdness. Look at the mac address for 10.0.0.1 - can this point to something else that's wrong?

Thanks

another note:

I've removed the "ip helper ..." line from Vlan 99 on Switch 3 - this gets rid of the "Incomplete" Arp entry, but this solves nothing - Switch 2 | Vlan 99 is configured in the same way and that works OK...

Is there some way to trace traffic or something?

Thanks

Real stupid question, can you ping 10.0.0.175 from CAT-3750-3?  That is, can it ping its own VLAN99 IP address?
Avatar of theB0FH

Fair question!
Yes I can ping the VLAN99 IP address from the switch.
cheers

Do you have any devices that are on CAT-3750-3 that are on VLAN99?

If so can CAT-3750-3 and that device ping each other?

Hi giltjr:
There is a device attached to switch 3 that has the ip address 10.0.0.176. This is the ping output as welll as sh arp.

hi giltjr

Thanks for the comment. I'll have to try that outside office hours as that's one crucial port! I'll hopefully do it later tonight, but more like sometime over the weekend. I'll post back as soon as I have any results.

cheers and have  agood weekend

I've not been able to get alone-time on the switch. I'll try soon though. Thx

Hi guys (admins included)

I need to put this on hold, but I don't want to close the issue. Problem is I cannot really modify the config of this switch (specifically port 1/0/13) at the moment as it is critical not to have any downtime at the moment.

Can we just leave this call open or should it be put "on hold" in some way? I don't want to cancel it since someone could still come up with a simple solution while waiting for me to get a window for testing.

And the points are still up for grabs.

Cheers

Quick update:

We've not had time to do the suggested steps, but another thing came to mind - perhaps we should update the software on the switches all to the same level if it's not already. Will have to look at this over the next couple of weeks.

Unfortunately I'm going to have to just close this question as I cannot put any time aside to do anything about it anytime soon.

Sorry for the thinly spread points but since there are no clear solutions, what else could I do!

Thanks for the imput guys
