Cisco 2960 Telnet Issue

I recently installed (4) cisco 2960 switches at a remote site sitting behind a checkpoint firewall...I am able to telnet to my 3 LAN switches, but am unable to telnet to the core switch below? I get connection failed. Traffic is passing through all of the network. Do you see any issue with the below config that would not allow telnet?

How do the other 3 switches connect to this switch?

Can you ping 192.168.110.10? If so, do you see any interesting information when you do a "show log" on that switch from console?

I can ping 192.168.110.10 from the other switches....I just can't telnet to it....I can't open console session...its 7 hours away...

Don Johnston

Once again, how are the other 3 switches connected to this switch? Are they all in the same location? What are the IP addresses of the other switches?

I could be a rule on the firewall that is blocking access to this one switch.

bbresslin

ASKER

The other 3 switches come off ports on the main switch...direct connect..

192.168.110.10 is the root..... .11 .12 and .13 are the other 3 switches...

Don Johnston

Then if you can't telnet to the .10 switch from outside, but you can telnet to 11, 12 and 13 and you can ping .10, it's the firewall.

You can test this by telnetting to the .11 switch and then try to telnet to the .10 switch. If that works, it's the firewall.

BTW, you DO have a vty password defined, right? Your posted config doesn't show one.

I do have one defined....I removed it from the config...I telnetted from the firewall to the .11 switch then tried to telnet to the .10..

Don Johnston

Do you have a vty password defined on the .10 switch?

Do you have a privileged mode password on the .10 switch? Either one of these will prevent you from telnetting to the switch.

I would almost bet it's number 3....I was given these IP addresses to use from a client....from an active subnet on their LAN...I will follow up to see if it is or has been previously used...

it was number 3....IP address was changed...
