cisco 2900 x series unable to ping

I'm unable to ping this switch is there something missing in the config file?

here is the current configuration:

I think I'm missing the gateway here and I would like to access it via http

what config changes do I need and how do I make them

Thanks

ASKER

Forgot to mention other devices are reachable on the 192.168.2.x subnet vlan2

try:
interface VLAN2
no shutdown

you are also going to need to add the switchports to that vlan as well:

interface FastEthernet0/1
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 2

ASKER

Ok I will run accross the street and give it a try...

ASKER

rfc1180:
this switch is actively running and supporting some critical devices. By doing:
interface FastEthernet0/1
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 2

This won't take my network down? And does
"interface FastEthernet0/1" refer to port 1? what if something is plugged into it
that won't cause a problem will it?

Thanks

please post:

show int status

Billy

if all your interfaces are on vlan 1, then move the Ip to vlan 1 interface:

interface VLAN1
ip address 192.168.2.10 255.255.255.0
no ip directed-broadcast
no ip route-cache

Billy

ASKER

I think vlan2 is the one being used 1)because the config file shows 192.168.2.10
as the IP of switch and ping I do 'angry ip' (ipscan) of the subnet 192.168.2.1 -255 I'm able to ping and telnet into some of the devices connected to the switch.

ASKER

Ok I will post int status in just a sec have to run accross the street

ASKER

here is the 'sh int vlan1 and vlan2'

i need:

show int status

Thanks

ASKER

sec

ASKER

this is what I get if I don't specify 'valn'

Press RETURN to get started.

Switch>show int status

what type of switch is this, 2950?

ASKER

2900 x series

as vlan1 is up,

just add the ip to vlan 1:

interface VLAN1
ip address 192.168.2.10 255.255.255.0
no ip directed-broadcast
no ip route-cache

see if that works:

This will not cause the network to go down (assuming .10 is not used on your network)

Ok running back across (spelled correctly this time) the street to give a try. It is a beautiful day here in Woodinville ,Wa so it is nice to get out

ASKER

Ok finished have a steady Ip from my PC and still no love no ping response

ASKER

steady ping that is to that ip address

what port is plugged into the 2900.
what IP are you pinging from?
Also it would be nice to know the make/model (show int status should have worked); please post:
show version

Billy

sorry, what port is the PC (The system you are pinging from) plugged into the 2900.

ASKER

my PC is showing

10.1.98.18
255.255.0.0
10.1.2.1

and just a note I can ping every other device connected to that switch.

I ran over to the other bldg and the config change did not take do you think it has anything to do with the fact that both Vlan1 and Vlan2 will have the same address if I were sucessful and configuring vlan1 to 192.168.2.10?

ASKER

simply put I'm not using any port on the 2900 to ping to/from
the only thing I'm connected with is the management cable to a laptop in order to configure the device

yea, so you do need a gateway, I just assumed that the PC was directly connected to the switch

do you have a network diagram that depicts your network. You will need to set:

ip default-gateway x.x.x.x

A router that handles routing for your 10.1.0.0/26 network

10.1.0.0/16 rather

ASKER

Ok so when I find the gateway I will do the following

no interface vlan1
interface VLAN1
ip address 192.168.2.10 255.255.255.0
ip default-gateway x.x.x.x
no ip directed-broadcast
no ip route-cache

does this look correct?

Ok sounds good I will track the gateway down and update here after lunch

thanks again

yeah, me lunch too!

Good luck

ASKER

OK I think this will work if I can determine the gateway so I will go ahead and close this..

Thanks for your help

Best

ASKER

Was able to test with a gateway of 192.168.10.1 and all is well
I can telnet and http to the switch life is good!

Nice! Glad to hear

Billy
