IRB BVI0 interface, no ping possible from the router to inside hosts

Sep 17, 2008 0 Replies

Hi Group,



Another problem:



I have a remote site which has a Cisco 877W configured.



It's a wireless model, and I had quite some trouble figuring out "bridge irb" and setting up interface BVI0.



However its works.... with one major problem:



I cannot ping ANY LAN host from the router console.



Pinging --from the router's CLI- it's owm IP adress (and pinging internet hosts) is the only thing that works.



Form a LAN client perspective everything works fine. They can ping each other & an internet host & they can ping the routers inside IP adress too.



This is a real problem, Since The C877W is used in a site to site VPN.......You guessed it....VPN works fine....but the only host I can See/ping/access is the router itself.



Any tips? Should I get rid of IRB altogether and back using Vlan 1 , 2 ....etc. When I configured the wireless part. I used "Integrated Routing and Bridging" This was one of the examples that floats around the 'net.


Greetings, Steven.
