Hi all,
Let me start with the network description. There are two Cisco 3560 switches (A) and (B). Switch A is the "core" switch and carries multiple VLANs (5, 20, 82 and 100). Switch B is connected to switch A with a fiber link (ports on both switches are set to trunk and allow all VLANs to traverse them. The native VLAN is 100). Switch A has an IP address set on VLAN 100: 10.100.254.254/255.255.0.0. I have manually created VLANs (10, 15, 19, 82 and 100) on switch B (has a different VTP domain than switch A). However, I did not create the "logical" interfaces for these VLANs on switch B (and thus these VLANs do not have IP addresses assigned to them). I have set one physical port on switch B to be in the access mode and VLAN 100. There is a Windows system with the static IP address of 10.100.40.1/255.255.0.0 attached to it.
I am able to ping VLAN 100 interface (10.100.254.254) on switch A from switch B, but the following do not work:
- I cannot ping 10.100.40.1 (Windows workstation connected to switch B) from switch A
- I cannot ping 10.100.40.1 (Windows workstation connected to switch B) from switch B
- I cannot ping 10.100.254.254 from the Windows workstation connected to switch B.
What am I missing here? Please advise.
Thanks, AP
