Destination Host Unreachable but Gateway Pingable

Getting this?

[root@mdskvm-p05 ~]# ping 10.0.0.73
PING 10.0.0.73 (10.0.0.73) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 10.0.0.72 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
From 10.0.0.72 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
From 10.0.0.72 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable

Pinging gateway works but doesn't go beyond that?


[root@mdskvm-p05 ~]# ping 10.0.0.1
PING 10.0.0.1 (10.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=1.75 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=0.715 ms


Start by checking on Switch 2 where most of the cables are plugged into.  One of the interfaces is set to VLAN 1 but no GE port is associated with it:

Verifying the cables shows 1 cable of each host is connected to the Cisco 3750.  Checking on Switch 1 for the connection we see that one of the interfaces is set to VLAN 1:

mdscisco01#show mac address-table | include 827
   2    2c44.fd96.8274    DYNAMIC     Gi1/0/10
   2    2c44.fd96.8275    DYNAMIC     Po4
   2    2c44.fd96.8276    DYNAMIC     Po4
   2    2c44.fd96.8277    DYNAMIC     Po4

   2    d89d.6723.4ea6    DYNAMIC     Po4
   2    d89d.6723.4ea7    DYNAMIC     Po4
mdscisco01#


After the change, Gi1/0/7 is set to VLAN 2:

!
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/5                # Needs to be removed.  Cable plugged into 1/0/7 instead.
 switchport access vlan 2
 switchport mode access
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/6
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/7
 switchport access vlan 2
 switchport mode access

!
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/8
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/9
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/10
 switchport access vlan 2
 switchport mode access
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/11
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/12
!

Verify the mac address-table above on both switches:


mdscisco02#show mac address-table | include 4ea
   2    d89d.6723.4ea4   dynamic ip,other              GigabitEthernet1/12
   2    d89d.6723.4ea5   dynamic ip                    Port-channel4
   2    d89d.6723.4ea6   dynamic ip,other              GigabitEthernet1/13
   2    d89d.6723.4ea7   dynamic ip,other              GigabitEthernet1/15
mdscisco02#show mac address-table | include 827
   2    2c44.fd96.8274   dynamic ip,other              Port-channel4
   2    2c44.fd96.8275   dynamic ip,ipx,other          GigabitEthernet1/14
   2    2c44.fd96.8276   dynamic ip,ipx,other          GigabitEthernet1/11
   2    2c44.fd96.8277   dynamic ip,ipx,other          GigabitEthernet1/16

   2    d89d.6723.4ea6    DYNAMIC     Po4

   2    2c44.fd96.8277    DYNAMIC     Po4
mdscisco01#


Verify on the OS itself that instead of this:

[root@mdskvm-p05 ~]# ping 10.0.0.73
PING 10.0.0.73 (10.0.0.73) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 10.0.0.72 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable

a proper reply is seen instead:

[root@mdskvm-p05 network-scripts]# ping 10.0.0.73
PING 10.0.0.73 (10.0.0.73) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.0.0.73: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.295 ms

This was part of the issue but it still didn't fully resolve it.  For the final fix, please see the no echo reply post.

Regards,
GM
