No ping From Switch to PC

Oliv — Tue, 31 Aug 2021 17:56:06 GMT

Hello everyone

Currently in charge of managing an old network.

My equipment is Switch Extreme Summit X250e.

Version OS :

Primary ver: 12.5.4.5
Secondary ver: 12.5.4.5
patch1-20
Config Selected: primary.cfg
Config Booted: primary.cfg
primary.cfg Created by ExtremeXOS version 12.5.4.5

I want to download new configurations(.xsf) to swich with TFTP

My PC is connected via the console port (front panel) with teraterm + MTMG network jack (back panel).

The network conf of my PC is as follows:

IPv4. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .: 10.10.10.11 (preferred)
Subnet Mask. . . . . . . . 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway. . . . . . . . .:

The Switch Network Conf is as follows:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADMIN 25 172.25.0.207 /16 ----------------- ANY 0 /2 VR-Default
DATA 10 --------------------------------------------- ANY 0 /26 VR-Default
Default 1 --------------------------------------------- ANY 0 /0 VR-Default
Mgmt 4095 10.10.10.10 /24 ----------------- ANY 1 /1 VR-Mgmt
VOIP 100 ------------------------------------------ ANY 0 /26 VR-Default

I apply the procedures found on this site but

Ping pc => Switch = OK
Ping Switch => PC = Nok

Switch summit # ping 10.10.10.11
Ping(ICMP) 10.10.10.11: 4 packets, 8 data bytes, interval 1 second(s).
Packet transmit error; Destination unreachable

they are the minimum configuration for swsitch and PC to communicate??
Is there a routing table to configure? if so how to configure it with the mgmt port?

I’ve been looking for solutions, but nothing works.

thank you in advance for your answers

Hi Oliv,

In XOS, the command to add a Default Gateway for the Management VR is as following:

configure iproute add default <your default gateway> vr “VR-Mgmt”

Best Regards,

Simon

You don’t need to configure a default-gateway for a directly connected device.

@Oliv can you try the following command

ping vr vr-mgmt 10.10.10.11

HI I try

ping vr vr-mgmt 10.10.10.11

Switch summit # ping vr vr-mgmt 10.10.10.11
Ping(ICMP) 10.10.10.11: 4 packets, 8 data bytes, interval 1 second(s).
16 bytes from 10.10.10.11: icmp_seq=0 ttl=128 time=0.944 ms
16 bytes from 10.10.10.11: icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=1.894 ms

I applied the TFTP procedure to backup and restore the switch summit = it works perfectly.
This is on your advice.

A huge thank you to you .
