X590 unable to ping certain host

X590 unable to ping certain host

Hello, 

i really need some help here. i am replacing a x460 stack with a x590 stack, i cut in new 590 stack but was unable to ping some gear on a subnet. very odd issue here. i have 66 vlans, loaded with traffic, i am using OSPF. PIM  and L2 routing where and how we want network to run. so after cutting to the 590’s i notice my Adtran equipment a DSLAM could not respond to a Adtran Mgmt server in another exchange.

after modifying iproutes etc and trouble shooting, the end results is the cabinet with address 10.100.145.10 can’t ping 10.100.144.50.. very odd here that i can ping other host on 10.100.144.xx it is like the 10.100.144.50 was blacklisted. we dont have any ACL’s or any black list. when i cut back to the 460’s all traffic was fine. Ipforwarding is enabled globally. i worked at this pretty hard before cutting back to the 460’s. it makes no sense to me that the 590’s would not route the specific host address.  i just so happen to cut in another set of 590’s. there  i had to change my iproute from a mgmt subnet to a first hop subnet.. very odd. i also tried changing the route on this config and did not help any. i even just removed iprouting and went OSPF.

i have setup a LAB environment to duplicate the issue, from the ADTRAN to a PC sitting on a similar subnet i can ping the GW but not a PC.

it turns out ,, i had the firewall disabled for private, but did not firewall disabled for Domain, the Domain would not allow ping across subnets. i still have a network issue, or atleast night of cut, i was trying reproduce the issue. seems i will just have to place the 590’s in service, if issue persist. and is same issue as before, i will engage TAC. thanks for chiming in, BTW, google solved this for me, sorta.. found others   not pinging across subnets.. using all kinds of equipment.

The screenshot is from the client with IP 10.100.123.3? Then it could be the following:

  • windows sends the icmp reply via the wrong interface, which would explain why it isn’t in the wireshark log. Were you connected via cable and via wifi?
  • windows firewall (or similar software) is blocking the icmp requests. This explains why it is seen on the interface, but since it doesn’t get processed any further, there is no reply

Best regards
Stefan

wireshark shows a ping request 8810 does not see response.

Thanks, Stefan for your reply, i have a open ticket with Adtran vendor asking that very question.

however i have a PC windows 10 attached to x590 10.100.123.3 i can ping PC from x590 but not from 8810.. very odd..

This doesn’t have to be an issue with the X590 but can also be an issue with the end-system (10.100.144.50). Don’t know what kind of devices these are but:

  • is it possible that there are static arp entries on this end-system? (for the default gateway; which resolves to the MAC-address of the X460)
  • Can you use wireshark on the end-system? If not, can you do a port-mirror and use wireshark?
  • Can you disconnect 10.100.144.50 from the network, give your client this IP-Address and then check if everything works? If yes, then you can be sure that the X590 does not “blacklist” this IP-address. 🙂
