I have a L3 switch. Port 1 and port 2 of the switch are added to VLAN 30 and an IP address (30.0.0.1) is assigned to it.

Port1 and port2 are connected to Host1 and Host2 respectively. Host 1 and Host2 are assigned with IP as below

L3 swtich port1 (VLAN 30) --- Host 1 (30.0.0.10)

L3 swtich port2 (VLAN 30) --- Host 2 (30.0.0.20)

Now I am trying to ping host 2 from host 1. Host 1 is sending ARP request for 30.0.0.20 to the switch, In Linux of the switch for VLAN 30, I can see the ARP request, but I don't see reply or anything, I guess the Linux is just dropping the packet.

My expectation is to ping the Host 2 from Host 1, Is there anything I am missing there.

I am capturing the packets on tcpdump for the interface Vlan30, So I am getting only the tagged packet. I don't see any ARP request on Host 2. But still I am able to ping 30.0.0.1 from both hosts.

In my HOST 1 & 2, I have ARP learnt for 30.0.0.1 and default gw is 30.0.0.1. But when I initiate ping for 30.0.0.20 from Host 1(30.0.0.10), it is initiating ARP for 30.0.0.20.

  • Check physical layer, check your vlan tagging. Is it enabled in the vlan? Do the hosts align? Back to basics.

    Can you see the request on Host 2? Are you using tcpdump or wireshark?

  • Is the routing activated on the switch ? See the routing table on each element.

  • Can either host ping the switch?

  • Can you ping the switch itself (ie: 30.0.0.1) from either or both of the hosts? Can you inspect the switch's address tables? see if the MAC addresses of the hosts are in it.
