Power Connect 5324 question on simple access

Hi,

What model Sonicwall is it? Is there a default gateway on the switch and is it the same as the one on the Sonicwall? Is the switchport mode on the interface to the Sonicwall set in access mode, passing untagged traffic or in trunk mode passing tagged traffic?Are you using the default VLAN 1 or did you create a separate VLAN? If you create a static route from the 5324 to the Sonicwall does that work? 

Hello Josh

It is an NSA 3500 and the switch does have a default gateway of 172.16.10.2 which is the interface on the Sonicwall. I have the port to the sonicwall set in access mode and I created a new VLAN 10 for this. I cannot create a static route I believe this is just a layer 2 switch

Hi Josh

As you can see it is pretty basic

sh run


spanning-tree mode rstp
interface ethernet g24
switchport mode trunk
exit
vlan database
vlan 10
exit
interface range ethernet g(1-23)
switchport access vlan 10
exit
interface ethernet g24
switchport trunk allowed vlan add 10
exit
interface vlan 10
name ***WEBSENSE***
exit
interface vlan 10
ip address 172.16.10.1 255.255.255.0
exit
ip default-gateway 172.16.10.2

Are these new configurations or were there existing ones? Can you post the configuration of the interfaces? 

That is a basic config, so it is odd that it isn't able to ping the firewall, as the other devices on the switch can ping each other, and like you said it is a layer 2 so it is using MAC addresses and not IP addresses. Do the computers that can't ping the firewall have their default gateway set to 172.16.10.2?

No they are set to the IP of the VLAN on the switch, what is odd is I cannot Ping the Sonicwall interface from the switch and they are directly connected

Try setting one to 172.16.10.2  and see if it is able to ping then. 

The following is all true right?

172.16.10.1 can ping 172.16.10.10

172.16.10.1 can ping the corporate network on the other side of the Sonicwall

172.16.10.10 can ping 172.16.10

172.16.10.10 can't ping 172.16.10.2  or anything behind it

172.16.10.1 can't ping 172.16.10.2 

172.16.10.2 can't ping 172.16.10.10

I agree that there is not a nic or cable issue as some pings work. What happens if you bypass the switch and connect the server to the Sonicwall directly?

Hello again Josh

I did so and same issue, However from the switch I can ping across the firewall to my corporate network, I just cannot get to the lone server sitting behind the switch it is so odd. I can actually ping from the switch to the server though so I assume it is not a cable or server NIC. From the Server I can ping the gateway but nothing more

Josh

All that is correct EXCEPT

172.16.10.1 (switch) CAN ping 172.16.10.2 (sonicwall interface)

I don't know I have not tried that, Let me see
