  • 1.  cannot ping through vpn

    Hi Everyone,

     

    I have a EX-8208 as a core switch and I have multiple EX-4200 Virtual Chassis connected to this switch distributed throughout our buidling.  I have two vlans setup.  Vlan 100 (192.10.100.x) for our first floor and vlan 200 (192.10.200.x) for our second floor.

     

    I have a Microsoft vpn server (rras) configured on the second floor and when I connect to the vpn, I am able to ping all the hosts on the second floor but none on the first floor.

     

    A couple of things.

     

    1. yes, I have a route configured on the vpn to forward 192.10.100.x to the core switch.

    2. I can ping hosts from vlan 100 to vlan 200 and vice versa.

    3. sometimes, vpn clients CAN ping hosts on the first floor but it is not consistent.

     

    I know this sounds like the problem is on the vpn side but I want to make sure that I am not overlooking anything on the juniper side.  Any thoughts/ideas is greatly appreciated.

     

    Thanks.

    check the gateway on the pc you are vpned from. Create a static route on the the PC to the vlan you cannot ping and test it.
