Ping from Router

Simple question I hope!

What would stop a router from being able to ping anything?

I can not ping any IP addresses from my router, but other than that it seems to be working fine.

Here is my config:

Router#sh run

Access List 102 states:

access-list 102 permit ip 10.10.10.0 0.0.0.255 any

There is an implied deny all after that line. You would need to add an line to the access list to say permit icmp 10.10.10.0 0.0.0.255 any.

You should also see the ping getting denied. I see that you are syslogging to 2 machines on the inside of your network. You can use syslog to see where the icmp packets are getting dropped. You would see an entry in the log similar to this:

Dec 30 00:00:36 xxx.xxx.71.2 606725: 6w2d: %SEC-6-IPACCESSLOGDP: list internet-serial denied icmp 63.251.126.68 -> xxx.xxx.xxx.5 (8/0), 1 packet

Remember, syslog is your friend.
 
Can't say for sure just looking at your configs, but remember that unless you do an extended ping, the source IP of your ping will be the outgoing interface address. Sometimes it is necessary that you specify the source address (must be one of the router interfaces). And, of course, the target of the echo request must know a route back to that source address to properly formulate an ICMP reply.

rseals,

The access list was related to NAT and not applied to any interface. Also, when IP is permitted, ICMP is also permitted by default. You can specifically turn off ICMP and still have IP on, but the default is that ICMP is an integral part of IP and the two are considered to be one and the same.

Regards,

Scott

 
Thanks I'll give those thoughts a try. I'm not sure changing the NAT ACL will do it but I'll try.
 
I don't think changing the NAT ACLs will do anything either. But just be mindful of what IP address your outgoing interface winds up getting and make sure that your target has a route back to that IP. With your address negotiation, strange unexpected things can sometimes happen.
 
What are you trying to ping first of all. A local subnet a remote subnet? The first thing you need to do is a sh ip route and see if the network you are trying to ping is in the table. I don't see any routing protocols in your config. You do have a default route out your dialer interface but whatever you are pinging needs to have a route back to you. If you are pinging from your local ether interface you need to verify the ipaddress, gateway and subnet mask of the workstation/server on that interface.

show ip route and show ip arp are your friends. Make sure that whatever you are trying to ping knows how to get back to you.
