Destination host unreachable cisco packet tracer как исправить

Here we are going to see ping responses network unreachable,request timed out,success with a simple topology by adding static route on each router step by step.

Step 1:Create a topology like this

Step 2:Routers only knows directly connected network,there is no static route added.Now, ping default gate way 10.0.0.1  from Host 10.0.0.10. we will get reply from 10.0.0.1.Because router knows 10.0.0.0 network.

ping 10.0.0.1

PC>ping 10.0.0.1


Pinging 10.0.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:


Reply from 10.0.0.1: bytes=32 time=157ms TTL=255
Reply from 10.0.0.1: bytes=32 time=16ms TTL=255
Reply from 10.0.0.1: bytes=32 time=29ms TTL=255
Reply from 10.0.0.1: bytes=32 time=31ms TTL=255


Ping statistics for 10.0.0.1:
    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
    Minimum = 16ms, Maximum = 157ms, Average = 58ms

Step 3:Now ping host 40.0.0.10,we will get

PC>ping 40.0.0.10


Pinging 40.0.0.10 with 32 bytes of data:


Reply from 10.0.0.1: Destination host unreachable.
Reply from 10.0.0.1: Destination host unreachable.
Reply from 10.0.0.1: Destination host unreachable.
Reply from 10.0.0.1: Destination host unreachable.


Ping statistics for 40.0.0.10:
    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),

Because Router R1 doesn’t know about the network 40.0.0.0.So we will get reply from 10.0.0.1 destination host unreachable.Check rouing table of R1 by giving command

Step 4:Add static route to Router R1 for the network 40.0.0.0

R1(config)#ip route 40.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 20.0.0.2

Now,Packets that came to Router R1 for the network 40.0.0.0 will be forwarded to 20.0.0.2

Check Routing table of R1 by giving command,

R1#show ip route
Codes: C — connected, S — static, I — IGRP, R — RIP, M — mobile, B — BGP
       D — EIGRP, EX — EIGRP external, O — OSPF, IA — OSPF inter area
       N1 — OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 — OSPF NSSA external type 2
       E1 — OSPF external type 1, E2 — OSPF external type 2, E — EGP
       i — IS-IS, L1 — IS-IS level-1, L2 — IS-IS level-2, ia — IS-IS inter area
       * — candidate default, U — per-user static route, o — ODR
       P — periodic downloaded static route


Gateway of last resort is not set


C    10.0.0.0/8 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0
C    20.0.0.0/8 is directly connected, Serial2/0
S    40.0.0.0/8 [1/0] via 20.0.0.2

Step 5:Now ping ip address  20.0.0.1,that is connected to Router R1 by giving command

We get reply from 20.0.0.1 because router R1 knows directly connected network.

Step 6:Now ping ip address 20.0.0.2

PC>ping 20.0.0.2


Pinging 20.0.0.2 with 32 bytes of data:


Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.


Ping statistics for 20.0.0.2:
    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),

Router R2 doesn’t know about the network 10.0.0.0.So we can’t get reply from R2.Now add static route to router R2 for network 10.0.0.0  .Check routing table of R2

R2#show ip route
Codes: C — connected, S — static, I — IGRP, R — RIP, M — mobile, B — BGP
       D — EIGRP, EX — EIGRP external, O — OSPF, IA — OSPF inter area
       N1 — OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 — OSPF NSSA external type 2
       E1 — OSPF external type 1, E2 — OSPF external type 2, E — EGP
       i — IS-IS, L1 — IS-IS level-1, L2 — IS-IS level-2, ia — IS-IS inter area
       * — candidate default, U — per-user static route, o — ODR
       P — periodic downloaded static route


Gateway of last resort is not set


C    20.0.0.0/8 is directly connected, Serial2/0
C    30.0.0.0/8 is directly connected, Serial3/

Step 9:We get reply from 20.0.0.2 as Destination host unreachable.So ,we have to add 40.0.0.0 network to R2

R2(config)#ip route 40.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 30.0.0.2

Step 10:  Ping 30.0.0.1 and see what we get,

Step 11:  Add static route to Router R1 for the network 30.0.0.0

R1(config)#ip route 30.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 20.0.0.2

Check Routing table of Router R1,

S    40.0.0.0/8 [1/0] via 20.0.0.2

Now , ping 30.0.0.1,

Step 12:  Ping 30.0.0.2 and see what we will get,

Router R3 doesn’t know about the network 10.0.0.0.

Step 13:Add network 10.0.0.0 &20.0.0.0 by using static route command.

R3(config)#ip route 20.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 30.0.0.1

Now ,ping 40.0.0.10

PC>ping 40.0.0.10


Pinging 40.0.0.10 with 32 bytes of data:


Reply from 40.0.0.10: bytes=32 time=125ms TTL=125
Reply from 40.0.0.10: bytes=32 time=110ms TTL=125
Reply from 40.0.0.10: bytes=32 time=110ms TTL=125
Reply from 40.0.0.10: bytes=32 time=125ms TTL=125


Ping statistics for 40.0.0.10:
    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
    Minimum = 110ms, Maximum = 125ms, Average = 117ms

Finally we get reply from 40.0.0.10 .

Step 14:  Now go host 40.0.0.10 and ping host 10.0.0.10 and check whether we can ping or not..

Three types of reply we got

Reply

Destination host unreachable

Request timed out

In Router,

For,Reply-     !!!!!

       Destination host unreachable-   UUUUU

       Request timed out-     …….

Do you know the most difficult part of the job of a network engineer? You are responsible for every issue related to networking in your company. Even though everything works fine, someone will come up with a complaint, and it is on our head to fix it.

While I was working as a network engineer trainee, I received a call from the development section. The manager on Duty in the development section was angry and said that the network was not working.

When I asked him about the issue, he said the Internet is just fine, but one of his teammates received an error while pinging to a device in his subnet.

His teammate received the Destination Host Unreachable reply while he tried to ping to another computer in his section.

The manager on Duty demanded an explanation for the Destination Host Unreachable. I explained to him the reasons to receive Destination Host Unreachable error messages with examples. If you have not seen this error message before, have a look at the screenshot attached below.

What Is The Reason to Receive Destination Host Unreachable Error Message?

If you want a one-sentence answer, look at the statement in the table.

Let me explain with the example I showed above. When I sent Ping packets to the IP address 192.168.225.45 from my computer, it looked at the ARP table stored in my PC to fetch the MAC address associated with the destination IP Address.

You know the basic rule of network communication. You cannot send packets to an IP Address before finding the MAC address (Physical Address) of the destination device.

ARP table shows the MAC address of the devices assigned with the specific IP Address.

If you do not know this concept, there are tons of tutorials available about Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) on the Internet.

My computer could not find the ARP Address mapped to the IP Address 192.168.225.45 in the ARP table.

C:systosys>ping 192.168.225.45

Pinging 192.168.225.45 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.225.47: Destination host unreachable.
Reply from 192.168.225.47: Destination host unreachable.
Reply from 192.168.225.47: Destination host unreachable.
Reply from 192.168.225.47: Destination host unreachable.

Ping statistics for 192.168.225.45:
    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),

C:systosys>Destination Host Unreachable

So it displayed Reply from 192.168.225.47: Destination host unreachable as the response.

How to Fix Destination Host Unreachable?

If you do not know how to fix the reply from the x.x.x.x destination host unreachable message, follow the instructions provided below.

1. Flush the ARP Cache

   The first step to troubleshoot the Reply from 192.168.225.47: Destination host unreachable error is by deleting all entries in the ARP table on your computer.

   • Open the Command Prompt as Administrator
     1. Type cmd on the Windows Search
     2. Right Click on the Command Prompt from the Search Window
     3. Click on the Run as Administrator option

   • Type the following command and press enter

     netsh interface ip delete arpcache

   • Try ping the same IP address again and check for the issue.
2. Run a Traceroute

   If the problem persists, you should run a traceroute to pinpoint the problem location.

   1. Open Command Prompt
   2. Type the following command and press the enter key.

      tracert 192.168.225.45

   3. Check the result to understand the reason for the Destination Host Unreachable message.

      

   Why do I receive the ping reply Destination Host Unreachable? The traceroute result shows there is no such destination device.

3. Disable the Firewall on your PC

   In my experience, some users said faulty Firewall settings caused the Destination Host Unreachable error. So, I suggest you turn off the firewall on your laptop and check for the issue.

4. Check the Status of the Destination Device and Test the Connection

   If the destination device is in your reach, make sure the device is on. Make sure the network connection is fine.

   You may unplug and replug the network cable to verify the connection status.

How to Check if Destination a Host Unreachable Error is Resolved?

It is very simple. You need to ping the same IP Address.

If the error is at the side of the IP Address, you should try to ping a different IP Address or domain name.

For example, check the command below to test whether the Destination a Host Unreachable Error fixed or not.

Objectives

Part 1: Use Ping Command for Basic Network Testing

Part 2: Use Tracert and Traceroute Commands for Basic Network Testing

Part 3: Troubleshoot the Topology

Background / Scenario

Ping and traceroute are two tools that are critical when testing TCP/IP network connectivity. Ping is a network administration utility that is used to test the reachability of a device on an IP network. This utility also measures the time it takes for messages that are sent from the originating host to a destination host and back again.

The traceroute utility is a network diagnostic tool for displaying the path or route of a packet, and for measuring the transit delays of packets travelling over an IP network.

In this Packet Tracer Physical Mode (PTPM) activity, the ping and traceroute commands are examined, and command options are explored to modify the command behavior. Cisco devices and PCs are used in this activity for command exploration. The available options for the ping and tracert commands are limited in Packet Tracer. The necessary Cisco device configurations are provided in this activity.

Instructions

Part 1:  Use the Ping Command for Basic Network Testing

In this part of the activity, use the ping command to verify end-to-end connectivity. Ping operates by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request packets to the target host and then waiting for an ICMP response. It can record the round-trip time and any packet loss or routing loops.

IP packets have a limited lifetime on the network. IPv4 packets use an 8 bit Time to Live (TTL). IPv6 packets use a Hop Limit header field value. The TTL and the Hop Limit specify the maximum number of Layer 3 hops that can be traversed on the path to their destination. Each host on a network will set the 8 bit value with a maximum value of 255.

Each time an IP packet arrives at a Layer 3 network device, this value is reduced by one before it is forwarded to the destination. If this value eventually reaches zero before reaching the destination, the IP packet is discarded.

You will examine the results of the ping command and the additional ping options that are available in Packet Tracer PCs and Cisco devices.

Step 1:  Test network connectivity to R1 using PC-A.

All the pings from PC-A to other devices in the topology should be successful. If they are not, check the topology and the cabling, as well as the configuration of the Cisco devices and the PCs.

1. From PC-A, ping the default gateway using the IPv4 address (GigabitEthernet 0/0/1 interface of R1).

Open command prompt

C:> ping 192.168.1.1

Pinging 192.168.1.1 with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=255

Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=255

Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=255

Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=255

Ping statistics for 192.168.1.1:

    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),

Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:

    Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms

In this example, four ICMP requests that have 32 bytes each, were sent. The responses were received in less than one millisecond with no packet loss. The transmission and reply time can increase as the ICMP requests and responses are processed by more devices during the journey to and from the destination.

This can also be done using the IPv6 address of the default gateway (GigabitEthernet 0/0/1 interface of R1).

C:> ping 2001:db8:acad:1::1

Pinging 2001:db8:acad:1::1 with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 2001:DB8:ACAD:1::1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=255

Reply from 2001:DB8:ACAD:1::1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=255

Reply from 2001:DB8:ACAD:1::1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=255

Ping statistics for 2001:DB8:ACAD:1::1:

    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),

Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:

    Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms

1. From PC-A, ping the addresses listed in the following table and record the average round trip time and IPv4 TTL, or IPv6 Hop Limit.

Blank Line – no additional information

*Answers Note: The average round trip time was increased if the message “Request timed out” was displayed during the first ICMP request. ARP caused the delay, and this resulted in packet loss.

Step 2:  Perform pings from S1 to External.

From S1, attempt to ping ISP and External using IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Question:

What are the ping results from S1 to ISP and External?

Type your answers here.

The pings were successful to ISP G0/0/0 interface. The pings were unsuccessful to ISP G0/0/1 interface and External NIC.

Close command prompt

Part 2:  Use Tracert and Traceroute Commands for Basic Network Testing

The commands for tracing routes can be found on PCs and network devices. For a Windows-based PC, the tracert command uses ICMP messages to trace the path to the destination. The traceroute command uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) datagrams for tracing routes to the destination for Cisco devices and other Unix-like PCs.

In this part, you will examine the traceroute commands and determine the path that a packet travels to the destination. You will use the tracert command from the PCs and the traceroute command from the Cisco devices. You will also examine the options that are available for fine tuning the traceroute results.

Step 1:  From PC-A, use the tracert command to External.

1. At the command prompt of PC-A, type tracert 209.165.200.226.

Open a command prompt

C:> tracert 209.165.200.226

Tracing route to 209.165.200.226 over a maximum of 30 hops:

  1    *     *       1 ms    192.168.1.1

  2    *     0 ms    0 ms    64.100.0.1

  3    0 ms  *       0 ms    64.100.0.1

  4    *     11 ms   *       Request timed out.

  5    0 ms  *       0 ms    64.100.0.1

Control-C

^C

C:>

Note: You can stop the trace route by pressing Ctrl-C.

The tracert result indicates the path from PC-A to External is from PC-A to R1 to ISP and is unable to arrive at External. The tracert results indicate an issue at the ISP router.

1. Repeat the tracert command using the IPv6 address. At the command prompt, enter tracert 2001:db8:acad:200::226.

Close command prompt

Step 2:  From S1, use the traceroute command to External.

From S1, type traceroute 209.165.200.226 or traceroute 2001:db8:acad:200::226.

Note: To stop the traceroute, press Ctrl-Shift-6.

Open a configuration window

S1# traceroute 209.165.200.226

Type escape sequence to abort.

Close configuration window

The traceroute command has additional options. You can use the ? or just press Enter after typing traceroute at the prompt to explore these options.

Note: The available options are limited in Packet Tracer.

The following link provides more information regarding the ping and traceroute commands for a Cisco device:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1831/products_tech_note09186a00800a6057.shtml

Part 3:  Correct the network connectivity issue at ISP.

Step 1:  Access the network location where the connectivity issue is occurring.

From the previous steps, you had determined that there is an issue at the ISP router using the ping and traceroute commands. You have remote SSH access to all the network devices using username admin and password class.

Open command prompt

1. From the terminal of S1, SSH into the ISP router using the G0/0/0 interface to correct the problem.

C:> ssh -l admin 64.100.0.1

1. Use the show commands to examine the running configurations for the ISP router.

ISP# show ip interface brief

Interface              IP-Address      OK? Method Status                Protocol

GigabitEthernet0/0/0   64.100.0.1      YES manual up                    up

 negotiation auto

 speed auto

 ipv6 address 2001:DB8:ACAD:201::225/128

<output omitted>

The outputs of the show run and show ip interface brief commands indicate that the GigabitEthernet 0/0/1 interface is up/up but that it is configured with an incorrect IP address.

1. Correct the issues you found. From the command prompt on PC-A, copy and paste the following configuration into the ISP router to correct the issue in the SSH session to the ISP router.

configure terminal

interface g0/0/1

 no ip address 192.168.8.1 255.255.255.0

 ip address 209.165.200.225 255.255.255.224

 no ipv6 address 2001:db8:acad:201::225/64

 ipv6 address 2001:db8:acad:200::225/64

 ipv6 address fe80::225 link-local

no shutdown

1. Exit the SSH session when finished.

Close command prompt

Step 2:  Verify end–to–end connectivity.

From the PC-A command prompt, use the ping and tracert commands to verify end-to-end connectivity to the external server at 209.165.200.226 and 2001:db8:acad:200::226.

Part 4:  Use Extended Ping Commands

Step 1:  Use extended ping commands on PC-A.

The default ping command sends four requests of 32 bytes each. It waits 4,000 milliseconds (4 seconds) for each response to be returned before displaying the “Request timed out” message. The ping command can be fine-tuned for troubleshooting a network.

Open command prompt

1. At the command prompt, type ping and press Enter.

C:> ping

Packet Tracer PC Ping

Usage: ping [-n count | -v TOS | -t ] target

1. Using the –t option, ping External to verify that External is reachable. The -t option will continuously ping the target until stopped. Use Ctrl+c to stop the ping sequence.

C:> ping –t 209.165.200.226

Pinging 209.165.200.226 with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 209.165.200.226: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=126

Reply from 209.165.200.226: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=126

1. To illustrate the results when a host is unreachable, shut down the GigabitEthernet 0/0/1 interface on the ISP router. From switch S1, SSH to the ISP G0/0/0 interface. Use the password class.

S1# ssh -l admin 64.100.0.1

1. Use the shutdown command to disable the GigabitEthernet 0/0/1 interface on the ISP router. command.

Reply from 209.165.200.226: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=126

Reply from 64.100.0.1: Destination host unreachable.

Reply from 64.100.0.1: Destination host unreachable.

While the network is functioning correctly, the ping command can determine whether the destination responded and how long it took to receive a reply from the destination. If a network connectivity problem exists, the ping command displays an error message.

1. Re-enable the GigabitEthernet 0/0/1 interface on the ISP router (using the no shutdown command) before moving onto the next step. After about 30 seconds, the ping should be successful again.

Reply from 64.100.0.1: Destination host unreachable.

Request timed out.

Request timed out.

Reply from 209.165.200.226: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=126

Reply from 209.165.200.226: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=126

1. Press Ctrl+c to stop the ping command.
2. The above steps can be repeated for the IPv6 address to obtain an ICMP error message.

Question:

What ICMP error messages did you receive?

Type your answers here.

Destination net unreachable, request timed out.

1. Enable the GigabitEthernet 0/0/1 interface on the ISP router (using the no shutdown command) before moving onto the next step. After about 30 seconds, the ping should be successful again.

Close command prompt

Step 2:  Test network connectivity from the R1 network using Cisco devices.

The ping command is also available on Cisco devices. In this step, the ping command is examined using R1 and S1.

1. From R1, ping External on the external network using the IP address of 209.165.200.226.

Open configuration window

R1# ping 209.165.200.226

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 209.165.200.226, timeout is 2 seconds:

!!!!!

Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/1 ms

The exclamation point (!) indicates that the ping was successful from R1 to External. The round trip takes an average of 1 ms with no packet loss, as indicated by a 100% success rate.

1. Because a local host table was configured on R1, you can ping Externalv4 on the external network using the hostname configured from R1.

R1# ping Externalv4

Question:

What is the IP address used?

Type your answers here.

209.165.200.226

1. In the privileged EXEC mode, there are more options available for the ping command. At the command line, type ping and press Enter. Use ipv6 as the protocol. Input 2001:db8:acad:200::226 or external for the target IPv6 address. Press Enter to accept the default value for other options.

R1# ping

Protocol [ip]: ipv6

Target IPv6 address: 2001:db8:acad:200::226

Repeat count [5]:

Datagram size [100]:

Timeout in seconds [2]:

Extended commands? [no]:

Sweep range of sizes? [no]:

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 2001:db8:acad:200::226, timeout is 2 seconds:

!!!!!

Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/1 ms

1. You can use an extended ping to observe where there is a network issue. Start the ping command to 209.165.200.226 with a repeat count of 50000. Then, shut down the GigabitEthernet 0/0/1 interface on the ISP router.

From the SSH session to ISP on switch S1, disable the GigabitEthernet 0/0/1 interface on ISP.

1. From the SSH session, enable the GigabitEthernet 0/0/1 interface on ISP after the exclamation points (!) have replaced by the letter U and periods (.). After about 30 seconds, the ping should be successful again. Press Ctrl+Shift+6 to stop the ping command.

The ping command is extremely useful when troubleshooting network connectivity. However, ping cannot indicate the location of a problem when a ping is not successful. The tracert (or traceroute) command can display network latency and path information.

Reflection Questions

1. What could prevent ping or traceroute responses from reaching the originating device beside network connectivity issues?

Type your answers here.

Firewall on the PCs, access list commands, routing issues, interface is down, network delay

1. If you ping a non-existent address on the remote network, such as 209.165.200.227, what is the message displayed by the ping command? What does this mean? If you ping a valid host address and receive this response, what should you check?

Type your answers here.

Request timed out or periods (.). This means that there was no response in the default time period. Some of the items you may check: router is down, destination host is down, return route to your device and latency of the response is not more than the default time period
