Answer» If you discover that there is a problem with LAN CONNECTIVITY on a huge level, you should take the following actions to identify the root cause and resolve it: - Ping the destination IP if the destination and source have the same subnet mask.
- Otherwise, ping the router's gateway IP address if the destination is on a different subnet mask.
- If both pings fail, first verify the CONFIGURATION settings to see if the subnet mask and route to be taken to reach the target are properly defined in the routing table.
- Check if your source host can ping another hop in the LAN network other than the destination host or route to that once you've completed the configuration section and verified everything to be in order.
- There COULD be a variety of reasons why you are unable to ping another device. It could also be a SETUP problem, a physical connectivity problem, or a problem with REPETITIOUS IP address entry.
