Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

Appears policy routes are enabled .
--------------------------------------
SL8500> network print
Host Name: SL8500
Gateway:
2B IP Address: 189.14.102.50
2B Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
2B MAC Address: 00:10:4F:0A:CD:EC

2A IP Address: 189.14.101.50
2A Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
2A MAC Address: 00:10:4F:0A:CD:ED
COMPLETED

SL8500> network ip policy status

  2A:
  Policy Rule: ENABLED

  2B:
  Policy Rule: ENABLED
--------------------------------------

....Take a look at Doc ID 1322373.1. I am not 100 % certain this still applies as it mentions that this will be fixed in version 8.x (which you are at) but it could be that it is not fixed yet at your level.

CLI ping can be reached to gateway but not to host using policy route.
We do not have any problem for HLI transactions between SL8500 and HSCs.
All HLI packets are transmitted without any problem with policy route configurations.

SL8500> network ip policy route show dev 2A
189.14.21.1 via 189.14.101.254 dev 2A

SL8500> ping 189.14.101.254
PING 189.14.101.254 (189.14.101.254): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 189.14.101.254: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=2.8 ms
--- 189.14.101.254 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 2.8/2.8/2.8 ms

SL8500> ping 189.14.21.1
PING 189.14.21.1 (189.14.21.1): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Network is unreachable

 

Cause

Missing additional routing table.

 

Solution

Configure additional routing information or default gateway.

Policy routes apply when responding to traffic - not generating traffic as in this case.

Solution : Added default gateway
Policy route DOES apply ONLY responding packets. Therefore ping (sending packet) DOES NOT use policy route table. As the result, “Network is unreachable” message is shown.

BugDB : 16102464 cli ping does not work beyond router.
