Server not responding to ICMP requests

Hi,
I have 4 servers running on rocky linux at a datacenter in Chicago but one is not answering to ping requests.

Can you explain your subnet address of /32? That’s a single address, rather than a network. I’m just guessing here, but shouldn’t that be a /24 so that it can even see the gateway?

I edited the network, but still same issue, cannot ping ip

Double check the subnet mask for the 208.117.x.x address because it may not be /24 - ask your ISP or whoever provides you with the public IP address range. In which case, either the IP address is wrong, or the subnet mask. Also that interface must have a default gateway configured for it to work and reply to ping.

  • You need to assign 208.117.37.129/32 to f0 if this is your public interface. On f1, 192.168.1.105 is incorrect, it would need to be 192.168.1.0/24 or a VALID SUBNET.

  • You also need to turn on IP forwarding on this host if this is your gateway to your other hosts.

  • You will NOT be able to ping any of your hosts unless you assign IP addresses to your other hosts either statically or using DHCP and have a properly configured firewall setup.

  • If your ISP assigned you additional public IP addresses for each host, then you will need to use them in your setup instead of the private 192.168.1.0/24 addresses.

What do you mean? The 192.168.1.105/24 is a valid address config. It tells that the IP address of this interface is 192.168.1.105 and that the subnet is 192.168.1.0/24.


How does the config of this machine differ from configs of the others?

Who is trying to ping the machine? (From same subnet or from elsewhere?)
