How do I turn Routing off on 6024?
Sorry for the simple question. Routing is turned on by default on the 6024. I have set up the 6024 with 3 different VLAN's
VLAN1 192.168.10.0
VLAN2 192.168.50.0
VLAN3 192.168.250.0
The 6024 switch is routing accross these VLAN's, but I do not want it to, I want to maintain these as completely seperate individual LAN's.
I could find lots of documentation on setting up routing but none on turning routing off for the complete switch.
Thanks in advance,

If you just want to create L2 VLANS, then you need to go into vlan database mode, at the configuration prompt type "vlan database", you can then create your VLANS in this mode. When you type "interface vlan 3" and assign it an IP address what you were actually doing is creating layer3 interfaces for your VLANS, since you do not want to route between your VLANS then just remove these interfaces.
Hope this helps

Thank you for the quick reply. We are used to assigning an IP address to VLAN 1 on the 5324's so we assumed we could do the same on the 6024's, but we did not realize the consequences.
I do just want to create L2 VLAN's, but I have two further questions.
I assigned an IP address to VLAN 1 so that I could remotely manage the switch using the Web management Interface. I did this by typing:
console(config) # interface VLAN 1
console(config-if) # ip address 192.168.10.20 255.255.255.0
This is confirmed as if I look at "Router-Global Routing Parameters - IP Forwarding" there is a "Destination IP Address" showing as "192.168.10.0"
First question is how do I specifically get rid of this entry so that the switch is only L2?
If I remove the IP address how can I remotely manage the switch from my desktop?

If you want to manage the switch remotely then you have to assign the switch an IP address. Many customers will create a seperate management VLAN.
For example, create vlan 100, assign this the management ip address of your choice. Any port you then add to this VLAN will be able to manage the switch, all of your user traffic could then by placed into a seperate L2 VLAN, for example VLAN 200, any traffic in VLAN 200 would not be able to manage the switch.
In summary, to manage the switch remotely you must have an IP address assigned to one of your VLANS, and your management stations must be a member of that VLAN.
Hope this helps

Thanks Adam,
You answered my second question very well, but missed the first.
How do I get rid of the IP address already assigned to a VLAN?
This switch is already in production and I can not do a reset. I have looked through the Web Management Interface and also the CLI commands and cannot find a way to remove (clear) the IP Address from a VLAN to stop it from routing.
