VLAN between CORE & EDGE Switches

Question

HI. I'm trying to setup a network for iDRAC access/connect using private IPs. I'm using  DELL Powerconnect switches for this setup. I have few switches and they are of 6200 series, 5200 series & 5300 series. I configured both CORE & EDGE switches. Also, have the VLAN trunk setup between CORE & EDGE. On the CORE switch things seems to be working fine, able to ping the VLANs IP address and node/PC connected directly on the CORE switch, as well as a node/PC connected on the EDGE switch. On the EDGE switch, able to ping the VLANs IP with 'ip default-gateway' & without 'ip default-gateway' does not ping VLANs IP). And ping completely does not work at all for both node/PC connected directly on the EDGE switch, as well as a node/PC connected on the CORE switch with and without 'ip default-gateway'. Need advice and guidance to solve this problem. Thanks Thomas

CORE#

tom.kl · Answer

Is the core switch the only switch with an IP address assigned to your iDRAC VLAN?

Yes, iDRAC VLAN IP address is assigned only on CORE switch.

The other Edge switches are in layer 2 mode and do not have an IP address assigned to the iDRAC VLAN?

Yes

Have tried with suggested config, but not successful in getting the EDGE switch ping the nodes/PCs
