Powerconnect 6248 Inter-VLAN routing to gateway

Hi,

Try setting the default gateway on the ESXi host to be on the same subnet as the VLAN it is on, not having it jump all the way to the router, have the default gateway be 10.0.0.1. The switch should then route it to the netgear.

using 10.0.0.1 didn't work

You can put the default gateway back to what it was, it seems like it routes to 192.168.15.55 fine, so it is getting to the right VLAN,  which is VLAN 1, which isn’t routable. You may want to move the internet VLAN to a different VLAN. Is the port from the 6224 to the negear a trunk port or an access port?

Just more info, I added a route on the Netgear router that looks like:

10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.15.55

I can ping VLAN 10 - 10.0.0.1 and VLAN 10.0.0.17 on the Dell PowerConnect but nothing behind the Dell PowerConnect

"Is the port from the 6224 to the negear a trunk port or an access port?"

As shown in the inital config, gi1/1 isn't configured.  I can't change the port type on the Netgear router side so if I made it a trunk then it would lose connection

Just to clarify what I mean by point 2.  If I try to create a VLAN that is on the same subnet as the subnet I use to connect to the switch I get the following error

console(config)#interface vlan 99

console(config-if-vlan99)#ip address 192.168.15.99 255.255.255.0

Subnet conflict between specified IP Address and current configuration.

All routing interfaces, service ports and network ports must be configured on

different subnets.

You will have to remove the other configuration first. , so that you don't get the conflict. On ethernet 1/g1 it is set as an access port, you can change the VLAN that it is on still and it will send untagged traffic on that VLAN. Using the command switchport access vlan 99

You also could leave it on VLAN 1 and just move the management VLAN with the command ip address vlan 99

1.  Can I change the default VLAN from 1 to something that is routable?

2. "You need to add another VLAN so the internet is not on VLAN 1"  

How could I do this if the Internet gateway (Netgear) is not VLAN aware?

In that case it is only passing untagged traffic on VLAN 1. VLAN 1 is not routable, so the return packets on the ping are being dropped because VLAN 1 won’t route back to VLAN 10. So you need to add another VLAN so the internet is not on VLAN 1. Then you can add the static route and not get “The specified Static Route Next Hop Router Address can't be in the same subnet as the service/network port”

Moving the default management VLAN 1 to VLAN 99 fixed my issue as shown www.dell.com/.../EN

As soon as I changed the default VLAN, everything routed as needed.  Thanks!

Thanks for your input but I don't believe you understood the issue at hand.  Your reply was not valid for this.

RFC 1918 addresses do not route to each other nor do they go out to the internet because they require NAT to talk to the outside world.

Your netgear home router isnt a vpn router and wont route and or NAT between

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has 
reserved the following three blocks of the IP address 
space for private internets:

10.0.0.0     -   10.255.255.255  (10/8 prefix)
172.16.0.0 -   172.31.255.255  (172.16/12 prefix)
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix)

 An enterprise that requests IP addresses for its external connectivity
   will never be assigned addresses from the blocks defined above.

   In order to use private address space, an enterprise needs to
   determine which hosts do not need to have network layer connectivity    outside the enterprise in the foreseeable future and thus could be classified as private. Such hosts will use the private address space defined above.  Private hosts can communicate with all other hosts inside the enterprise, both public and private. However, they cannot have IP connectivity to any host outside of the enterprise. While not having external (outside of the enterprise) IP connectivity private hosts can still have access to external services via mediating
   gateways (e.g., application layer gateways).

If you turn SSH back off does it start working again?

I turned it off, routing still isn't working on VLAN 1.  Any debugging commands you'd suggest?

Today, routing is no longer working.  The only change I've made since it was working was enabling SSH.

1.  I've plugged a laptop in directly to the switch and can't reach any of the routable VLANs configured on the switch

2. Below is the configuration showing I've made the management VLAN something other 1.

Question -

It appears now that VLAN 1 is not routing just like before.  What are some debugging commands I can use to confirm this? Or better yet, how can I fix it?
