Solved!
Go to SolutionLayer 3 Switch Configuration
Hi everyone,
Without going into to many details of my serious short comings and apparent lack of understanding how to read/interput manuals I was hoping for a little assistance.
Our company is attempting to save some money and looking towards some of the Dell PowerConnect line to do so.
I have a PowerConnect 6224 that I would like have act as my layer 3. I have a few 5524's that will all be my access layer switches. Below is what I'd like to accomplish:
- Create 6 routable vlans for 192.168.11.0/24 - 16/24
- Have a separate isolated switch management vlan - 192.168.10.0/24
- Have all vlans available on the 5524's (tagged between the 6224 and 5524's)
- Lastly, is there a way to assign an IP address to a physical interface on the 6224 or do I have to create a vlan and assign the interface to that vlan?
I'd post my config but in all honesty I just need to start from scratch.
I'm pretty disappointed that I needed post to the forum. My pride is in the garbage so go easy on me.
Thanks,
-John
Thanks for the reply Willy.
Interesting, it's mode general on the 6200 and trunk on the 5500 on tagged interfaces.
I was unable to assign an IP address directly to the 6200. My only options under the interface after issue IP are access-group, arp, dhcp, and igmp. I created a routed vlan and assigned that interface to that vlan so it is working.
I have all the above setup but still have one issue. When I have a workstation attached to the 5500 the only way I can reach it is if I use the switchport general allowed vlan add 10 untagged. I thought the correct syntax is switchport access vlan 10. The problem I see with the general command at the access layer is that it doesn't matter what vlan ID I add connectivity always works. Very confusing....
Thanks again for helping me through this.
-John

Hi,
I have the same problem, but i'm still getting the
"the static route will not take effect until a rouing interface belonging to the same subnet as the next hop IP is created and activated"
I moved managment to a different vlan, so that i can route vlan 1.
But you say this:
"I created a routed vlan and assigned that interface to that vlan so it is working."
How did you do that? Can you show me the config?

Create 6 routable vlans for 192.168.11.0/24 - 16/24
Creating VLANs
console> enable
console# config
console(config)# vlan database
console(config-vlan)# vlan 2
console(config-vlan)# exit
console(config)# interface vlan 2
console(config-if)# ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
console(config-if)# routing (enables routing on this vlan)
console(config-if)# name Marketing (whatever name you choose)
console(config-if)# end
Have a separate isolated switch management vlan - 192.168.10.0/24
console# config
console(config)# ip address 192.168.10.0 /24
Have all vlans available on the 5524's (tagged between the 6224 and 5524's)
Run this on the 6224:
console# configure
console(config)# interface ethernet XXX (whatever interface is connecting between the 6224 and 5524)
console(config-if)# switchport mode general
console(config-if)# switchport general allowed vlan add 100 tagged (Add a similar line for each VLAN that you have going over the connection)
console(config-if)# end
Run this on the 5524:
console# configure
console(config)# interface ethernet XXX (whatever interface is connecting between the 6224 and 5524)
console(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
console(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan add 100 tagged (Add a similar line for each VLAN that you have going over the connection)
console(config-if)# end
Lastly, is there a way to assign an IP address to a physical interface on the 6224 or do I have to create a vlan and assign the interface to that vlan?
console# configure
console(config)# interface ethernet XXX
console(config-if)# ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Hope this helps,
I'm sure there will be other questions, this will get a good start.
