Force10 S25N is not routing. Please help.

Hi,

I have a stack of Force10 switches that I am trying to use for Layer3.  From the documentation it appears that I only need to assign ip addresses to my VLANS and that will put them into Layer3 mode, and they they will begin passing traffic.  Unfortunately for me this is not working.  I am set up this way:

Net 1. vlan 2      Internet x.x.x.123/28 gateway x.x.x.113

Net 2. vlan 300  Internal 10.0.2.37/24

Host A. 10.0.2.48 gateway 10.0.2.37

from Host A

Ping 10.0.2.37 success

Ping x.x.x.123 success

ping x.x.x.113 fail

My routing table is very simple:

Gateway of last resort is x.x.x.113 to network 0.0.0.0

       Destination        Gateway                         Dist/Metric Last Change
       -----------                -------                             ----------- -----------
 *S    0.0.0.0/0             via x.x.x113, Vl 2             1/0    04:51:54
  C    10.0.2.0/24        Direct, Vl 300                    0/0        5w5d
  C    x.x.x.112/28       Direct, Vl 2                        0/0    05:44:26


I have verfied connectivity from the switch to each network, and can ping hosts on both from the switch, but from Host A I cannot get past the switch.  I seem to be missing something basic here.

I tried using another private network instead of running to my provider assigned /28, as I have had spanning tree issues with them prior to this ticket.  I created a new vlan on 192.168.107.x and was able to route between that and my  10.0.2.x network using the stack.  Always it comes down to STP it seems.

Here is the result of a trace from Host A to a host on the Internet subnet that should answer:

root@hosta#traceroute 205.234.16.117

traceroute to x.x.x.117 (x.x.x.117), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets

1  f10.gcc.ecm (10.0.2.37)  0.913 ms  1.052 ms  1.244 ms

2  * * *

From here it times out the next 30 hops.
