Routing issues between N4064F's and N1524P's

I have a limited background in Routing.  Here is what I am trying to do.

The 2 N4064F's are my core stack. From there I break out to my other areas where I have stacks of N1524P's. The N1524P's are all connected through Fiber Optic LAGs with at least 2 connections back to the core.  There is also a router connected to the 136 network with an address of 192.168.143.65

The first issue is sending emails alerts from all stacks.  I ended up turning on router discovery and setting the OOB port of the core stack to 192.168.2.2  this allowed emails to get out from the core. 

I have tried multiple configurations on the other stacks and with the last changes I attempted I can tracert to the router but no further.  There is a route in the router from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.143.65 and the Vlan1 IP is 192.168.143.2 and Vlan2 IP is 192.168.2.3.  The only thing that caught my attention is that the router had Vlan8 for the 192.168.143.65 interface.

The second issue or maybe it is not really an issue, is I will need both Vlan1 and Vlan2 to go across the LAG interfaces.  I have found a few examples but I am not confident that it is exactly what I need to do.

Well, part of my confusion was on the OOB interface.  My understanding from the docs is that it was the only way to configure the switch.  I have that all corrected now.  As far as spanning tree goes right now, it is off because I am converting an old network over to fiber and I apparently had too many hops in the old way and spanning tree was completely stopping the core switches.  The only way to get them running again was to shut it down.  In my current configuration all other switches are connected direct to the core so I will not exceed the hops.

So if Vlan 1 is my untagged do I have to set Vlan 2 to tagged?

so I am working on the left switch and the core that is in my diagram.  I had the left switch preconfigured and added it into the system.  I ran the following command and it started pinging the switch using the 192.168.143.9 IP address.

interface Te1/0/47

channel-group 47 mode active

exit

interface Te2/0/47

channel-group 47 mode active

exit

interface port-channel 47

switchport mode trunk

switchport trunk allowed vlan add 2

exit

 

when I try to connect(computer to server) on the 192.168.2.0 network from the left switch to the core I can't connect.

I have ports 1 through 6 on the left switch for vlan2.  On the core switches I have ports 1 through 6 set for Vlan 2.  The IP for the computer is 192.168.2.200 and the server is 192.168.2.148

other than putting them into Vlan2, I have no other config yet.

ok, here is where I am at.  I have routes set up but am unable to cross vlans.  Here is what is configured.  I can ping from the core to the attached routers but am unable to ping from any of the switches which are on 192.168.143.xxx to the 192.168.2.1

Core(config)#show ip route

Route Codes: R - RIP Derived, O - OSPF Derived, C - Connected, K - Kernel, S - S
tatic
       B - BGP Derived, E - Externally Derived, IA - OSPF Inter Area
       E1 - OSPF External Type 1, E2 - OSPF External Type 2
       N1 - OSPF NSSA External Type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA External Type 2
       S U - Unnumbered Peer, L - Leaked Route, T - Truncated ECMP Route

 * Indicates the best (lowest metric) route for the subnet.

Default Gateway is 192.168.2.1
K      *0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via 192.168.2.1,   29d:08h:22m,  Vl2
C      *192.168.2.0/24 [0/0] directly connected,   Vl2
C      *192.168.136.0/21 [0/0] directly connected,   Vl1

I am only at the point of trying to cross vlans in the core.

my computer is 192.168.140.221

core switch vlan1 is 192.168.143.1 (I can ping)

core switch vlan2 is 192.168.2.2 (I can not ping)

I think my routes look right so I do not know if I am missing something else.

I finally got everything done except for turning spanning tree back on.  you have been a big help.  thanks.

one last question.  I got the email working.  my routes were good the whole time.  I just missed enabling some of the switches for email.  I am sending ok but they continue to increment the failed email count.  is there a way to clear out the old stuck emails other than rebooting?  this would give me clear logs.

Well,  I take that back.  even though I tested the email and it worked, it has now stopped working which is why I am still seeing the errors.  out of 15 switch stacks, 4 are working and have clear log files.  all of the stacks have identical configurations.  not sure why the rest are not working.

I figured out the problem but I do not understand why it affected it.  on the switches that did not send email GVRP was enabled on the LAG that connects them to the core switch.  once that was disabled I also had to reset the stack and everything works.

So on the ones that I have fixed I have received a few alerts over this weekend.  when I look in the logs I am still getting the email fail counter incrementing every 30 minutes. 

No Events found!
