The computer does have 10.4 as its default gateway.  The machine can ping the gateway but can not ping anything on the .76 network except the 76.3 which is the switch management ip.

Thank you for all your help!! i really do appreciate it. 

Hi,

Under the VLAN configuration routing doesn’t look like it is enabled.

console(config)#interface vlan 100

console(config-if-vlan100)#routing

Also what does show ip route display? Does the computer connected to the VLAN 100 port have 192.168.10.4 as its default gateway? Can you ping between the VLAN IPs?

How difficult is it to change the management without breaking everything else?  Like I said previously - vLan 1 runs everything for the entire company.

Thank you so much for all of this - i was ready to put my head through a wall.

The command did not work - I will look at the reference guide you provided.  Our boot version is PowerConnect 7048p Boot Image 5.0.1.3 - on the next reboot it will go to image 5.1.2.3

Thanks again

What version of the firmware is the switch at? That could be why the command is showing not valid. However it is showing

S 192.168.10.0/24 [1/0] via 192.168.76.1, Vl1

So there is a static route from the .10 to the .76 VLAN Try this command and see if it works

console(config-vlan)# vlan routing 100

The other possibility is that it is because the management VLAN is not routable and by default is VLAN 1, changing the management VLAN to something else may allow it to route properly.

You can create a vlan that is the new management vlan and then assign the management ip address to that, but this could break access to it, so I would do it locally so you can switch it back if needed. Try updating the firmware first as well.

console(config)# vlan database

console(config-vlan)# vlan 999

console(config-vlan)# exit

console(config)# ip address vlan 999

No, The out of band IP is for the physical out of band port on the switch, but it still could think that there is a conflict with what it is now. You could try removing the existing ip address with no ip address, switch the vlan and add it back in.

I know this is a stupid question and i am sorry - my head is fried - is the management ip address and the out of band interface ip address the same thing?  i cant for the life of me change the ip address of the switch without getting an ip address/netmask entered conflicts with the configured ip address of a router interface. 

Thanks

i have created a managment vlan of 10.1.10.0 with the vlan ip 10.1.10.1.  I have enabled routing on the vlan and globally.  My concern about moving the switch ip (.76.3) to the management vlan is that the default gateway is configued to 192.168.76.1 which is our firewall.  If i change the default gateway to 10.1.10.1 and the management ip of the switch to 10.1.10.3 - how does that impact users seeing the firewall?

You shouldn’t have to change the firewall IP, it can stay on the same subnet as the users and only the management IP is on its own VLAN. You should be able to SSH to the switch still through any of the IPs assigned not just the management IP.

No matter what I do or try I can not change the management IP of the switch to the management vlan.  i try the ip address command and i get ip address-conflict instead.  I looked in every manual Dell has on the 7048 and i still cant find anything that tells me how to change it.  I upgraded the firmware and still no go.  Is there any other place I can look - CLI or GUI

Thanks again for everything.

If you use no ip address and clear the existing one off does it still give an error? What if you remove the default gateway temporarily as well?
