UNSOLVED
How To Get Out
I am new to the powerconnect family. I have a 6224p and it is working fine. However I have created a couple of vlans 40 (192.168.40.x/24) and 50 (192.168.50.x/24). And I want to now create a route out of the switch to my main router. The router is on a different subnet 192.168.0.x/24).
I do not see anything in the documentation to do this. I have port 1 connected to my router and it is on a separate subnet. What is the procedure for allowing packets out of the switch and into the switch?
If there is a reference doc for this it would be great.
Thanks,
Henry
Ok this helped. It allowed the switch to ping out to the router on the outside network 192.168.168.168, however it did not allow any connected devices to ping outside. Something is missing. I tried both default route and default gateway neither would let the connected devices ping out.
This should be a simple problem. But it is really stumping me.

Where do the clients point to for DNS? Typically you want them to point to the IP of their VLAN.
Not sure about the DNS. I am only doing ping at this point. Should DNS affect ping?
Here is the current config:
console#show run

!System Description "PowerConnect 6224P, 2.2.0.3, VxWorks5.5.1"
!System Software Version 2.2.0.3

Port 1 is connected to the router and the switch will ping the router and its other interfaces.
I am not sure what the problem is. I am thinking that since these are directly connected routes on vlan 40 and vlan 50 that I need a routing protocol to advertise routes. Is this correct?
If so I am thinking about turning on RIP for routing. What do you think?
Thanks for your help.

The clients should point to the vlan ip for their default gateway and then the default gateway on the switch should forward any traffic to the router. What port is the router connected to? What vlan is it on?

Hi Henry,
You can set the default gateway with the ip default gateway command. Page 359 http://downloads.dell.com/Manuals/Common/powerconnect-6224_Reference%20Guide_en-us.pdf
You could also use the ip route command to create a static route, page 725.
