Vince, That's more or less what I thought I needed to do, except well I've never done this before and I have no idea what's going on so I'm just trying to figure it out as I go and get it to work.

Yes they are actually layer3 switches. This is the switch http://www.dell.com/us/en/enterprise/networking/pwcnt_6248/pd.aspx?refid=pwcnt_6248&cs=555&s=biz I managed to find out how to get the config off of the switch. Here it is. !Current Configuration: !System Description "PowerConnect 6248...

What I'm saying is: Pc1 (switch1 vlan10) 192.168.0.35 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.230 can see PC2 (switch2 vlan20) 192.168.1.50 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.230 but PC1 cannot see PC2 if I change the gateway of PC2 to be 192.168.1.230 where 192.168.0.230 is the IP of switch2. The way it sounds is as...

Ok scratch that...apparently the communication was happening because I set the default gateway to the same switch for each computer instead of setting the gateway to the respective switch each computer is on. Anyone have any more ideas?

I think I got it working. I can ping back and forth between a machine on s1 and one on s2 each with a different subnet. I created the trunk port on each switch as port 1 and I also added static routes on each switch for each subnet. It seems to work just fine, the only thing that doesn't...

The the web interface for the switch.

burtsbees: I'm not seeing where to change those settings in the GUI. I realize you're giving me the CLI way to do it but I don't really understand CLI and since I'm having a hard time with the switches anyway, do you know how to do it in the GUI?

Ok, that makes sense to me since they're both on the same subnet. What do I do when all ports on switch one are vlan10 ip 192.168.0.x and ports on switch two are vlan20 ip 192.168.1.x

Can you explain that for me? Sorry if I'm sounding extremely dense but in my case it's better to over simplify than to assume I know something so as to avoid any flubs on my part. By the way, thanks for your help.

They're layer 3 switches. They have routing capabilities built in. I don't know how to configure it. The switches are/will be connected together.

They're different subnets.For example one switch is 192.168.0.x with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and the other switch is 192.168.1.x and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Each of those is a different VLAN. I don't have much experience with routing I normally just do Windows admin, active...

Ok, I have 5 Dell PowerConnect 6248 Layer 3 switches. I have two of them set up as 192.168.0.x, one set up as 192.168.1.x, and and 2 that need to be set up as 192.168.2.x and a spare. I've given each of the switches and IP address on the necessary subnet. Port 1 on each switch is set as a...
