I am new to VLans, and have been thrown into a situation. Situation is: Site has 8600 (96 ports)and 8 remote Baystack 450's. This was started but not completed and within a few weeks we neefd to move our network over to this backbone (Right now it is on many many smaller switches. Anyway, whoever started this has a 255.255.255.192 subnet mask on all equipment. User has about 90 PC's, 12 Printers, 30 Server like devices and ancillary equipment, and of course 9 management IP addresses. There are 4 VLANs setup.
Scope-------------------Gateway---
X.X.62.1 X.X.62.61 X.X.62.62
X.X.62.65 X.X.62.125 X.X.62.126
X.X.62.129 X.X.62.189 X.X.62.190
X.X.62.193 X.X.62.253 X.X.62.254
Users in VLAN 2 and 3 need to be able to see Servers in VLAN 1. If I plug into a port that is in VLAN2 and set an IP in that range I can talk to other devices in that VLAN, but I cannot talk to say VLAN 1 or 3. I can also configure the port to be in VLAN 2 AND 1 and can only talk to VLAN 1 if I change my ip address to be in that range. So what is the easiest way to allow VLAN 2 or 3 to see devices in VLAN 1.
I know, annoyingly easy question but I have READ ALOT including other posts on this forum and still can't grasp the theory. I am not asking for a handout of step 1....Step 2... but if someone can explain the theory, I show Routes in the 8600 that show Destination X.X.62.0 Subnet 255.255.255.192 Next Hop X.X.62.62 and so on for all 4 VLANS but it just doesn't seem to work. This is all with testing from JUST the 8600. Once I get that going I'm sur ethe 450's will be a peice of cake.
