Ciscoworks & the NME-16ES-1G EtherSwitch module

[elpiegrandes]

Howdy Folks,

I have a 2811 fitted with an NME-16ES-1G ether switch module and I would like to manage it using LMS 2.6.

I require the module be managed by a specific IP address, namely the IP address associated with VLAN 1.

The problem is that whenever the switch module responds to polls from CiscoWorks, it responds with the interface IP address closest to the CiscoWorks server ... which in this case is the IP associated with the internal interface GigabitEthernet1/0/2.

Sample config below:

<snip>
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1
switchport mode trunk
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/2
no switchport
ip address 192.168.201.254 255.255.255.252
!
interface Vlan1
ip address 192.168.9.1 255.255.255.0
!
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 GigabitEthernet1/0/2
ip route 192.168.9.2 255.255.255.255 GigabitEthernet1/0/2
!
<snip>

So at the moment the module responds using IP 192.168.201.254, where as I require it to respond with 192.168.9.1.

Is it possible to set the source IP address of this switch?

I can find nothing that tells me so ...

Many thanks in advance

What VLAN was your seed router in CiscoWorks?

Hey Rodjor,

The 2811 has the below configuration, where Gb 1/0/2 is the internal interface that links the 2811 to the switching module and the loopback interface is the IP by which the 2811 is managed. I admit that the design is not exactly tidy, but I couldn't think of a better way to do this. (note that the Ether Switch config above shows a host route for the 2811 IP 192.168.9.1).


!
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/2
no switchport
ip address 192.168.201.253 255.255.255.252
!
interface Loopback0
ip address 192.168.9.2 255.255.255.255
!

many thanks,
paul
