Hello Friends,
I'm a newbie to 3com networking and I need your help in solving my simple problem.
Problem: I have connected 3com corebuilder 3500 and 3com super stack 3300 to set up intervlan routing to test its features and learn about 3com routing.
Port Fa0/12 on 3500 is connected to Port fa0/12 on 3300 and this link is set up as trunk, with autonegotiation enabled on both ports and tagged as 802.1Q .
Vlan10 and Vlan20 are created on 3300 and ports are assigned. Port 1 on 3300 goes on VLAN10 and port 13 goes on VLAN20.
ip interface define vlan10 192.168.10.254 and ip interface define vlan20 192.168.20.254 are defined on 3500 and Port Fa0/12 is placed in Both VLAN10 VLAN20 and also VLAN1 default This Fao/12 is tagged as 802.1Q to carry traffic across two vlans.
Even port Fa0/12 on 3300 is tagged and placed in VLAN10 VLAN20 and VLAN1.
Remaining ports are on VLAN1 on both devices.
Finally I enabled ip routing function on layer 3.
IP address are set as accordingly on VLAN10 and VLAN20 with 10.254 and 20.254 as gateway.
The Problem is trunk link on 3300 shows active and shows as down in 3500. Pc in VLAN10 cant ping its gateway 10.254 and same with pc in VLAN20. Wireshark shows that no traffic is carried. Pcs cant ping each other.
So then I tried to set up Static route to carry traffic across different Vlans but the command says :>>>Destination not found, and pops up saying "routing table is empty".I tried to bring the link up by changing portmode , portstate , auto features , still it dint work.
Can anyone please tell me where am i going wrong , r am I missing any step.I defined trunks b4 setting up vlans and i went through 3com documentation and followed rules accordingly. 3com documentation says trunk can be set up between 2 or 4 links and the anchor port must be mentioned in VLAN .No ip address for vlan1 is defined.Here I want to use only port ,is it wrong with my design to set up trunk with only one port.The same concept worked with cisco devices.
Awaiting for your reply.
Thank you.
