Problems routing using X250e 1

[faddyuk]

Hi.

I have a x250 which has been split in two.

Here is my config:

configure vlan default delete ports 1-26
create vlan "vlan1"
configure vlan vlan1 tag 20
create vlan "vlan2"
configure vlan vlan2 tag 21
configure vlan vlan1 add ports 1-12 untagged
configure vlan vlan2 add ports 13-24 untagged
configure vlan vlan1 ipaddress 10.10.10.254 255.255.255.0
enable ipforwarding vlan vlan1
configure vlan vlan2 ipaddress 20.20.20.254 255.255.255.0
enable ipforwarding vlan vlan2

Basically what I would like to achieve is to be able to ping a machine on vlan2 from vlan1. A machine will be connected directly into one extreme switch.

I suspect it has something to do with the iprouting command but as there is no physical router conencting the two it wont work. Is there anyway to use the vr-default router to do this.. if so how.

any help would be appreciated.

Regards

Is the IP address x.x.x.254 set as the default gateway on both hosts you're using to try and ping?

Many thanks for your reply.. I kind of figured out that i needed to add a gateway address in each host.. But yes the config then works..

Which brings me to the next question.. A company has a existing network.. For example 10.10.10.0/24 as above.. This is their data network and use 10.10.10.1 for their gateway to get out onto the internet - a cisco router say.. The extreme data vlan is set to 10.10.10.254.. We deploy a
voice network on the 20.20.20.0/24 range and set the vlan to 254 as above.. Would the routing need to be configured on the cisco or the extreme to allow the data and voice communicate together to allow softphone options.. If it needs doing on the extreme then how do i configure the routing to allow internet traffic to be sent via the extreme then cisco..

You can handle routing in a few different ways in this scenario. Option 1:

Data VLAN Host's default gateway: Cisco Router 10.10.10.1
Cisco Router needs a static route: 20.20.20.0/24 via 10.10.10.254
Extreme Switch needs a default route to Cisco: 0.0.0.0/0 via 10.10.10.1

Some older Cisco firewalls cannot do a static route in this fashion, so Option 2 would be to let the Extreme handle everything internal:

Data VLAN Host's default gateway: Extreme Switch 10.10.10.254
Extreme Switch still needs a default route to the Cisco: 0.0.0.0/0 via 10.10.10.1
