Hello guys, I'm trying to set up a interVLAN Routing Lab here but for some reason I can't ping between my host from switch A and B, this host have their default gateway manually set up, Am I missing something in this config?

Thanks

Does the vlans have ip addresses assigned to them?

w0lv3rin3

None of them are using ip addresses, only the sub interfaces on the Router

jason_lunde

switch a should have vlan 3 on it...in its vlan database that is.

w0lv3rin3

I'm not using vtp here, two separate networks winch are been connected through the router, each switch should have whatever VLAN you assign to them and only those, someone correct me if I'm wrong

jamesleecoleman

From the labs that I've done, the vlans should have ip addresses for intervlan routing. The switches should have the default gateway address of one of the addresses of the logical interfaces.

w0lv3rin3

Ok from my understanding VLAN1 is the only one you can assign an ip address for remote management, I'm not using Vlan1 here I'm using VLAN 2-3, default-gateway should be use in the event that the management vlan is been use with an address, right or wrong ?

Only the subinterfaces are the ones that I have assigned ip addresses but not the vlan's

jason_lunde

how do you expect swa to accept vlan 3 tagged traffic from that router? Without that vlan in the database the traffic will never transit swa to swb, so that swb can send it to the host in vlan 3.

w0lv3rin3

makes sense will add those vlans to each switch dababase to see what happens

w0lv3rin3

Ok makes sense but how would you add vlan3 to switch A when the fa0/3 interface is already been use for vlan 2? how would you add those vlans to each switch using a single interface?

jason_lunde

just go:
vlan 3
exit
...in global config mode.

w0lv3rin3

you're good mate, thank you I spent the entire day trying to figure this out and look how simple was, there is nothing like practicing with the real equipment let me tell you that xD, I was able to ping forth and back no problem, thank you again

jason_lunde

no problem man, glad to help!

Quick question I'm able to ping forth and back without having to assign an ip address to none of the vlans, neither a default-gateway address on the switches, how's that possible ??? I think when doing inverVLAN you only assign ip addresses to the subinterfaces of the Router that's going to be Routing packets between this networks

^^ You are correct. The point of the router-on-a-stick is to provide the IP connectivity, so the VLANs can communicate with each other. Everything else is just layer 2 connectivity.

If you want to "prove" that it is the router allowing you to do this, you can simply do a "shutdown" or pull the plug on that router interface, and you'll see that you can no longer ping between those hosts off vlan 2 and vlan 3.

See this article below, it will show and explain a configuration of "router-on-a-stick" for InterVLAN routing.

Hope this helps!

Need some guidance from all.

I have configured a router-in-a-stick in my router and created 3-sub-interfaces for VLAN10 and VLAN20 and another to act as a default gateway. With this configuration VLAN10 and VLA[IMG]file:///C:/Users/kenwei.lam/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.png[/IMG]N20 can communicate.

Is there a way I can configure the router to prevent interVLAN routing between VLAN10 and VLAN20 while keeping connectivity to other port such as the FTP server which is connected to the router.

I am pretty new at this.

Thank you in advance

Monkerz

Looks like you are pretty new at using forums as well. Why don't you search the forums for related threads and if you can't find an answer, start your own thread. Rather than hijacking the OP's.

This is not true. ANY VLAN can be the management VLAN. VLAN 1 is just the default management VLAN...
