Static route on a 3CRWER100-75 ?

jslegers — Thu, 07 May 2009 14:03:01 GMT

Hello,

I have the following situation.

3Com router with IP address 192.168.64.254 (lan) with subnetmask 255.255.0.0.

I have a couple of servers (test environment) attached to this unit via a switch.

Servers are as follow :

Server 1 = 192.168.64.200

Server 2 = 192.168.64.204

Server 3 = 192.168.65.204

Server 4 = 192.168.66.204

Server 5 = 192.168.67.204

All of the servers can ping each other. Server 1 and 2 can ping the router. Only server 3, 4, 5 can't ping the router. I have tried to make an static route in de router which is as follows :

Network address 192.168.65.0

Subnetmask 255.255.0.0

Gateway 192.168.64.254

I still can't ping the router from server 3. Is this a known issue of static routing ? This is also the problem with server 4 and 5.

What is the Network Mask on your failing servers (3,4,and 5)?

The failing servers also have sm of 255.255.0.0 and gateway 192.168.64.254.

I'm using the latest firmware.

looks like the 3Com device only uses 24 bit mask even when its configured for 16 bit.

Try a PING from 3Com to the server if the 3Com has a "Tools" GUI somewhere. does that work? if not then call their support sounds like a bug.
