ProCurve 2626 IP Routing

[Eric McGhee]

I have a 2626 switch with two VLANS configured to separate 2 different Microsoft SBS domains. Is it possible to route Internet traffic from one VLAN to another for Internet access?

Hello Eric,

Your last sentence is somewhat confusing me.

If it is your meaning that both VLANs should have access to the Internet (outside world), then you can do this by configuring a default-route to the next hop gateway (normally your WAN router, but could be internal as well).

For example:

VLAN 10 = 10.0.10.0/24
VLAN 20 = 10.0.20.0/24

switch (config)# default-route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.0.20.254

Where 10.0.20.254 would the IP of your (WAN) router.

Off-subnet traffic on both VLAN should then be able to find its way to the router at .254

Note that the 2600 series is a "lite" router.

Hope this helps.

Yes, I would like to allow internet access on both VLANs. However, does the 2626 use the "default-route" statement? I am not showing it as a valid command.

Hello Eric,

You are quite right. Apologies for the oversight. I believe the correct command to set a default route on the 2600 series is:

switch (config)# ip route IP/MASK/GW

For example:

...(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.x

Where x.x.x.x is the gateway address.

Hope this helps?
