Procurve Default routing

[Sethuram]

I am configuring default routing on 5406 switch.

Two routers are connected to the same VLAN on the switch. The IPs for VLAN and connecting router interfaces are with /23 mask. I have configured a default route and a static route.

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.21.21.250
ip route 10.21.22.0 255.255.254.0 10.21.21.254

Default route is working fine. The static route is not forwarding the packets to the interface 10.21.21.254. Is there anything else to be configured?

I am using the image K.14.34

Hi,

Have you checked that the route is actually in your routing tables?
"sh ip route"

[Sethuram]

Hi Mohammed,

Below is the "sh ip route" output.


Destination Gateway VLAN Type Sub-Type Metric Dist.
------------------ --------------- ---- --------- ---------- ---------- -----
0.0.0.0/0 10.21.21.250 7 static 1 1
10.21.20.0/23 Server & NW ... 7 connected 1 0
10.21.22.0/23 10.21.21.254 7 static 1 1
127.0.0.0/8 reject static 0 0
127.0.0.1/32 lo0 connected 1 0

Further I am able to ping the switch IP 10.21.23.254 from the switch 10.21.21.249. When I connect a laptop and ping the IP 10.21.23.254 I get a message "10.21.21.249 : destination net unreachable".

[Mohammed Faiz]

Can you post the up the running config for your switch?

Ok, so I'm assuming that the laptop that you connected was on VLAN 1?

[Sethuram]

I connected the laptop to vlan 7

[Mohammed Faiz]

Oh, ok, so what IP address does the laptop get?
What is the device 10.21.21.254 and what port is it connected to the 5406 on?

[Sethuram]

Laptop IP 10.21.21.150/23
GW - 10.21.21.249
Connected to port B16

[Mohammed Faiz]

And which port is 10.21.21.254 connected to?

[Sethuram]

It's not 10.21.21.254. Its 10.21.23.254. It is in a different location and connected through a 4Mb link. From the switch 10.21.21.249 I can ping this IP. This is the HP switch at the other end. I cannot ping from the laptop connected to the vlan7 / port b16.

[Mohammed Faiz]

Your static route for 10.21.23.254 points to 10.21.21.254

"ip route 10.21.22.0 255.255.254.0 10.21.21.254"

I'm trying to picture where this lies.
I've not really come across a setup where traffic is routed a second within the same subnet.

Hi Sethuram

Well interisting issue you have one quick thing.

I suspect your default route is not working 100%. You might want to review that.


Since all the clients are plugged into vlan 7 which is the management vlan and as per the procurve Advanced Traffic Management Guide is not routable. This is bound to be your issue.

Hi Gerhard,

This resolved all my problems. Thanks a ton.
