Traffic routing problem 5406zl

[Rodan65]

Hi All,

I have a problem concerning traffic routing at one of our sites.

The core switch at the site is an HP 5406zl software K.15.14.0007 with version 1 modules.

I have a user who sometimes visits the site and and uses a laptop. Because we have multiple domains the laptop is not the correct build for that site, so it cannot egress to the Internet via the sites own Internet connection. We also have a private WAN link at the site through which the traffic could egress to the web proxy and firewall for that division of our company. However, the default route on the 5406zl points to the sites own Internet gateway and I need to direct traffic from a single VLAN on the 5406zl to the private WAN gateway instead.

I could probably do it via PBR but we have V1 modules in the switch, so that is ruled out, and we can't afford to upgrade them.

So.. is there anyway that someone can think of to get the switch to route all traffic from VLAN 6 to a next hop IP (based on source, or vlan ID) instead of going to the default route?

Remove all IP addressing from VLAN6 will prevent the laptop from being routed as per the 5400s routing table, which you don't want.

Now extend VLAN6 out an interface and patch that to any device capable of doing layer3 (router, layer-3 switch, PC, whatever).

On this Layer3 device, put in a static default route pointing to the correct destination.

Now patch a second interface from this Layer-3 device, connecting it to the target device for that static route.
