4104gl trunking and IP routing.

[NelsonC]

I am trying to turn on routing on a 4104gl. I currently have multiple trunks configured. When enabling ip routing it gives me the error " Ip routing can not be turned on while trunks are configued". Please someone tell how to resolve this issue.

Hi Nelson,

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

Since G.07.74 enabling IP routing and trunking at the same time is not possible.

-Routing/Trunks (PR_1000278860) â When routing and trunking are both enabled, under some conditions the Switch may incorrectly flood routed traffic. The CLI will now disallow the creation of a trunk group to be used as a routed interface.

You can go back to an earlier firmware, G.07.70 is still on the web, but I wouldn't recommend it.

I don't think this was documented at my time of purchase. I'll have to call and break some ones stugots. I think I have finally come to the conclusion that the 4100 series are horrible switches.

I had this problem when a Transceiver Module (J4864A) was in a slot before the Module with the trunk, HP confirmed this is a bug. My resolution was to put this module in the last slot.
