Cisco 3550 24 FX SMI 1

[LotsofQuestions]

HI there,

Please could some one give some idea as what i need to do next. I am very new to cisco switches and i have just been lumbered with setting up some up.

I have been able to assign IP addresses to the 2 interfaces we are using on each switch and I am able to ping from one switch to another. The problem is that I cannot ping to the interface1, which connects to the subnet. I have been using interface 1 on each switch as the connection to the subnet and interface 2 as the connection between switches.

I have found out that everything is disabled when you start and have used IP routing command to start, but I still cannot get any further.



So far this what i have done:
#Config terminal
#interface fastethernet0/1
#no switchport
#ip address 210.10.66.001 255.255.255.0
#no shutdown
#exit
#ip routing
#interface fastethernet0/2
#no switchport
ip address 210.10.190.101 255.255.255.0
#
no shut down


#Config terminal
#interface fastethernet0/1
#no switchport
#ip address 210.10.191.201 255.255.255.0
#no shutdown
#exit
#ip routing
#interface fastethernet0/2
#no switchport
ip address 210.10.190.201 255.255.255.0
#no shut down

I will be using HSRP when i get the upgrade to EMI.

what do i need to put in now to get both switches able to route to each of the subnets.

Do you know what I need to configure? I have seen a lot of routing protocols, but am unsure of which one I should use. Also I have seen the vlan interface, do I need to configure that as well?

I would be grateful for any help you can give . I will remind you again that i have never worked in cisco products before so i am learning as i go along.

Many thanks

Does your config have "ip routing" enabled in it? Try entering that command from config mode.

something like this.


VLAN Database
vtp transparent
vlan 1 name Vlan1
vlan 2 name Vlan2
exit

conf t
no ip http server
bridge irb
bridge 1 protocol ieee
bridge 1 route ip
bridge irb
bridge 2 protocol ieee
bridge 2 route ip

int fast 0/1
switchport acces vlan 1
int fast 0/2
switchport acces vlan 2

interface bvi 1
ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
interface bvi 2
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
exit

Thanks for your help. I tried the commands ip routing already and it still doesnt work.
Tekk777 with regards to ur config, it doesnt recognise the word bridge. so i am still no further forward.
any other ideas?

I think the SMI image is purely Layer-2 and doesn't support routing at all. If you want IP routing then you must upgrade the IOS image to the EMI one.

thanks,


that is what i first thought. I will have to chase up cisco again and get the EMI image, which should have been installed in the first place.

Thanks again

The SMI image does contain basic IP routing. Basically static and connected routes. It doesn't support routing protocols etc.

Issue a "show ip route" on your switch and see if the routes are displaying properly.
