Route from PC on one VLAN to another VLAN

[Airforce1]

I have 6 VLANs on Cisco 3950s. I don't want the VLANs to route to each other. This is the way things work today. However, I have a PC (server) on one of the VLANs that I would like to be able to see from one of the other VLANs. I thought I could do this by adding a route at the command prompt of the PC, but I cannot get it to work. When I try to ping the PC from the other VLAN, it returns "TTL expired in transist" error message and displays the IP address of the other VLAN.

You must have a router for this to work. To be more specific, you must have something performing a routing function. It doesn't have to be a router, per se.

Or, convert the server connection to an 802.1Q trunk connection so it has visibility on both VLANs. That might create some routing issues for you but in this case it will probably do what you require.

if the 3950 is a multi-layer switch then simply add:

Ip routing
Router EIGRP 10
network 10.0.0.0 (or whatever)

give the VLAN virtual interfaces ip addresses and like magic an IP routing table will appear.

then you will have to specify with an ACL what can route to where.
