Symptoms
Routing is not allowed on the Management VLAN within the PowerConnect 6200 series switches. Changing the management VLAN should not change the default untagged VLAN membership to the new Management VLAN. This article will provide the steps to allow changing of the Management VLAN, thereby allowing routing on VLAN 1.
Resolution
Verify Management VLAN IP Address
console#show ip interface Management Interface: IP Address........................................0.0.0.0 Subnet Mask.....................................0.0.0.0 Default Gateway.................................0.0.0.0 Burned In MAC Address.......................... 5C26.0A00.0000 Network Configuration Protocol Current......... DHCP Management VLAN ID............................. 1
Remove the IP Address from the Management VLAN
console#configconsole(config)#ip address none
Add the new Management VLAN
console(config)#vlan databaseconsole(config-vlan)#vlan 99 *****The new Management VLAN may be any valid VLAN, but to avoid other conflicts it is recommended to use a VLAN not already in use.console(config-vlan)#exitconsole(config)#ip address vlan 99 *****Use the VLAN number designated in step b
Add an IP address to VLAN 1 and enable routing
console(config)#interface vlan 1console(config-if-vlan1)#ip address 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.0console(config-if-vlan1)#routing
Note: IP routing must be enabled globally, to enable routing globally:console(config)#ip routingTo verify VLAN 1 is routing, use:console#show ip route
