Using 6224 for vlan routing

Question

Hi,

I have a 6224 switch, and I try to route between two vlans created on it.
I use the Application Note #38 (What is VLAN Routing) and I have questions about this note :
What is the use of the 3348 switches ?
Is it possible to connect directly the hosts to the 6224 switch ?

Thanks for your help to understand the 6224 using.

Patrick,   In order for the routing to work, you must enable routing Globally in the switch.   console(config)# ip routing   Once you do that, you need to assign IP addresses to the VLAN interfaces.   console(config)# interface vlan x console(config-vlan x)# ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 255.255.255.255 (whatever the subnet mask is)   Now, the most important thing is that the VLAN interfaces are now the default-gateways to all of the computers in that VLAN.  You will need to set the default-gateways accordingly.    Note:  The management VLAN (VLAN 1 by default) is not routable.  If you need VLAN 1 to route, you will need to create another VLAN and make it the management VLAN.   console(config)# vlan database console(config-vlan)# vlan 4093 console(config-vlan)# exit console(config)# ip address vlan 4093   The management VLAN will use the default Management IP address of 192.168.2.1 /24.  If you are going to use that IP subnet you will need to change the Management IP address.   console(config)# ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 255.255.255.255 (whatever the subnet mask is)

Crzywolf,   Since the Management VLAN is not routable, what do you think is the best way to have access to the managment VLAN from another site or accross a WAN.  I've always routed the Management VLAN, but used access lists to restrict access with my other switches.   Thanks

You can still access the switch from any of the active default-gateways on the switch.
