Hello,
New to the world of networking and was looking for some assistance regarding 2 Dell Powerconnect 6248P switch
that I recently purchased. They are currently stacked with a 10GE CX4 stacking module and all of that appears to
be in order. My network topology is extremely simple with a home router that is able to do static routing
connected upstream to DSL and downstream to port one of the first switch (management switch - 1/g1). The router IP
address is 192.168.1.1, and it is also the DHCP server. I have set up DHCP reservation for the switch with an IP
address of 192.168.1.254.
In the router I have set up 3 separate static routes:
10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.254
192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.254
I am trying to set up 3 different vlans:
VLAN 1 - Internet
VLAN 3 - Management
VLAN 100 - internal lan for severs
Please note that I have scoured the message boards and been though at least 15 different iterations without any
success. Here is the my configuration file - it is small because I have just recently reformatted the file system
and restarted from scratch. Also, both switches are at the latest firmware.
!Current Configuration:
!System Description "PowerConnect 6248P, 3.3.14.2, VxWorks 6.5"

Here is the output of the "show vlan" command:

Finally, here is the out put of the "show ip interface command"

vlan 1 Up 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0 Disable Disable
---------------------vlan 3 is clearly shown here as the managemetn VLAN--------------
1) I am unable to get VLAN 3 pinging the router (192.168.1.1) or internet. VLAN 100 can ping the router (192.168.1.1) but not the internet.
2) The GUI can only be accessed by 192.168.1.254, not 192.168.3.1 as I had intended (management VLAN). Moreover, it still lists vlan 1 as default. I cannot rename vlan 1.
3) I have a windows PC connected to 1/g6 (registered to VLAN 1). It can ping the internet but cannot ping 192.168.3.1, nor can it ping 10.10.10.1
4) The switch can ping pboth VLAN 3 and VLAN 100 Interface
I have been working on this for nearly a month and finally decided to do my own post after scouring many of the other posts on the support forums. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know it is an old product but I still have a warranty on them.
Sincerely,
Prashant
