Hello everyone,
I inherited a pair of stacked PC 6248 switches. These two switches are active and in production. I am not near these switches as there are located in another state at one of our other company locations. I have no way of connecting to these switches remotely except by a putty session I currently have running via a serial connection from a laptop I'm remotely connected to. There is a site to site VPN from the office I reside in and this location where these two switches reside. I can access any other device on this remote network accept for this switch stack. I would like to access these switches remotely via putty by accessing them via their IP address on the Data Vlan that has been setup which is VLAN 10. I need assistance in doing this. I have attached a copy of the running config as I have made a few changes but still am unable to access these two switches.
I took a portion of the config and copied it below. The text in blue is what was originally configured on the stack. The text in BOLD red is some commands I have added. So the problem I am having is after adding the commands I thought I needed I still cannot access this switch stack locally on that network or remotely via the site to site VPN. For example ( I try to ping the switch stack IP 192.245.134.1 from our firewall which is on the same network with an IP of 192.245.134.254) or I try to ping from the switch stack in reverse from its IP on VLAN10 of 192.245.134.1 over to the firewall 192.245.134.254 and I still cannot. I have tried to ping this switch stack on it's IP of 192.245.134.1 from other workstations which are all on the same 192.245.134.x network and I still cannot. I am not too versed with this type of setup and I am obviously missing something. Can someone let me know what commands I am missing please? Below is additional information on the setup of the network and a portion of the running config.
IP network scheme for all devices (workstations/servers/printers/firewall etc.) is the following.
IP: 192.245.134.x
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.245.134.254
* IP addresses on this switch network are the following.
192.168.134.1 = This IP is on the default VLAN 1
192.245.134.1 = This is the IP address in on VLAN 10. I have assigned this IP to this stack.
* IP route on this switch "ip route 192.245.134.0 255.255.255.0 192.245.134.254"
192.245.134.254 = This is the firewall on the network that I would like this switch stack to send all traffic to. This firewall is the gateway for the entire network.
