Default-Gateway command

[gaberichter]

This one should be easy. Anyone know the command to add a gateway to an edge switch? Sorry for my ignorance I come from the Procurve world. This will be my first Alcatel install. I want to think it is ip router Primary x.x.x.x but want to make sure.

Hello Gaberichter,

Welcome To this Forum and to Alcatel-Lucent solutions.

For static route

ip static-route 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx metric 1

Look Benny signature for link to product documentation.

Regards

Cedric

yes I have already found that command. and have used it on the core switch/ routing switch for a gateway of last resort for it but I need the command for the L2 switches on the edge of the network to know where to go. in Cisco/Procurve it is ip default-gateway.

edge layer 2 switch ?

did you speak about 6200 switch ?

There is for 6400 switch no command like :

ip default-gateway XX.XX.XX.XX

only way is the command I send you wich is equal to "default-gateway"
this route will permit the switch to be manged by station on other subnet i think.

Hello Gaberichter,

It sounds like you want to do layer three commands on a layer two box.
The 6400 is a layer 2 box but does RIP also. if you what to have your edge switch connect to an upline switch you can tag (802.1q) all groups/vlans onto the uplink port and if the connecting switch contains those vlans you will have no problem connecting. The switch on the uplink side(i.e core) will do the routing.
