11503 Config Question

douglas0944

Level 1

I have inherited a 11503 Content Switch and I am trying to understand its

configuration

In its present configuration

internet---vlan1----C.S.----vlan2-----Servers

The C.S. is setup into two VLANS

both vlans have public ip ranges and subnets.

When a browser is opened on one of the servers

traffic travels out the content switch on vlan1

to the internet. A response is sent back to the

ip address of the originating server. Which it can

not find since it is behind the content switch.

Server with ip address xxx.xxx.50.5 sends request

internet. The request goes out on VLAN1. The internet sends request back

and is looking for xxx.xxx.50.5 but can not find it.

My questions are this.

Is this normal?

How do I get the Content switch to route this traffic?

Do I need to give VLAN2 a path to the internet also?

Doug,

the CSS is just a smart router/switch.

So it will route traffic between the 2 vlans by default without having to do anything to permit it.

Make sure your upstream router knows how to reach vlan 2 through the CSS.

Gilles.
