troubles with route module in a Cisco5500

xenomorph80 · ‎09-28-2004

Hi all, please bear with me as I'm only studying for the CCNA and dont have perfect knowledge of all things Cisco just yet.

I have a WS-X5302 route switch module (Sw ver: 11.2(12a.P1) in a Cisco5500 switch. Supervisor is WS-X5550 1000BaseFX IIIG (Sw ver: 6.4(9)) and I'm trying to do static routing like so..

the bandwidth provider is sending the block 10.10.102.0/24 to 10.10.100.5 via RIP, I enable routing, rip and add the routes on the route module, everything like it should be. But the Vlans used in the route module never come up (Vlan1 is down, line protocol is down) no matter what I do ('no shutdown' is useless). And as such I cannot see out onto the WAN from the route module, and its not routing anything!

I've looked around everywhere for solutions, all I can find is documents for actual stand-alone routers, not for a router module inside a switch, I think this has confused me even more as to what could possibly be wrong.

Any ideas? The route module can see the 5500 supervisor since I can session into it.. thats not a problem. Any help much appreciated, I've been banging my head on the wall for days about this one.

Can you provide the configs of your RSM and Sup. Also have you enabled the VLAN's on your Sup yet. The other thing I would do is upgrade your IOS and CatOS to the latest versions. 11.2 is extremely old.

Its probably something really dumb that I'm missing since I dont know these systems all that good yet. Or maybe its the versions like you said, if I'm reading this correctly the RSM version is from 1998. Now if only Cisco wasnt so restrictive over access to OS images and all that, these parts came off eBay, so no access to Cisco download areas :(
