Problem in routing between VLANS on Nexus 5020

[Mohamed Abdelmoteleb]

Dear 
 I hope you are doing well.

I have a problem with Nexus 5020. The command "IP routing" is missing. so I can not access any device in any other VLAN.

Is there any solution for this problem. or this model doesn't support routing between VLANs

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

is the option 'feature interface-vlan' available ?

[Mohamed Abdelmoteleb]

Yes It it available and it is activated

Does the Nexus switch does not support "ip routing command"

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

no, I don't think so. Enabling the 'feature interface-vlan' allows you to create SVIs (Vlan interfaces), and inter-Vlan routing should be enabled by default.

[Mohamed Abdelmoteleb]

is this switch a layer 2 or a layer 3 switch

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

I checked again, apparently, the 5010/5020 models are layer 2 only and do not support routing and/or routing protocols.

Does any firmware upgrade solve this problem?

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

both the 5010 and the 5020 are end of life as of 2012. There is no upgrade, or anything else to get these switches to have layer 3 functionality. They are layer 2 only...

Cisco note.
Note Make sure the LAN Base Services license is installed on the switch to enable Layer 3 interfaces.

Interesting. Where did you find this information, do you have a link ?
