Two switches connection - unable to ssh to sw2

[athens45]

We have two l3 switches and one router.

SW1 connected to SW2 via trunk

And also connection from sw1 >>>10.253.255.101

to

sw2:

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/48  no switchport  ip address 10.253.255.102 255.255.255.252. 

Made this for test, Idea is to have connection to sw2 also from client machine.

From User computers on sw1 we can do ssh to sw1, but not to sw2 (only possible ssh from sw1 directly).

Check config files of SW1 , SW2 and router.

All clients are connected on these two switches. How to make sw manageable from client machine.

Hi @athens45 

I suggest you create a vlan301 interface in Sw2 and assign it an IP.
Also, I see that in Sw1 the logging is by AAA and in Sw2 it is local.
You could leave the same method log on both switches.

Hi,

Make some changes on the Switch 2 as:

no ip default-gateway 10.253.255.254
ip default-gateway 10.253.3.1

!

no ip routing

!

Also, remove the Interface 48 configuration because this switch will work as L2.
