Static Routing Vlan with 3 Switches to 1 SG550X & SG500X

[Sven5]

Hello,

i want to rout 3 Switches to 1 with the Vlan 400 with the IP 10.4.0.254/24

so i Static Routed on the 172.16.204.251 Switch Destination:10.4.0.0/24 Next Hop:172.16.254.40

and on the 172.16.254.40 Switch Destination: 10.4.0.0/24 Next Hop 172.16.204.251
then i wanted to do the same with 172.16.204.254 Switch but the 172.16.254.40 Switch says the Rout all ready exists

how can i Static Rout them if i cant creat the same Static Rout with another Next Hop?

Can you post the syntax used here, which you got error, you need add different metric

Hello  balaji.bandi,

thanks for the reply, i was told that the metric is how many hops the switch does.
