add a static route through the another host within the same vlan as the router

david.wang

Level 1

this is router 887, its vlan is 192.168.3.1/24. If I'd like to add a static route via different host within same vlan, rather than the router, like:

          ip route 192.168.100.0/24 192.168.3.6

how can we achieve it?

i tried adding it directly and failed:

          (config)#ip route 192.168.100.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.3.6

          %Invalid next hop address (it's this router)

any idea is much appreciated!!!

Hello,

Try replacing 192.168.3.6 with ip of remote host or use interface VLAN X as a next hop e.g.

ip route 192.168.100.0/24 vlan X

HTH,

thanks for your info.

but 192.168.3.6 is the ip of remote host, which is within the same vlan as the router: vlan1, i can't add it without the remote ip, it gets the same error if config is:

ip route 192.168.100.0 255.255.255.0 vlan 1 192.168.3.6

hi,

does the next hop you r setting receives its ip address from your dhcp pool? try to make an exclusion (ip dhcp exclude-address) for your intended next hop and try again, see if it works this time.

all other configs look ok to me!

plz Rate if it helped.

Soroush.

Hope it Helps!

Soroush.

actually it does contain already:

ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.3.1 192.168.3.9

i think the problem is the router seems not supporting the static route next hop to another host within the same vlan. but don't know what the better solution is to sort it out.
