Catalyst 2960-S management IP addrees

[Balma1969]

Hi,

my 2960 is configured with management address 192.168.100.13 in valn1.

I need to access the management address through vlan 900

so I created vlan 900 and after I entered :

Interface Vlan900
ip address 192.168.100.250 255.255.255.0

but I get:
192.168.100.0 overlaps with Vlan1

I understand my error but How can I 'move' my management IP from valn1 to vlan900?

Thanks in advance

Hi Balma,

If we are talking about an SVI then you should be able to go under vlan 1

UK--SW-SRV-01(config)#int vlan 1
UK--SW-SRV-01(config-if)#no ip address
UK--SW-SRV-01(config-if)#

Then put IP address under Interface Vlan 900

Thanks

I'm connected in telnet to my management address, if I set NO IP ADDRESS to vlan1 I loose the telnet and I cannot  put IP address under Interface Vlan 900...

Am I wrong?

I made (wrongly) the assumption you were local to the switch.

I think the 2960 will support multiple SVIs being up. You could configure a temporary SVI on a different subnet. Jump onto switch via the new SVI.

You would need to ensure you have routing in place I guess for this new address space.

A more riskier way would be to copy over the current startup config, amend it to suit your objectives and copy it back over. Reload the switch. I have never done this though so not sure how feasible it is.

Some of the more knowledgeable may be able to advise more.

I've done it using a serial connection.
