Static Route Help

[adam.dillon1]

I believe I need to use a static route on one of my switches to fix an issue I'm having.

Here is the situation..

For simplicity, we will say I only have 2 switches and one router.

I have a 2960 switch on either side of my cisco router.

One 2960 is on 192.168.204.0 and the other is 192.168.215.0. My router has both networks setup on it so I can pass traffic back and forth.

What I'd like to do is setup one port on the 192.168.204.x side to have a static ip address in the 192.168.215.x range. I'm having issues with that machine getting access to the other 192.168.215.x computers.

I'm thinking I need to set a static route on the 2960 that has the 204 addresses and point that route to the router. I'm not quite sure how to do that.

Hello Adam-

I have a couple of questions:

1. Are the switches strictly L2 or are they L3

2. Can you post the interface configurations from the router and the switches

Thank you for rating helpful posts!

I'm not exactly sure if they are L2 or L3, is there something in the config I can look for to answer number 1?

2. Let me try to paint a slightly bigger picture and see if this helps.

I have devices on the instr2960-2.222 switch that are using the 192.168.215.x network. The bwyprocess-5 router is what separates them.

I want to setup a port on the bwy-whse2-57 switch that uses the 192.168.215.x network and can communicate.

Right now everything on the 192.168.215.x network and the 192.168.204.x network can still talk through the router.

Do you want me to get you interface configs from the instr2960-2.222 all the way to the bwy-whse2-57 switch?

I'm going to assume your Cisco router is strictly layer 3 because this could easily be setup using SVIs and trunk ports. If that's the case you will need a another switch that both switches can plug into so that they can share the one link to the router and you can do sub-interfaces and have a router on a stick. hope that helps, thanks!
