Like Erik, I am not sure about the 2950 switch, but layer 3 functionality is also limited to the type of IOS you have licensed/running. I think layer 3 has filtered down to a lot of their switch offerings, but you have to buy a higher version of the IOS. In short, it depends on the switch AND the IOS. Bill Mayo

I have a Procurve 2910, which is layer three, and I couldn't find anything in the webgui that would allow this. On a side note, I have an old Sonicwall Pro which needs a config file, the existing one is corrupt. This device may work as well.

I'm not up on the current lines, but unless you have an RSM (route switch module) for a 2900 switch you cannot use the switch to route between layer three networks.

' From: Steve Ens [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, January 24, 2011 11:42 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Simple routing I've not much experience with Cisco gear, but is it possible to route two different subnets on a Cisco 2950 switch? I want to keep my two networks separate (mostly), but need specific port access between the two. I've been trying to use a Dlink router, and it mostly works, but there is something that is not being allowed through for some reason. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
