Port 1 – 10.20.6.0/24 - (10.20.6.1 – 10.20.6.223)
Port 2 - 10.20.6.224/28 - (10.20.6.225 – 10.20.6.238 (14 addresses))
Port 3 – 10.20.6.240/28 - (10.20.6.241 – 10.20.6.254 (14 addresses))
I set it up on a fresh MT box, but cannot ping from port to port with connected equipment.
I am trying to establish management addresses for connected equipment, and would like to keep within the same range 10.20.6.x for all of the management interfaces.
I believe you cannot ping a port if it is not connected to anything. The ether port may be enable and an ip asigned but not active if it is not plugged into anything, and therefore not pingable
I believe so, what should the settings be? How do I set this up, give an example of each port and device, and its settings.. I think I have it set correctly, but I what I think is correct, may be wrong.
Looking closer at your first post I see a discrepancy.
Port 1 – 10.20.6.0/24 - (10.20.6.1 – 10.20.6.223) != 2 10.20.6.1/25 10.20.6.0 10.20.6.127 ether1
Check your IP address for port 1, looks like you have the wrong netmask specified
Looking at the config your router is setup correct.
This line confused me. Port 1 – 10.20.6.0/24 - (10.20.6.1 – 10.20.6.223)
it didn’t match your config. Your config would be Port 1 - 10.20.6.0/25 - (10.20.6.1-10.20.6.126)
Example
You have a client on port 1. The correct network settings would be
IP: 10.20.6.2
Subnet: 255.255.255.128
Gateway: 10.20.6.1
and then on port 2
IP: 10.20.6.226
Subnet: 255.255.255.240
Gateway: 10.20.6.225
You would then have routed communication between your clients.
