The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Cisco 3020 virtual interface f0

Asked by nappyshock in Networking Hardware, Network Switches & Hubs, Computer Servers

Can anyone help with my understanding of the virtual fastethernet interface in the Cisco 3020 switches. I have installed two Cisco 3020's which are working independently in a HP blade server enclosure. The network has multiple VLAN's and one (VLAN 20) is used for managment and one (VLAN 10) is used for servers. Each 3020 has a 802.1q trunk back to the core with all the VLANs on it. VLAN 20 has a subnet of 172.20.0.0/16 and the onboard administrator on the HP blade enclosure and all the switches in the enclosure including the 3020's on their fastethernet F0 interface have IP addresses in the 172.20.0.0/16 range. If i give my laptop a 172.20.0.0/16 address and plug directly into the onboard administrator port of the enclosure, i can ping/telnet all the switches including the 3020's. So all in the enclosure is working ok.
I have configured an external interface on the 3020's as a VLAN 20 access interface and plugged the HP onboard administrator port into it to give access to the enclosure from the rest of the network. Everything is working fine except for one strange issue. I can now ping the onboard administrator and every switch in the enclosure except for the 3020 switch the onboard administrator is plugged into this 3020 can't be accessed even via the onboard admin GUI. If i swop the onboard administrator onto the other 3020 then i can ping the first 3020 again but not the one that now has the onboard administrator in it this now becomes unaccessible via the 172.16.0.0/16 address.
The 3020 Fastethernet F0 is not able to have VLAN's assigned to it and is not accessible externally, it just connects internally to the onboard administrator.
This means with the present setup at least one 3020 is unaccessible.

I have attached the 3020 configs below... port g0/17 is the uplink to the cores, port g0/22 is the link to the onboard admin and g0/23-24 will link to other switches in the enclosure.
Eventually there will be a redundent onboard admin so both g0/22 ports on the 3020's will be used.
