VLan routing - Only works when switch is default gateway
I have a Dell PowerConnect 6224 routing between VLans, however the devices on the vlans can only access each other if the switch is set as the default gateway.
How can I make it so the vlans can access anything on subnets assigned to the others?
vlan1 = management vlan (not routable)
vlan2 = lan
vlan3 = replication
I want vlan 2 and 3 to be able to be able to communicate without having the switch as the gateway. Thanks!

...and I wonder about your VLAN1 (not routable). What do you mean by that? No default gateway on the VLAN1? I'd question that design, but perhaps that's another topic...

Great info Netjgrnaut. Makes total sense now. Very, very helpful.
Dell switches don't allow routing on the management vlan. Not sure what that's all about. So you can either create new vlans and get rid of the management vlan or just leave it with 1 port. I decided to leave it. Don't like deleting things.
Ok I was hoping not to have to change the default gateway of all the devices on my lan. It's ok on the vlan3 as it won't have many devices. Is there a way so I don't have to change all those devices?

I don't mind making vlan3 gateway the switch. It can then route to the edge firewall.
As for Vlan2. If I create the static route from the firewall to the switch, will that then route all traffic to the switch, or just traffic looking for 192.168.66.x?
We have a lot of servers, printers, etc. DHCP will only help a little.

Lan gateway = 192.168.33.1 255.255.248.0 (firewall)
VLan 2 subnet = 192.168.32.0 255.255.248.0
VLan 2 interface ip = 192.168.33.24 255.255.248.0
VLan 3 subnet = 192.168.66.0 255.255.255.240
VLan 3 interface ip = 192.168.66.1 255.255.255.0
Thanks!
