2 subnets - 1 router - HP 2620 Switch routing

Hello

I didn't think this would be too difficult, but it seems it is for me!

I have 1 draytek router - 2830n - 192.168.0.1
I have purchased a HP 2620-24 PoE+ Lite Layer 3 switch - 192.168.0.254
I have 1 subnet on 192.168.0/24
I have 1 subnet on 192.168.1.24

I've put the switch on the 192.168.0.24 subnet. All endpoints on that subnet can access the net ok.

Now, i would like to connect a server from the 1/24 subnet to the switch & have it access the internet via the router 192.168.0.1 (192.168.1.10)

I've enabled IP Routing on the switch, but cannot ping the router from the server. I can ping the switch address ok though.

How do i best accomplish this?

Hello

Thanks for the very descriptive information.

I had the 'router on a stick' scenario working previously, however i would prefer to use the L3 switch if i could. I'm trying to get my head around options & configurations in my lab first, before i will implement a similar setup in my office shortly.

There's a need to put a 2nd subnet in the 1/24 range on a separate VLan to the 0/24 hosts however the 2 will need to be able to talk to each other.

From the server address of 192.168.1.10 i can ping the switch interface address of 192.168.0.254, but i cannot ping the router address of 192.168.0.1.

If i need a default route on the switch, how do i accomplish that?

I believe if you create a second interface on the router for the 2nd vlan, you may be able to get the 2 vlans talking to each other. For instance, 192.168.1.254 needs to be created and if I remember correctly, bound, to vlan 2.

The host on vlan 2 (192.168.1.10) will have to configure the newly created gateway on the switch 192.168.1.254 as its gateway. Try pinging the new 192.168.1.254 gateway from your vlan 2 host after these steps are completed.

Let me know if this gets you further.
