IP Routing between HP 4208vl to a Stacked HP 2920
Posted on 2014-03-31
I will try my best to explain this.
Main Core Switch: HP 4208vl (11.40 Firmware)
IP Routing: Enabled
IP Default GW: 192.168.8.1
IP: 192.168.8.2 - VLAN8 (Primary Management)
Blade - G1 - X2 10GbE Fiber Module (Untagged on VLAN8)
Blade - H1 - X2 10GbE Fiber Module (Untagged on VLAN8)
New VMware Setup
(2) HP 2920-24 Port with Stacking Enabled - Ring Configuration (Cabling)
IP Routing: Enabled
IP Default GW: 192.168.80.1
IP: 192.168.80.2 - VLAN1 (Primary Management)
Switch #1: Port A1 - 10GbE Fiber Module SFP+
Switch #2: Port A1 - 10GbE Fiber Module SFP+
When I am on DC (192,168.8.13) connected to the HP 4208VL switch; I try to ping 192.168.80.1 and receive "TTL expired in Transit"
The local router (Cisco 2921 running IOS 15.1) at this building and its IP is 192.168.8.1 and has IP Routing RIP Ver2 enabled and Network 192.168.80.0 listed.
I believe this is either a routing issue or a stacking config issue. I tried researching about stacking but only found that i just need to type enable stacking on both of the 2920 switches. I know that part is fine because when I connect to the console ports i get the same config. I checked the config and it is turned on.
I just want these stacked switches to talk to the core (4208vl) switch. Any info to get this resolved would be greatly appreciated. I do have support on everything and will see if HP will help tomorrow morning. I just want to get this fixed so I don't waste my consultant's time on this issue.
I will work on a diagram later on tonight and post it because usually that clears up some questions people might have.
