Configuring Nortel ERS 1624G switch to allow traffic internet accessible

[yannsopheak]

Dear every body,

Now, I am using the Nortel ERS 1624G Switch with latest version of 2.1 firmware.

Before using this switch (ERS 1624G), I used to configured the Nortel 2525T switch and made if fine for allowing internet accessible for the whole network.

But now when my manager asked me to use the ERS 1624G in the distribution switch, I can not configure this to allow internet access to the entire network. In my current network setting, we used VLAN 111 as management vlan, and vlan 200 and vlan 131 are the access vlans to other departments.

I have configured my ERS 1624G like this:

# Create VLAN 111 management vlan, for remote access to the switch
ERS-1624:1#config vlan 111 create byport 1 name MANAGEMENT
ERS-1624:1#config vlan ports add 1/1-1/24
ERS-1624:1#save config

# Assigning IP address to VLAN 111
ERs-1624:1#config vlan 111 ip create 10.16.1.222/24
ERS-1624:1#save config

# Enable remote access
ERS-1624:1#config bootconfig flags telnetd true
ERS-1624:1#config bootconfig flags tftpd true
ERS-1624:1#save config

# Setting trunking on port 1
ERS-1624:1#config ethernet1/1 perform-tagging enable
ERS-1624:1#save config

# Setting default route
ERS-1624:1#config ip static-route create 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop 10.16.1.1 cost 10
ERS-1624:1#save config

I think it should work and pass traffic internet through this device to all clients, but not. I want to notice that, this switch is connected to backbone Cisco Catalyst 6509 switch

Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

yannsopheak,

One question, What is the default gateway for clients on VLAN 200 and VLAN 131?

If it is the 1624 you will need to configure a ip address for VLAN 200 and VLAN 131 and then local routing will use the static route you created to route traffic to 10.16.1.1 (which i assume is the Cat6500)

If it is the Cat6500 you will need to add VLAN 200 and VLAN 131 to port 1/1, so that the traffic will be bridged to the Cat6500 and routed there. (The static route is nothing more than for the Management Interface now)

Good Luck

I didn't want to do inter vlan for routing, i just want to internet traffic through that ERS switch. I have two servers providing DHCP already like showing in the picture.
By this illustrated picture, my goal is just want the clients in both VLAN 200 and VLAN 131 can obtain their dhcp ip address from their individual server.

Then you would want to go with the second suggestions

"you will need to add VLAN 200 and VLAN 131 to port 1/1, so that the traffic will be bridged to the Cat6500 and routed there. (The static route is nothing more than for the Management Interface now)"

Hi yannsopheak,

check if you have the following configurations:

for Port 1/1 and Port 1/2

ethernet 1/x perform-tagging enable
vlan 200 ports add 1/2-1/2

On your Catalyst and your ERS2526T also the VLAN tragging (802.1Q) and the VLAns have also configured on the uplinks to the ERS1624G.

On Avaya gear you have always to add the VLAN to the ports explicet. Thats is the opposit to the Cisco style where all VLANs are added to a trunk and you can ristrict with allowed VLAN command wich VLANs can be communicate over it.

Good Luck

Thank you very much for helping me solving this problem.

Thanks everyone for helping me

Now i can route and forward packet. the problem is that I forget to add ports to the vlan 111
