It says the command "ip routing" does not exist. I am in EXEC mode.

6504#config t

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

6504(config)#ip routing

^

% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

I noticed this the other day when I was setting up a Sup720 in the lab. The issue (if you can call it an issue) is you can't disable IP routing on the 6500 running Native IOS so it is always enabled and can't be disabled. Type 'show ip route' and there will be a routing table (assuming you have at least one interface with an IP address).

1. Unless I missed something, I am sure it is running IOS not CatOS.

2. "ip cef" is enabled. It did not solve the issue.

3. Assuming you cannot turn off "ip routing" on, it makes sense because it does show routing tables.

6504#show ip route

Codes: C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP

D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area

N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2

E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP

i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2

ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route

o - ODR, P - periodic downloaded static route

Gateway of last resort is 63.xx.xx.209 to network 0.0.0.0

192.168.197.0/26 is subnetted, 1 subnets

S 192.168.197.64 [1/0] via 172.16.99.100

172.16.0.0/24 is subnetted, 5 subnets

C 172.16.10.0 is directly connected, Vlan10

C 172.16.4.0 is directly connected, Vlan4

C 172.16.5.0 is directly connected, Vlan5

C 172.16.2.0 is directly connected, Vlan2

C 172.16.99.0 is directly connected, Vlan999

63.0.0.0/28 is subnetted, 1 subnets

C 63.xx.xx.208 is directly connected, Vlan3

S* 0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via 63.85.41.209

Now the question is how I can enable inter-VLAN routing? I am not able to ping a host on different VLAN. Please advise.

6504#show ip interface bri

Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol

Vlan1 unassigned YES NVRAM administratively down down

Vlan2 172.16.2.1 YES NVRAM up up

Vlan3 63.xx.xx.219 YES NVRAM up up

Vlan4 172.16.4.1 YES NVRAM up up

Vlan5 172.16.5.1 YES NVRAM up up

Vlan10 172.16.10.1 YES NVRAM up up

Vlan999 172.16.99.1 YES NVRAM up up

GigabitEthernet1/1 unassigned YES unset up up

GigabitEthernet1/2 unassigned YES unset up up

....

If you want to ping from one vlan to the other, make sure that the default gateway on the hosts on these vlans is set to the IP address of their respective vlan interface.

Hope this helps,

All host's default gateways are set to the IP address of their respective VLAN interface already. In my case, 172.16.xx.1.

Sounds a bit bizarre.... Check the ARP cache on your PC for the gateway, make sure it is the 6500's MAC address for that VLAN. Try some traceroutes from your PC. It's not just XP's firewall is it?

Where are the hosts?

- different building or they are directly connection to 6504?

- check trunking

- check vlan pruning

- check vtp domain on the other switches.

check access switch;

- switch mode access

- switch acc vlan x

DHCP Scope configured?

- are you able to get IP address on host? or u r assigning static? check subnet mask, de.gateway...

If you are running hybrid; L2; sup1,2,320,720

When you telnet;

are you running any type of routing protocol?

an example;

router eigrp 1

network 10.x.x.x

network x.x.x.x

no auto-summary

!ip classless

no ip forward-protocol nd

no ip forward-protocol udp tftp

no ip forward-protocol udp nameserver

no ip forward-protocol udp domain

no ip forward-protocol udp time

no ip forward-protocol udp netbios-ns

no ip forward-protocol udp netbios-dgm

no ip forward-protocol udp tacacs

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.x ; if you have pix or depand on your network topology

ip route x.x.x.x 255.255.0.0 x.x.x.x ; if you have pix or depand on your network topology

no ip http server ; to run off your http svr

or you can route it STATIC;

by ip route IP; x.x.x. Sub.Mask; x.x.x.x to destination...

Can you send us "show run" on supx and MSFC?

and if it is possible your network topology?

The two vlans are directly connected to the 6500. There is no need for a routing protocol in this scenario.
