Hi,
We have a Cisco 2950-24 switch on a remote location with single vlans.
Is it possible to do routing between vlans on that switch?
Best regards
Jorg

Hi Jorg
Unfortunatley not. The 2950 range of switches are purely Layer 2 switches.
Your only options to provide routing between the vlans on your 2950 switch is either
a. Uplink the switch to a router and configure "router on a stick (ROAS)" to provide inter vlan routing.
b. Swap the switch for a 3560/3750 model. These are multi layer switches and will provide intervlan routing. You will require the EMI image if you want to run routing protocols (RIP, OSPF, EIGRP etc).

hi thanks a lot. then we need to upgrade the switch to a 3750 model. Or use multiple ip subnets in 1 vlan for the time being.

Hi
Yes u need to upgrade u r switches,before using the multiple subnets in u r switch verify weather u r able configure multiple ip address under u r SVI on this switch.
Thanks

Hi,
T think it is possible to use multiple ip subnets under 1 vlan as it is configured then as a layer 2 vlan, so 1 broadcast domain for different ip subnets.
