moaung_sg · ‎08-26-2010

Hi all,

We are trying to change switch management vlan from vlan 10 to vlan 20 with different gateway...

but we donot have remote hand support and how can we shut the current active L3 valn and un shut the new L3 vlan remotely?

If I am not wrong changing default gateway will not lost the connectivity... right?

How do we know.. the switch support only one L3 vlan?

Thanks,

Hi Aung

This is one possibilty You can use

1. Make sure You have a tftpserver running

2. Load the config to the server with "copy running tftp"

3. Edit the file on the tftpserver , replace the interface vlan 10 with interface vlan 20, change ip address, change default-gateway.

4. Upload the config to the switch "copy tftp startup"

5. Make sure You have vlan20 in the vlan database.

6. Reload the switch

This is another way to do it

1. Make sure You have a tftpserver running

2. Load the config to the server with "copy running tftp"

3. Edit the file on the tftpserver , so it looks like this,

< config above unchanged >

interface vlan 10

no ip address

shutdown

interface vlan 20

ip address < new address >

no shutdown

no ip default-gateway < old entry >

ip default-gateway < new entry >

< config below unchanged>

4. Upload the config to the switch "copy tftp startup"

5. Verify the config in the startup with "show start"

6. Make sure You have vlan20 in the vlan database.

7. Configure the switch with "config mem". This takes 5 to 10 seconds. You will loose you telnet, then do a new telnet to the new address.

The second option is not interupting any user traffic.
