InterVLAN routing issues

Dec 03, 2007 1 Replies

The company that I work for has a linked 3750 switch stack that was only working as a Layer 2 switch and sent all Layer 3 to a external



3745 router via sub-interfaces for inter-VLAN routing. Everything worked fine, but a little slow. The subnets were 172.16.x.x/22,
172.17.x.x/22 and 172.18.x.x/22. I added two new subnets (172.16.128.x/
24 and 172.16.130.x/24) on the 3745 for eventual migration to shorten the subnets and move servers off of the user VLAN.

This weekend I turned on IP routing on the 3750 switch stack, moved the VLAN IP gateway addresses to VLAN interfaces on the switch stack and got them off of the sub-interfaces on the router, turned on EIGRP, changed the link to the external 3745 to a Layer 3 routed interface and made a few other minor tweaks and route changes to get the network up and running.



But one thing that I am noticing is that the VLAN interfaces are not showing the traffic that should be flowing over those interfaces. Everything is working and no users have reported issues, but I still cannot see traffic on the VLAN interface. Any ideas?


What do you mean you don't see the traffic on the vlan interfaces? You don't see anything in the 'output', or are you looking at the tx/ rx load? I dont have any experience with stacks, but which 3750 has the routing vlans on it or do all of them somehow integrate in the stack? If no one is complaining, and routing is working, i'm wondering if you are just looking at something that does not increment on a SVI. Are you running a sniffer? Have you moved any of the clients to the new networks yet? Which vlans are you monitoring and how?
