Baystack 5510 Ethernet Routing Switch routing question

  • 772

I'm trying to create a static route on a Baystack 5510 Ethernet Routing Switch with the following:

ip route 192.168.104.220 255.255.255.255 192.168.100.253 en

I'm getting the following error:

Cannot find entry to modify.

What am I missing?

configuration

  1. Could you verify that no route exists with 

    show ip route 192.168.104.220 -s 255.255.255.255
or
show ip route static

    Also if you haven't configured any routing on the switch so far you can manually enable IP routing globally before trying to add the route with the following:

    ip routing
ip route 192.168.104.220 255.255.255.255 192.168.100.253

    You don't specify if you're trying to route a specific vlan or not, but you will have to have an assigned IP on the VLAN(s) you wish to have routing on.

    Jim - I just got the same error with the latest code. Did you ever get it working?

    I will answer my own question:

    Despite what the syntax says with "?" use:

    ip route x.x.x.x y.y.y.y d.d.d.d 1

    The '1' is for a the cost. Just like a router but you have to entre it, not an option.
