This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough on configuring IPv4 static routes and IP interfaces supported switches. Currently, the Nebula-compatible devices for the features include:
- XMG1930 Series
- XGS2200 Series
- XS1930 Series
- XGS1930 Series
- XS3800 Series
The configuration process included the followings steps:
- For static routing, your switch must have an IP interface within the subnet of the next hop. This could be a Management VLAN interface or other VLAN interfaces.
- To set up a new IP interface, navigate to Site-wide > Configure > Switch > IP & routing. In the "IP Interface" section, select 'add' to create a new IP interface on the switch for L3 static routes. Remember, a single switch cannot have two IP interfaces within the same subnet.
- By default, the switch directs client traffic to its default route learned via DHCP IP in the management VLAN. Therefore, if you need to access a subnet behind this default gateway, configuring an additional static route on the L3 switch isn't necessary (Gateway must configure static routes as well).
- The static route is essential when the next hop is located on a network that is not the default route. For instance, if the network 192.168.20.0/24 lies behind a different router than the default gateway, a static route in the L3 switch is required for communication with its local VLAN interface.
- To configure this, go to Site-wide > Configure > Switch > IP & routing. In the "Static Route" section, click 'add' to set up a new static route.
- The destination should be the network your switch's local VLAN interface needs to access (e.g., 192.168.20.0/24). The Next Hop IP Address should be a gateway's WAN IP address.
Once these steps are completed and the router at 192.168.1.3 has a route back (192.168.10.0/24 next hop =192.168.1.2), your switch’s local VLAN interface 192.168.10.0/24 should successfully communicate with the subnet 192.168.20.0/24.
