Comware

Im having issues routing traffic using static multi-hop routing. Due to political reasons I'm limited to static routing rather than a dynamic protocol. I've called HP tech support but they couldn't figure it out even though they agreed that it should work.

I currently have a topology of 3 seperate sites:

     Site 1  (10.1.0.0/16): 3800 - IP Address 10.1.1.1/24

     Site 2 (10.2.0.0/16): 8212zl - IP Address 10.2.1.1/24

     Site 3: (10.3.0.0/16): 8206zl - IP Address 10.3.1.1/24

There is a 1Gbps fiber link from Site 1 to Site 2. 

There is a 10Gbps fiber link from Site 2 to Site 3.

Site 1 can reach Site 2 but not Site 3.

Site 2 can reach both Site 1 and Site 3.

Site 3 can reach Site 2 but not Site 1.

Site 1 config:

Vlan 1
IP Address 10.1.1.1/24
Vlan 2
IP Address 10.1.2.1/24
Vlan 101 #connected to site 2 via fiber
IP Address 192.168.1.1/30
IP Routing
IP Route 10.2.0.0/16 192.168.1.2
IP Route 10.3.0.0/16 192.168.1.2

Site 2 config:

Vlan 1
IP Address 10.2.1.1/24
Vlan 2
IP Address 10.2.2.1/24
Vlan 101 #connected to site 1 via fiber
IP Address 192.168.1.2/30
Vlan 102 #connected to site 3 via fiber
IP Address 192.168.1.5/30

IP Routing
IP Route 10.1.0.0/16 192.168.1.1
IP Route 10.3.0.0/16 192.168.1.6

Site 3 config:

Vlan 1
IP Address 10.3.1.1/24
Vlan 2
IP Address 10.3.2.1/24
Vlan 102 #connected to site 2 via fiber
IP Address 192.168.1.6/30

IP Routing
IP Route 10.1.0.0/16 192.168.1.5
IP Route 10.2.0.0/16 192.168.1.5

Anyone have any ideas?

Double-check all your subnet masks.

It all looks pretty simple and should work.

Do a "show ip rout" on each switch and show us what appears.

when you do your ping tests you use source IP address of site to site networks (192.168.0.0), that are out of your static routing plan (10.1/2/3.0.0). Add 192.168.0.0 static routes or make extended pings.

Actually it's normal your behavior, routers do what are configured for, they don't have 192.168.0.0 reachability information
