Check that the IP address you used matches the one assigned to the switch.

To check that RIP is configured correctly, enter the command:

SHOW IP RIP

To check that the IP Telnet server is enabled on each switch, enter the 
command.

SHOW IP

If the Telnet server is disabled, enable the Telnet server with the command:

ENABLE TELNETSERVER

If Telnet into a host on the remote LAN fails, but works into the remote 
switch, check that the IP address you are using is correct. To check that 
both switches are gateways, not servers, enter the command:

SHOW IP

The “IP Packet Forwarding” field in the output should be set to “Enabled”. 
Refer to the documentation for the host TCP/IP software for more 
information about configuring a gateway.

The host’s TCP/IP software should be configured to use the Head Office 
switch as its gateway. Refer to the documentation for the host TCP/IP 
software for more information about configuring a gateway.

If problems persist, contact your authorised distributor or reseller for 
assistance.

If your switch is acting as a DHCP client the switch should receive its IP 
address dynamically. If your switch is not receiving an IP address, check that 
the domain name and host name are correct.

If your switch is not assigning IP addresses to a host, or hosts, on the subnet 
perform this procedure:

1.

Reboot the host machine, to force it to re-request IP settings.

2.

Check the host’s TCP/IP settings.
