Hi, Let's imagine that you have a L3 switch with a segment (x) serving a (actually more) router feeding another segment (y). The L3 has other BVIs (w and z). Let's also imagine that one has a server belonging to the routed segment y, (y.1) Let's also imagine that the server has crashed, and needs to physically be located at the L3 switch site, several miles from its "home" on physical segment y. Server Y's IP address is, as aforementioned, Y.1. Can routing switch L3 have an individual port configured for an individual host route? So, steps? The static ip route statement is fine, but for the next interface entry? What about the existing ip route to the router server segment X? All routes do go through that L3 first. Router (YX) would also have the static entry for Y.1. Or, am I barking up the wrong pole? Simpler solutions do exist.
