I'm having difficulty connecting a brand new 6509 to a 3500. For the 3500 I put the ip address 192.168.3.150 on Vlan1 and added a default-gateway 192.168.3.254. Now on the 6509, I set FA2/1 to 192.168.3.100. Default-gateway is the same as that for the 3500. Port FA2/1 of the 6509 connects with multimode fiber jacks via a media converter to Port FA0/1 of the 3500. Port FA0/24 of the 3500 connects to a wall jack and hence the outside world. >From the 3500 I can see the outside world but I can't reach the 6509 and needless to say I can't get out of the 6509. I'm connecting to both switches via console ports. Why is that the 6509 can't ping the 3500 or vice versa? What am I doing wrong? I guess plenty, being a newbie. Thanks.
