We've just implemented a VLAN network in our company. Everything went
smooth except our Exchange Clauster, only the systems in the VLAN that
Exchange belongs to can see it. For some reason Win2k3 with Exchange 2k3
does not allow the routing to be inheritered from the firewall. All the
other servers running Win2k and Win2k3 Standard in the Exchange VLAN are
visible from the other VLANs. There is something between the combo Win2k3
and Exch 2k3 that does not allow it to route properly. Does anyone have any
leads to this problem? Has anyone experience that same issue?

Thanks in advance.

Exchange completely relies on the network layer to do it's routing.

My guess is that you probably don't have WINS and DNS properly setup and
things can't find each other.

Can all devices ping each other?
Are all default routers/gateways set on all systems correctly?

DNS works like charm! Its only the two nodes that have the problem and
cannot ping to the other VLANs. We can ping the NAS device but not the 2
nodes and the virtual IP. In the same VLAN that Exchange clauster is on, we
have other 20 servers and none have that problem. We had DELL Tech services
with three techs on the phone and we still couldn't figure it out. We have
triple checked the settings on the core switches, we have change ports,
cables and nics, as I stated before all the other servers work fine.
Exchange works great but only the server VLAN. Some how none of the nodes
want to inherit the routes from the gateway.

We've never seen this before. We are completely puzzled of this issue. If
any one has experienced something like this please let me know. I'll be
interested in knowing the reason.

Thanks,

Sal

hi sal!

do you have a default gateway pointing to the vlan-switch or do you use
routing protocols? which protocols?
