RE: Quick Cisco test network question..
Ok I was on vacation Trying to finish this up... I used option 1 with a vlan interface. Besides the routing vlan interface I will have 3 others that need to get trunked across the fiber. Vlan 2, 3, 4... for each vlan I assigned it a ip address of 192.168.2.254 255.255.255.0 for vlan 2 etc. Is the default gateway for this switch 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 then? I think it is, but wanted to make sure. Thanks... From: Aaron T.

Yes you *would* need something in the interface to make the port live and establish it as a connected interface in the switch's routing table. L2 ports configured as L3 Routed interfaces are nice when you only have 1 subnet and aren't trunking any VLANs - in other words, you'd have to setup separate ports for each subnet you have. Essentially, imagine this scenario as having an actual router (not a switch) with 24 independent interfaces that are *routed* (NOT switched) at L3.

RE: Quick Cisco test network question..
Depends - For the switch itself, you'll want the default gateway to be another device on your network that is accessible through the switch's VLAN interfaces (subnets), or through the native VLAN interface. This device should also provide connectivity to the rest of your network. So, as an example... pretend 192.168.1.254 is the gateway router for all of your network to get out to the rest of the network and it connects to the 3550 off of Vlan1. Your setup would be as follows: Interface Vlan1 ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 interface Vlan2 ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0 ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254 -or- ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Vlan1 HTH, Aaron Rohyans IT Coordinator, IDC-USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 317.244.8307 (V) 317.244.4600 (F) From: Chyka, Robert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2008 9:07 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Quick Cisco test network question..

Ok...sorry for the confusion im just trying to sort this out. There isn't a router involved so all we have is 2 switches connected by fiber. From the routing core switch (3550) I want to set up 4 vlans so that I can program layer 2 ports on the 3550 and 2950 at the other end of the fiber. I need to trunk the g0/1 ports with 802.1q. This is what I have on the routing switch (3550) Interface vlan 2 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0 Interface vlan 3 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.0 Interface vlan 10 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0 Interface vlan 100 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 IP routing ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 1.1.1.254 not sure what default gateway should be etc to get the intravlan routing thanks again..im starting to get it.. From: Aaron T. Rohyans [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2008 1:31 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Quick Cisco test network question.. Depends - For the switch itself, you'll want the default gateway to be another device on your network that is accessible through the switch's VLAN interfaces (subnets), or through the native VLAN interface. This device should also provide connectivity to the rest of your network. So, as an example... pretend 192.168.1.254 is the gateway router for all of your network to get out to the rest of the network and it connects to the 3550 off of Vlan1. Your setup would be as follows: Interface Vlan1 ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 interface Vlan2 ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0 ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254 -or- ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Vlan1 HTH, Aaron Rohyans IT Coordinator, IDC-USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 317.244.8307 (V) 317.244.4600 (F) From: Chyka, Robert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2008 9:07 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Quick Cisco test network question.. Ok I was on vacation Trying to finish this up... I used option 1 with a vlan interface. Besides the routing vlan interface I will have 3 others that need to get trunked across the fiber. Vlan 2, 3, 4... for each vlan I assigned it a ip address of 192.168.2.254 255.255.255.0 for vlan 2 etc. Is the default gateway for this switch 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 then? I think it is, but wanted to make sure

Yes you *would* need something in the interface to make the port live and establish it as a connected interface in the switch's routing table. L2 ports configured as L3 Routed interfaces are nice when you only have 1 subnet and aren't trunking any VLANs - in other words, you'd have to setup separate ports for each subnet you have. Essentially, imagine this scenario as having an actual router (not a switch) with 24 independent interfaces that are *routed* (NOT switched) at L3. This is not to say, however, that you can't have both routed interfaces and SVIs (VLAN Interfaces) running parallel - with multiple hosts (in multiple VLANs) communicating with the SVI through L2 ports. In your situation - I'd go w/ the VLAN interfaces as you're probably trunking more than 1 VLAN across that fiber and will want multiple L2 ports on the 3550 and 2950 to have connectivity to the gateway address.
