sounds like what you've got is a collapsed core.  the core being the backplane of the 5000 and the distribution being the 5000 ports participating in vlan.  You will need to use layer 3 anytime one segment needs to communicate with another, this can be done with either a L3 sw or a router...

Ah, yes, another lost soul in G-L3 land. My 2948G-L3 is, indeed, at the core. Quite a useful multilayer model device. I like it. You can divide your class B into those 8 subnets, assign a BVI to each, and then attach whatever ports to that bridge-group that you need. Nice for servers back '
