Hi

You have not attached the configs.

Let me guess your problem from the routing table....

(1)You need to do inter-vlan routing between both the switches. But for that they you need to really make both the 31.34 and 30.0 L2. You need to give "no ip routing"

(2)Secondly, create two different vlans for both the switches, apart from vlan 1. Say u created vlan 30 and 31.

(3)On the L3 switch define both the vlans and in L2, assign vlan to the respective ports.The cable between L2 and L3 should be a trunk.

(4)In L3, give Ips on vlan 30 and 31, which will act as default gateways for L2s.

(5)In L3 configure EIGRP with the networks 30.0 and 31.34.

(6)Configure the pcs with ip and default gateway( which is in L3)

This would do for u.

Hope that will help.

Thank for you replies.

Can you explain what info you need in addition to the diagram and the current route tables?

Is there a simpler way I can do this with EIGRP on all three devices? They are all L3

capable 3560's...

If I use iter-VLAN routing that will redirect the default routes on the two L2 switches to the L3 middle switch, which I can't do.

Let me try to re-frame the question this way.

I need to go from the before topology to the after as shown in the attached diagram. Can I make all the switches L3 and use EIGRP to make it happen? How would I set this up?

Thanks again...

Hi

Yes its possible.You can make all the switches L3.

And that application is based on simple P2p routing.

I will give the config for one link, hope that u will manage second on ur own.

3560 access>

ip routing

int vlan 1

ip add 172.23.30.1/26

no shut

int f0/0

sw mode acc

int g0/0

dec "Connected to Core"

no switchport

ip add 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0

router eigrp 1

net 172.23.30.0

net 192.168.1.0

3560 Core>

ip routing

int vlan 1

ip add 10.90.153.1/24

no shut

int f0/0

sw mode acc

int g0/0

dec "Connected to Access"

no switchport

ip add 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0

router eigrp 1

net 10.0.0.0

net 192.168.1.0

Basically what I am doing is creating router ports on both the switches and connecting the and giving them the IPs.

On both the sides int vlan1 is configures for the access IP pool.

Eigrp will create dynamic routes.

Pls try this. This should work.

Revert back in case of any problem.

Thank you very much!

Does one of the router ports need to be 192.168.1.1/24 ?

I want to try to do this with Network Assistant for fun...

Is creating the router ports the same as using the Smartports "router" setting in NA and assigning it to (default vlan1)?

Hi

This is a WAN link IP, can be anything which suits you.

No, I dont think this command you will get it GUI, anyway, I never have used any GUI either.

Pls rate all helpfull posts.
