i have done vlan based HSRP on it, also i have one gateway router connected to MPLS cloud, how do i connect that single router to both the switches? with single gateway ip for both the switches
Unless you want to do something like Integrated Routing and Bridging with interface BVI there is not any way that you can have 2 connections from a single router to 2 switches in the same VLAN.
Do you plan to have the connection between the 4506 be a routed interface or do you plan to have it be a trunk? If you are planning to use it as a routed interface then you should be able to do the inter-vlan routing on the 4506 and treat the connection from one switch to the router as 1 subnet and on the other swtich treat its connection to the router as a different subnet. That would be a way to get around the problem.
