I'm sorry insharie, it looks like what I posted yesterday didn't even show up in the question. Here's the original question which I hope makes it more clear as to why I'm asking. Simply using a Default-Gateway doesn't pass the entire 7 layers back to the access layer switches on the right side of the diagram:
The left side of the cloud is the Core of the Network which has a Fiber Agg Switch to connect 9 different LAN's (Districts), of the network on a fiber backbone. EIGRP is running at the Core and on the Edge. OSPF along with EIGRP is running on the Core for the Data Center because of non-Cisco switches in the DC (not my choice).
The right side of the cloud shows 1 LAN starting with a Fiber Edge Sw connected to a Distribution Stack of 2 Switches which has 5 separate Access Layer switches for the different departments. I left out the rest of the connections coming out of the Dist Sw because my question concentrates on a Wireless Ring Network for IP Surveillance Cameras in remote locations. 2 of the remote locations need Access Layer Switches for end-user connectivity and the other 2 are exclusive for video. The radio's are UMX IP radios for the transport. The switches to connect the radios and to the Access Layer Switches are exclusive Layer 2 industrial grade N-Tron Switches. I broke the Wireless Ring after the last Access Layer point going to the 2 endpoints which shows in the bottom right corner of the drawying. 1 N-Tron switch in the top right of the drawing (Network) is temporarily being replaced with a hub for connectivity since the N-Tron isn't working correctly and will be replaced. All switches involved in this setup have IPServices (layer 3) IOS'.
My question is: Can I take out the Default Gateway on all the Access Layer Switches and put IP Routing with EIGRP in this segment without creating a routing loop? If so, do I have to set this end up as a Stub?
I hope all you Guru's can understand all of this and thank you in advance.
