I need to start VLANing out an office network and have some questions regarding interVLAN routing.
The network consists of a L2/L3 Cisco 3560 as the core switch and about 15 Catalyst 2960's and 2950's plugged into it for access level switching. The network has 2 subnets and are not separated from eachother by VLANs or router interfaces, which has created a single (large) broadcast domain. Plugged into the core switch is a linux box that provides our routing. It has a single interface with 2 IP's bound to it - each IP is the default gateway of both subnets. Using this setup, I need to figure out how to implement VLANing and move the routing to the 3560.
Cisco has a good document explaning interVLAN routing for the 3560: http://www.ciscosystems.net.ph/en/U...s_configuration_example09186a008019e74e.shtml
I want to use the 3560 as the router now and phase out the linux box, but do so one subnet at a time instead of all at once. If I setup a 3rd subnet, a VLAN, and a VLAN interface for it on the 3560, can the linux box be the default route as suggested in the document? If so, it doesn't need to be a trunk port does it? That's only the case if the linux box does the interVLAN switching right?
