My home network currently has two switches (3560G's) routed at L3 by a Sophos UTM box. For a variety of reasons, I have decided to replace the Sophos with a 2951, but I'm a little stumped as to how to structure the interlinks. Here's my structure:
SW1 - 6 VLANs, all data /no voice. Client ports all configured as access, vlans defined as L3 interfaces on the switch. They are the default gateways for the clients in the same VLAN.
SW2 - 3 VLANS, 2 data, 1 voice. Same structure as SW1 (access ports, L3 vlan ints, etc.)
In my proposed new setup, the 2951 will fulfill multiple roles - border / firewall with my ISP (ZBFW and hopefully IOS IPS) , SSLVPN, and controller for CUCME. I've increased the memory on the router to 2.5gb in anticipation of the need for more memory imposed by the multiple roles. I've also installed an EHWIC-4ESG and VIC2-2FXO.
Here's my problem - the config above gives me 3 L2/L3 ports (GI0/0,0/1, and 0/2) and 4 L2 only ports (GI0/0/0,0/0/1,0/0/2, and 0/0/3). How best to connect the switches to the router in order to facilitate all that I'm trying to do? L2 trunks? L3 ptp?
Any help / suggestions appreciated!
