Need help with setting up Cisco 3550 to route to 1841 router

[Aaron Polanco]

Can someone help me with setting up a Cisco 3550 Layer 3 Switch to route to Cisco 1841 router.

[Aaron Polanco]

Also, I would like assitance with setting up layer 3 routing between Cisco 3550 switches.

Configuring InterVLAN Routing and ISL/802.1Q Trunking on a Catalyst 2900XL/3500XL/2950 Switch Using an External Router

[Aaron Polanco]

I have two networks that I need to connect via Cisco 3550 layer 3 switches through their fastEthernet ports. the spoke networks are 10.3.0.0 255.255.0.0 and 10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0. The hub network is 10.2.0.0 255.255.0.0.

What would the first step be?

[Aaron Polanco]

I will not be using routing protocols.

[Aaron Polanco]

I plan to:

configure ip routing on the Cisco 3550 switch.

configure a no switchport with an IP Address on the Fastethernet interface leading to the Cisco 1841 router.

Configure default route leading to the Cisco 1841 router.

How would I connect the other two switches from different networks to the Cisco 3550 layer 3 device connected to the Cisco 1841 router?

This what I want to do, or need to do. Setup my Cisco 3550 layer devices to route between locations.

Hi,

How would I connect the other two switches from different networks to  the Cisco 3550 layer 3 device connected to the Cisco 1841 router? 

connect each access switch with a trunk port going to the core L3 switch,,configure the VLANS on the core then configure a VLAN interface for each VLAN in your network that needs communication.

what's your network topology looks like? could you share a brief diagram?

[Simon Leigh]

To the OP:

Is there any particular reason as to why yu dont want to use RIP/EIGRP/OSPF?
