Routing Between VLANS on Layer 3 Switch

Translator

Good morning everyone!

I have "one" Cisco Layer 3 Catalyst 2960-X Series Switch for backbone and "two" Cisco Layer 2 Business 220 Series Switches as the access switch.

I am working with 3 different VLANs: VLAN-1, VLAN-2, and VLAN-100.

However, when I configure the switch interface in VLAN-2 or VLAN-100, and the end device in these two bands, I do not have access to the internet. I wonder how I would create a routing for all VLANS/lanes to have internet access.

VLAN-1 - 192.168.1.0/24

VLAN-2 - 192.168.2.0/24

VLAN-100 - 192.168.100.0/24

Note: I have a pfSense as the default gateway (192.168.1.1). I don't know if you can influence anything.

Thank you in advance.

Make sure VLAN is allowed in the Trunk going from the core switch to the access switch

on Pfsense you need to add the new IP address to NAT for the internet to work. also from pfsense you need a static route back for that IP address towards vlan 100 IP configured on Core switch

I think more information is needed about your configuration to give you some advice. pfSense and a L3 switch can be configured in a couple of ways.

Hello
I assume the PfSence rtr/fw will be performing Nat for 192.168.1.0/24 subnet

So what you need to do is to append the nat policy on that rtr/fw to accommodate the two other vlans you have created on the switch (vlan 2 &100)

Then add two static routes for those subnets pointing to the switches vlan 1 interface On the switch enable ip routing and add a default route pointing to the pfSence rtr/fw

Example Sw:
ip routing
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 vlan 1 192.168.1.X name pfsence_nexthop

The static route for VLAN-1 was created by following this command: "ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0 vlan 1 192.168.1.1 name pfSense".

For VLAN-2 and VLAN-100 this would be:

"ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 vlan 100 192.168.1.1 name pfSense".

"ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 vlan 2 192.168.1.1 name pfSense".

Correct?
