P/s: I have one head office and two other branches are in two different cities, so how I connect them and using what in PCT

Hello,
the subinterfaces are connected to the HCM_Switch. That is where the Vlans are, the subinterfaces on the router are essentially 'externalized' SVIs.
Have a look at the document below which explains the router-on-a-stick concept:

Hello,
post the zipped project (.pkt) file you are working on now...

Hello,
--> interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0 (the physical interface) on the router was shut. You need to 'no shut' it, otherwise the subinterfaces won't come up
--> FastEthernet0/5 on the HCM_Switch needs to be a trunk
--> the subinterface GigabitEthernet0/0/0.90 needs an IP address
Attached the revised file...

So the other switches in those cluster need default gateway right ?
And also need to create vlan for each switch
11-26-2021 04:16 AM
Hello,
on each switch, you need to configure the below:
interface Vlan100
mac-address 0001.4269.eb02
ip address 172.169.100.2 255.255.255.0 <-- the IP address needs to be a different one for each switch
!
ip default-gateway 172.169.100.1
Create the Vlan on the HCM_Switch, and a subinterface for that Vlan on the router.

Hi,
I have configure those address, and can you check it ?
Also why I have set the route from Server Site to those floors in HCM_Switch but if failed ?
Can you explain and show me how to configure the route for them to ping to each other
Those devices in each vlans can ping to each other right now but can't ping to other devices in others site
File attached below sir

Hello,
the attached file you sent has no Vlan 100 confgiuration at all. Did you create the subinterface on the router, and the Vlan 100 interfaces on the switches ?
Also, you have enabled IP routing on the HCM_Switch and enabled interfaces that belong to...which Vlans ? If you enable ip routing on the switch, the switch effectively becomes a router, and the subinterfaces that are already configured on the router make no sense anymore.
Take the original file I sent, and just add the Vlan 100 subinterface in the same way the other subinterfaces are configured.

I have configure vlan 100 for each switch but it failed ! I don't know why.
Also, why the route can't be go through

Hello,
use the file I sent you originally. The HCM_Switch is the VTP server, you only need to configure the Vlan on that switch. It will be propagated to the other connected VTP client switches.

Hello,
let me ask you: are you following a class, online or with a live instructor ?
Your switch has ip routing enabled, and SVIs configured with the same IP addresses configured on the subinterfaces of the router. There is no routing whatsoever configured.
What instructions are you following ? Can you send those over (the same as with your previous project) ?

Hello,
first of all, you need to decide which device you want to do the inter-Vlan routing: the switch, or the router ?
