default gatewy and dhcp helper

[asus zowey]

Hello everyone,

i would appreciate it if any one could help me with the following

WAN network--- switch stack---- lan ( another switch stack - access switch- end devices)

i want to configure the core switch stack as a default gateway and dhcp helper for every vlan in the lan

can anyone provide a configuration template ?

I think you're understanding correctly. That sounds right to me...

is the ip address configured under the int vlan on the core layer a network addess (192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 ?) or a normal host address ?

i know the ones configured on the agg/access layers should be host addresses

Asus,

The core would also be a normal address like:

Core:

int vlan 1

ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

On your access switches:

Access switch 1:

int vlan 1

ip address 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0

Access switch 2:

int vlan 1

ip  address 192.168.1.3 255.255.255.0

etc.

Make sure that you don't have any addressing conflicts and you would be fine...

HTH,
John
