Hello ,

Create trunk between 2960 and 3560 switch allowing network A VLAN and create an SVI for network A in 3560 switch which would be the gateway for all host in network A.

Create a Point to point link between router and 3560 over /30 subnet for static routing or if you want to do via dynamic that can be also done.

Lets suppose you choose static then put a static route towards 3560 interface which is directly connected via router and in 3560 drop a default route toward router interface.

By doing above you have connectivity between networks.

Hope it Helps..

Hi Ganesh Hariharan,

Please look into running config of Cisco 2960 switch and Multilayer switch 3560:

2960:

interface FastEthernet0/1

switchport trunk allowed vlan 3,12

switchport mode trunk

!

interface FastEthernet0/2

switchport access vlan 3

switchport mode access

!

interface FastEthernet0/3

switchport access vlan 3

switchport mode access

!

interface FastEthernet0/4

switchport access vlan 3

!

interface FastEthernet0/5

3560

!

interface FastEthernet0/2

switchport access vlan 12

819 HGW Router:

interface GigabitEthernet0

ip address 172.25.29.237 255.255.255.248

!

After configuration i cant ping both PCs from network A to Network B

Hello ,

You have same ip address configured on VLAN 12 on L3 switch and on router interface Gig0.

Change the ip address at router level to 172.25.29.238 255.255.255.248 and configure a route in router for VLAN 3 subnet 131.107.0.1/24 towards 172.25.29.237.

and in L3 switch configure a default route 0.0.0.0/0 172.25.29.238 255.255.255.248

Hope it Helps..

Hi,

after changes same result.

Are you able to ping router interface from 3560 switch ?

and could you please share the show run in 3560 and in router .

can you please assist me through email, i have sent Packet tracer file to you for better understand what i want, because in my real scenario is same as I depict in this topology. please share your email address.

Can you attach the pkt tracer file to this post?

  What interfaces are you using to connect between the 3560 and router ?   You will need to connect those 2 devices with a link using a /30 subnet .  I don't see that in your  configs .  and then create statics pointing to each others subnets across that link unless you are using routing protocols between the 3560 and the router .  Also you really don't need any kind of trunking between the 2960 and the 3560 seeing it's a single subnet  it can be made an access port in vlan 3  on both sides .

please find attach file

The concept is to configure:

A- Inter-VLAN routing.

B- SVI.
