Hello all,
I am working on designing an ESXi lab with several Cisco components in it and I have question about about my edge and how I should route traffic to the internet.
Please see the attached diagram I created for this lab.
My question is, should I use routed ports on my edge switches that face my router and just use a default static route on the edge switches to route the traffic to the internet? I don't want to over complicate the lab too much (yet), so I just wanted to make sure my logic was correct on this. I assume that I would first need to create a default static route on the core switch for the networks I want to route to the edge switches?
Thanks in advance for any insight and advice.

As far as I know you cannot use L3 routed ports on the 2960s.
You can however use a dedicated vlan so the only port in that vlan is the one connecting to the router and then you create an SVI for that vlan and assign your IP there.
A default route on the core switches pointing to edge switches is fine.
