6503 switch configuration

<router>-<outsideswitch>-<Pix 515E>-<insideswitch>--[6503]-----LAN
I’m trying to connect Pix to our lab (config above) and I’m not familiar with the 6503 switch.   I see sc0 set to ip-add/netmask_broadcast-ip.  When I look at sh ip route I see gateway as the sc0 ip address.  Do I need to make this gateway the ip address of the Pix and if so how would I do that.  I know the set ip route default but would I make it primary?  Also, I noticed that I can’t ping anything from the 6503 except the Cisco switches that show up in cdp neighbor.  Is this normal?  Outside and inside switch are 3500 series.  Inside switch is connected to 6503 from gig port to gig port on 6503.  6503 has only sup mod no routing and 16 port gig mod.

Yes, if the pix has the layer three interface for the network the 6503 SC0 interface is on.

> I know the set ip route default but would I make it primary?
also, "set ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 <next_hop>

They are probably on the same subnet, once the default route is setup you will be ok

-I know the set ip route default but would I make it primary?
also, "set ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 <next_hop>
--So, it would be set ip route [Pix inside interface IP]/[netmask] 1 or primary
and will this affect the gateway thats already on the 6503?


-Also, I noticed that I can’t ping anything from the 6503 except the Cisco switches that show up in cdp neighbor.
They are probably on the same subnet, once the default route is setup you will be ok
--What I'm saying here is, from the 6503 I can only ping what I see in cdp neighbor (connected switches).  I can't ping any servers that are connected to the 6503 from the 6503.  Is this normal?
