Routing between Service Module and interal ports

When you are logged into the Switch module can you ping one of hte routers interfaces?  I know in the current models with switch wics in them yo don't have to do anything its acts as a layer three switch and it knows where the traffic goes because the networks are connected to the device  But if it seems to be running its own IOS it is going to need a route somewhere, does it have a separate routing table?

Can you post a "show IP route" from each device please.

Also according to this guide they will connect through the backplan and there should be no other extra configuration steps needed to get them talking to each other.

I would agree with StrifeJester but the connect only cross connects two devices according to the documentation so I am at an impasse there.

The "switch" has not routing table however the port assigned to the service module "G2/0" has an address of 192.168.254.254/24, and the show ip route on the router is below.

I find that I cannot ping the 192.168.254.254/24 interface when I am working in the switch (no route?) but I can ping that interface when I am back in the router.

OK, now when you are in the switch does it list an extra interface that is not really there to plug anything into.  If i am right there should be 23 FA and 1 Gi on that switch module, if you do a show int status does it list more than that?  I am thinking there is an adapter similar to a gbic that is being routed internally on the router.  G2/0 on the router is not a physical port correct?  Possibly just adding a default route in the switch with the next hop as 192.168.254.254 to resolve the inter device routing.  I am thinking from what i have read on the 3900 that it is handled this way and there is for lack of a better term an invisible trunk between them already.  If this is the case you may also be able to change gi2/0 to be an ip on the same vlan as the switch and eliminate a route.  Can you post the show int status from the router and the switch please.

There seems to be as both port 25 and 26 on the switch would be extra on a 24 port switch, and G2/0 seems to be the module on the router side.

Here is the routers show int stat:

One more thing. There is a desire to run three vlans across to port 1 on the switch so they can be trunked and sent to a remote site.
