Routing VLANs
Let s say I have 10 Layer 2 Switches with 2 VLans on each switch, then connect those 10 Switches to a Core/Distribution Layer 3 Switch. Then Route all Vlans from Core Switch to Router R1
If I am not wrong I will need to Configure a Trunk port on each L2 Switch and connect them (all Trunk ports)to Core/Distribution Layer 3 Switch ports. Then configure IP Routing command within Core/Distribution Layer 3 Switch so that VLANs can communicate between themselve. At this point PCs on L2 Switch will be able to communicate between themselves...
Now if I need to route the VLANs from Core/Distribution Layer 3 Switch to Router R1 , what should I configure on Core/Distribution Layer 3 Switch and R1 ?
Thank you

OK , for instance
Core# IP route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 IP address of the Router Interface
How do you do it from R1 back to the Core switch ?
