Cisco 3550 Layer 3 Routing 2

[swishy]

Hi Everyone

I have a 3550 which I would like to use as a router to allow devices on two different IP ranges to communicate with each other. I have some servers on 192.168.x.x and users on 194.81.x.x. which need to access these servers I was think about setting up two vlans and static routing between the two. Any help on how to do this would be appreciated.

Hi

conf t

Thanks for that. Do I just need to give each vlan an IP Address i.e FA0/1 - 192.168.1.1 and FA0/24 - 194.81.1.1 (I'm only going to use these ports so it's like a router)
And do I need to put any static routes in ?

Thank you

Each VLAN needs an IP address in order for the switch to route them. However, the correct syntax is "interface vlan 1" then "ip adress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx".

If you assign an IP address to a port, it removes that port from the VLAN.
