 I agree with your idea on what to do next. Since the 6248 will be doing the routing we it's not necessary for the firewall to have all of the VLANs on it, unless there is more on the network connecting to the firewall that we don’t know about. I have attached a diagram I have made to help plan the setup out. In the diagram I use VLAN 10 just as an example, it can be any VLAN you want to set it to. But you get the idea that the connecting port between the 6248 and the firewall have it's own VLAN/subnet. We also place a static route on the 6248 that is set to perform the routing. This directs the traffic from the different VLANs to the next hop in the network, the firewall. You may also need to place a static route on the firewall that directs returning traffic back to the network. [IMAGE]    Thanks for keeping us updated. The config is coming together nicely.
Hi, We have a stacked 6248 (two switches). I am trying to get to grips with the best way to set up VLANs. The switch has been basically in operation for quite a while but it's features were never used. All ports are in VLAN 1 (Default). I would like to create VLANs for different departments and have them route  between each other and also provide DHCP address to clients in those VLANs. So, as you can see, there are actually several questions to answer. * What is the best way to configure the Managment VLAN? * What is the best way to configure multiple VLANs that can route between each other on different subnets? * How can I migrate all connected clients from the Default VLAN (1) There are a few more things of which I'm uncertain, but maybe if I start with the above those questions will be addressed in any case. Thanks for reading and I look forward to your ideas and responses. Kind Regards, Tom
