Hi Micheal,
 
Yes.. I have tested.. the child switch can ping the VLAN's configured on the core switch without IP routing enabled..
 
The child switch need not be layer 3 enabled. It knows the VLAN IP from the core switch through the trunks configured.

DC_3550#ping
Protocol [ip]:
Target IP address: 172.16.20.4 (VLAN 200 on the core switch which is routing enabled)
Repeat count [5]:
Datagram size [100]:
Timeout in seconds [2]:
Extended commands [n]: y
Source address or interface: 5.5.5.5 (VLAN 800 on this child switch)
Type of service [0]:
Set DF bit in IP header? [no]:
Validate reply data? [no]:
Data pattern [0xABCD]:
Loose, Strict, Record, Timestamp, Verbose[none]:
Sweep range of sizes [n]:
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 172.16.20.4, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/4 ms
 
IP routing table:
 
DC_3550#sh ip route
Default gateway is not set
Host Gateway Last Use Total Uses Interface
ICMP redirect cache is empty
 
Ip routing has been disabled on this switch and no layer 3 information available.
 
Cheers
Raj

Have you tested this??

In my experience Brian is right. Without ip routing enabled there is no
connected routes showing in the switch so it is just plainly a L2
switch. In which case you will NOT get packets to cross vlan boundaries.

HI all,

The basic IP addresses for all vlan's should be configured on th VTP
server and the L2 fiber/copper links should be trunked between these
switches.

In this case, IP routing need not be enabled on the child switches, as
it carries only L2 information to the VTP server. The VTP server will
know to put the traffic on L3 to the child switches.

In this case, we need not enable "ip routing" on the vtp client switch
and routing will happen with the directly connected routes on both the
switches.

Hope this clarifies !!

Solution: enable "ip routing".

When you enable "ip routing" on the switches they will have connected
routes in their routing table for the subnets configured on the VLAN
interfaces. Without "ip routing" the switches will not forward (aka
route) packets between VLAN interface.

I don't see any where in that email about connected routes or a
connection to a router..
One can assume that a router connection is there..if it is not then
routing will need to
Be enabled on the 3550's....

Since both switches will have connected routes to the 3 VLANs, what will
a routing protocol advertise that the switches don't already know about?

Just enable "ip routing" on the switches for the third task to allow the
switches to forward packets between the VLAN interfaces. Also make sure
that the VLANs are trunked. Technically you could have three interfaces
between the switches each in one of the VLANs as opposed to trunking the
VLANs ;-)

1. Config cat1 vlan 19 with IP 10.10.19.8/24, Vlan 20
with IP 10.10.20.8/24 and Vlan 21 with IP
10.10.21.8/24.

2. Config cat2 vlan 19 with IP 10.10.19.9/24, Vlan 20
with IP 10.10.20.9/24 and Vlan 21 with IP
10.10.21.9/24.

3. Configure cat1 and cat2 such that hosts on vlan 19,
20, 21 can communicate to each other.

It's easy for the first two. For the third one, I
think I must configure routing protocol on these
Vlans.

But I can not find related configs in the solution.
Below are configs related to routing and these Vlans:

I don't know how these vlans communicate to each
other.
