Re: where to set the default gateway?

Donghai,

All good suggestions have already been made :) so there's not much to add
except that another way of making the hosts on both switches in different
vlans talk to each other is to create the same vlans (10 and 20) on both
switches with the respective svi's and breakup the logical ip subnet lets
say a /24 into a /25. this will allow half of the hosts in each subnet to
reside on the local switch with their own svi's to be used as the default
gateways.

Then enable routing between the 3560's and the 4506 to advertise the
respective subnets to allow for communication between the hosts on the two
3560's. With this, if one of the 3560 looses its uplink to the 4506, the
hosts that are local to it will be able to communicate to each other and not
loose reachability entirely.

regards,
