Question about my intended setup and Vlan routing

[JonD]

I need to create two VLANs on this switch and route between the client network and the VLANs. The default VLAN is what the servers will be on for client access. 

The VLAN's are for a SAN disk array.

Ports 1 through 24 will be 10.10.40.0  

This is the client / server subnet and connects to other switches on the same subnet and gateway of 10.10.40.1

VLAN 10  10.10.10.0   This is SAN-1  

VLAN 20  10.10.20.0   This is SAN-2

I need to be sure I can have connectivity between my workstation on 10.10.40.0 subnet and VLAN 10, 20.

VLAN 10, 20 need to be able to send email alerts out through the 10.10.40.0 subnet.

To summarize, the servers and SAN's are connected to this single switch and it is uplinked to the workstation switches and firewall. I need to segregate the SAN's from the rest of the network chatter yet still be able to manage them from my workstation.

Thanks!

Hi JonD,

What will you be using for the Layer3 routing between VLAN 10/20 & the client/server VLAN? Are you thinking of using the switch? or do you have a router connected to your network which will be used? the setup will be dictated by this.

If you are looking at using the switch as the router (if it has that functionality) then the setup is reasonably simple.

1. Setup the VLANs.

2. Add the required ports to the VLANs.

3. Set a gateway IP for each of the two VLANs (10 & 20) on the switch you will be using for routing.

4. enable ip routing on the switch.

5. Set a default route on the switch with the gateway of the router you will use for off-subnet traffic.

6. Add routes on your client/server subnet default gateway pointing to the switches IP address as the gateway IP for 10.10.10.0 and 10.10.20.0

That should be it.
