Brief VLAN Question....

[penduko]

I have a 2960 switch and a router and I'm planning to create two VLANs with private IP subnets in the catalyst. I will connect this catalyst to a router with public IP addresses. My question is, how will the hosts connected in the catalyst browse the internet? a sample configuration or a brief explanation on the things I have to do will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance....

You can set up a "Router on a stick" configuration. I use these in my test labs. set e0 on the router to your public IP address and e1 with "no ip address" use sub interfaces e1/0.1 e1/0.2 etc. trunk that line to the switch, set Q tagging. Set up your vlans. then set static routes or use RIP. There is far better tutorials out there, this is just a quick note and what I would do. Hope this helps. Here are a few examples:

* The biggest problem i ran into was putting the wrong number in the encapsulation statement. Just my 2 cents.

The router itself needs a NAT config to translate addresses from the private range to the public too.
