My dead horse, so I must beat it!

Ok this is what I need to figure out;

1. Cisco 4507r multiplayer switch
2. 4 vlans
3. The 4507 is connected via fiber to a cisco 3550
4. I have 3 different networks that connect through
the 3550
a. 10.16.0.0 255.255.0.0 (default gateway 10.16.50.1)
b. 10.2.0.0 255.255.0.0 (default gateway 10.2.50.2)
c. 10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0 (default gateway 10.1.50.1)
5. I set up the vlans to match the above networks.
ie. vlan1 = ip address 10.16.50.1
6. I have setup IP routing using Rip and added network 10.0.0.0 (which is all it will allow me to do)
7. If I have assigned vlan3 (10.1.0.0) to the port that connect the 4507 and the 3550.
8. If I have a pc that’s ip is 10.1.X.X connected to a port on the 3550, I can see the rest of the network like I should.
9. My problem is that I will also have PCs that are on different networks connected to ports on this same 3550. When I change the IP to 10.16.X.X , I can no longer see the network…..and I understand why this happens.
10. Is there a way around this?
11. Do I need to configure the 3550 in some manner?

If I remember correctly, you should be able to use RIPv2. I believe that version does classless routing.

yep, RIP does not include in its updates classful routing information, that is all it will do is,

10.0.0.0
20.0.0.0
30.0.0.0 etc.

try using RIP2 or IGRP.

On the 4507 I'd use EIGRP.
