I work for a hopsital and I am semi competent around cisco equipment.
Here is my dilemma. We have about 16 switches that are located across 4
floors in 4 seperate closets. The switches on the floor are connected
to each switch within its respective closet via cross-over cables.Then
there is a switch in each closet that has a gbic module with fiber that
run back to a fiber module on a 6506 in our data center. The 6506 has
vlans 1-7 on it and are trunking isl via the fiber for each of the
closets. The 6506 is also the VTP server VTP Domain brooks. Vlan 2 goes
out to our radiology dept. Vlan3 is our wireless network. Vlan4 is our
Fiber connection to our ISP. VLAN 5 is to our Cisco Pix 515. Vlan 6 is
our Pix inside. Vlan 1,2,3,6 connect from the 6506 to a Cisco 3640
router and are plugged into ethernet ports where they are then routed.
VLAN 7 is a new VLAN that I am trying to create for the following
reason.

The hospital wants practicing doctors that are not residents in the
hospital to have access to webmail so they can access their outside
email, such as yahoo and hotmail. I do not want any outside email on
the network for obvious reasons. I have been tasked by my Director to
create a seperate VLAN that the doctors can access outside email on
without being able to connect to the rest of our network. I am the new
Network Admin who did not design this network and have only been here
for about 1.5 months.I have made VLAN 7 on the 6506 and i have checked
the switches in the closets to make sure it has propigated to the
switches. I have assigned switchport access vlan 7 on port fa0/13 on a
cisco 3524 that is in one of the closets on the floor(my end host
connects to that port). I do not have any more free ethernet ports on
the 3640 to plug into from the 6506 to route the traffic to pix and out
to the internet. the reason the traffic is routed I believe is because
the person who built this network laid out the network as follows. Pix
inside is 128.6.0.254/16, Pix DMX 192.168.0.1/24, 3640 ethernet
0/0(Vlan1)128.1.0.101, e0/1(vlan2)128.2.0.1, e1/0(vlan3)128.3.0.1,
e1/1(vlan6)128.6.0.1. The question is how do I get 3 desktop machines
all on seperate floors of the hospital all internet access via VLAN 7
without being able to access any of the other vlans and all of them on
a subnet that is not part of the rest of my network.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You could use policy-based routing (PBR) to route all traffic from VLAN
7 to you Internet interface.

See PBR examples on cisco CCO site.

If it is not clear then send me private email at mhrabi@rogers.com
