the set up is this way



3750(1st) ----------------!-------------------- ! ! ! ! 3750(2nd) 3750(2nd) ! ! 2960 2960 ! ! 2960 2960 AREA 1 (10 KM apart) AREA 2

Thank u in advance


Greetings

The 2960 is a layer 2 switch so the only IP it has is for its own management.. You want the IP on the LAYER 3 interface for the default Gatewway, which is probably ONE of the 2 x 3750's, depending on which mode (Layer 2 or Layer 3) their interfaces are working in.

Cheers.................pk.
