I need to have routing set up between VLANS, so from what I understand if I have VLAN 10 set up as 10.10.0.2, I need to have the clients in that VLAN set up to have 10.10.0.2 as their default gateways? Correct?
My question then is there a way to set up a deafult gateway for the VLAN. How do I point the clients out to the Internet? If I set 10.10.0.2 as the default gateways then the clients can't get out to the Internet but can communicate with other VLANS, if I set the gateway to 10.10.0.1 (Internet Gateway) then the machines can get out to the internet but can't communicate with other VLANS.
How do I get around this? Let me know if you need any further information to help me with this...

This is correct if you are using a layer 3 switch for IntraVLAN routing and IP routing is enabled on the switch.

If you run the command "show ip route" you can inspect your routing table, it sound like you need to have a default route from this layer 3 switch to your Internet Router/Firewall or the next hop router. you can add this with a static route command like this "ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.x" where x.x.x.x is the IP of your next hop router or Internet Firewall (your 10.10.0.1).

The command examples I gave are from a PowerConnect 6224, but I think should be similar on other PowerConnects
Okay, thanks for the answer on that one, do you know what it might take to accomplish using multiple gateways? Would we need to add another 6224 or would that even work?
