Stacking and L3 switching

[Shelster]

Very quick sanity check here...

Am creating a network that will utilise 6 x switches and they are going to be stacked. Running over it there will be 2 x VLAN (data and management) and am going to enable ip routing so that I can utilise a server to access the management side of things.

Question is do I need to enable ip routing on all switches? As they are stacked they should appear as 1 switch, but if not enabled then would this stop inter VLAN traffic?

Cheers Chris, that was what I had thought would happen. Plan is create the stack and then enable the switching plus do other config work

Using Dell N4032F switches. OS looks very similar to CISCO stuff.

Chris...will do. The switches will be new out of box, so hopefully should have latest firmware on them, but will have a copy to hand just in case
