Yes they are L3, but you need the right firmware for it. And I think I have the right one. But I cant figure out how I make inter VLAN routing.
The last switch i made it on is an cisco sge2010p. The gui on that is more simple and easy to understand. Here there is so many options.. not wasy to figure out...

I went through most of the PDF manual and couldn't find it too. Same thing with the GUI, nothing that stood out to me on VLAN routing configuration, but I did not have the routing/router firmware. I will try and flash it this weekend and see.
Is there anyway for you to share this version of the firmware with others.. I would love a copy of the routing firmware with a working web GUI.
I just got the routing firmware on it and went through it and same problem. Couldn't really figure out how to configure VLAN routing. I'm guessing it has something to do with VRRP. Maybe someone here knows how can post a quick guide.
Is there a way do download the file from the switch ? My switch came with the firmware.
Just downloaded it....
What firmware are most folks running?
I assume you will loose your custom settings during a firmware update? Please advise.
When upgrading to the routing firmware I lost everything. I even needed a Cisco serial cable to be able to telnet into it after that flashing.
I have been able to connect between vlan. But i''ve not been able to make a gw for all vlans. Is there an easy way to do this ?
I think this is the one that most ppl are running. At least from what I could gather reading this thread. Just note that when you flash it, if you aren't using CLI, all the regular ports will turn off. You will need to issue command to turn them on then write the config.
To be honest I dont know
I was trying some cisco commands.., and suddenly I could ping the other VLAN.
Here is my running config:

Trying to follow what you did there lol and I am very lacking in Cisco knowledge. Looks like you created a bunch of interfaces (virtual) and set IPs for them. Since they belong to subnets of the VLANs you created, I assume that is why inter-VLAN is working. If that is correct, then the only thing you need to do now is to tell each of the virtual interface to route to the pfsense gateway IP as the default.
I don't really understand the syntax of the interface command. Not quite sure what that 4/1, 4/2, 4/3 number is.
Are you able to ping the .1 interface IPs you created?

4/1 - 4/3 is interfaces that is created when i set ip on each vlan.
I'm able to ping bouth .1 ip's.
Now just set a static default route:
ex:
ip route default-next-hop 192.168.1.1
Test with show ip route. This gets you a route to the router. You will need to set static routes in your router to get to the vlan subnets if you do it this way. Either via individual subnet routes or via a summary route.
Or you could configure RIP or OSPF to do dynamic routing with your router. With just one router/L3 switch, it may be easier to go the static route path.
7.2.2.5 ip route default-next-hop
This command configures the default route.
Syntax
ip route default-next-hop <nexthopip> [1-255]
<nexthopip> - IP address of the next hop router.
<1-255> - Precedence value of this route.
Default Setting
None
Command Mode
Global Config

Syntax
ip route default-next-hop <nexthopip> [1-255]
<nexthopip> - IP address of the next hop router.
<1-255> - Precedence value of this route.
Default Setting
None
Command Mode
Global Config
ex:
ip route default-next-hop 192.168.1.1
where 192.168.1.1 is the ip address of your router

Where is this done? In config? or virtual interface?
I can't seem to get the command to be accepted.
Code:
(Routing) #ip route default-next-hop 10.7.10.1
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
(Routing) #config
(Routing) (Config)#ip route default-next
^
Invalid IP address. IP address should be in a.b.c.d format where range for a, b, c, and d is 1-255.
(Routing) (Config)#ip route default 10.7.10.1
The specified Static Route Next Hop Router Address can't be in the same subnet as the service/network port.

I believe the syntax is:
Example:
Code:
ip route 'dest network' and 'mask next-hop' and address 'metric'
Code:
ip route 172.16.0.0 255.255.192.0 192.168.2.231Not sure why this is wrong. VLAN 10 is 10.0.10.0/24 and pfsense is 10.7.10.1. (The switch is 10.7.10.228 currently)
Code:
(Routing) (Config)#ip route 10.0.10.0 255.255.255.0 10.7.10.1
The specified Static Route Next Hop Router Address can't be in the same subnet as the service/network port.
