Router on a stick Cisco router and a 3COM switch

Using a Cisco router to do the routing and a 3COM 4500 Superstack III switch for the VLANs, 802.1Q trunk setup. I’m not going to use port 1 on the switch, as this belongs to the native VLAN1. Also remember that all the other ports on the switch, not assigned to their own VLANs, will also by default belong to VLAN1. In other words, all devices plugged into any of the VLAN1 ports, will be able to see each other by default!
