c3560 Routing with Advanced IP Services

Problem: You got serval networks, you got an c3560 but no Router.
Solution: Get an c65e VSS
Following Problem: Insufficient Money, Power, Space,....
Solution: Get your c3560 to route these Networks with an Advanced IP Services Firmware
YOU DO NEED AN "advipservices" FIRMWARE ON YOUR c3560!

Assumption:
On f0/1 PC with 134.96.10.2 -> We want the Gateway to be 134.96.10.1
On f0/8 PC with 192.168.2.2 -> We want the Gateway to be 192.168.2.1

How to:
Easy Idea - for an normal routing process you need an Interface in the "to be routed" net.
And there for the Solution lies in the usage of vlans.
Every port that uses one net is bound to the vlan of that net.
Every net get its own vlan.
Every vlan gets an ip (the gateway ip thats entered into the pcs of this net).
Activate routing.
Done.

Configuration:

interface FastEthernet0/1
switchport access vlan 2
switchport mode access

interface FastEthernet0/8
switchport access vlan 3
switchport mode access

interface Vlan2
ip address 134.96.10.1 255.255.255.0

interface Vlan3
ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0
