VLAN 10 is the one going from the previous group.

VLAN 20 is the one going to the next group

Setup the access ports for the other routers. First set the trunk port

int fa0/1
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20
no shutdown
exit

Now set the access ports

int fa0/2
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 10
no shutdown
int fa0/3
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 20
no shutdown

Setup vlans on router. The Gigabit Ethernet 0/0/0 is the interface going to the switch for the outside. First start the interface and make sure it has no ip address

int gig 0/0/0
no shutdown
no ip address
exit

Now set the vlan subinterfaces.

int gig 0/0/0.10
encapsulation dot1q 10
ip address 10.60.2.2 255.255.255.0
exit
int gig 0/0/0.20
encapsulation dot1q 20
ip address 10.70.2.1 255.255.255.0
exit

Set the home network. This happens on the router on the interface going to the switch for home network. First set the ip address for the router.

int gig 0/0/1
ip address 10.70.1.1 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
exit

Now set the DHCP for the network

ip dhcp pool home
network 10.70.1.0 255.255.255.0
default-router 10.70.1.1
exit

To finish this set the routes for the other networks.

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 gig 0/0/0.20
