Question : How to configure VLAN Routing?

HI Everyone,
I am planning the configuration of a new network using 4 new switches and using a layer 3 Dell powerconnect 6224 to route between the different VLANs and the external network but I am not entirely sure about how to set up the intra vlan routing etc and was hoping that someone could give me  a few pointers.?

Basically I am ok at to create the VLANs etc on the switches and from what I have read that I need to enable IP routing on the layer 3 switch using the "enable ip routing" command but I am unsure about setting the default gateways etc.


I am planning on using a gateway appliance and want all outbound traffic to go through this device. Do I set the IP address of the gateway appliance as the default gateway for all of the VLANs etc or do I create a default route on the layer 3 switch?

I was under the impression that I cannot configure a default gateway that is on another subnet  so I am wondering what the best approach is in this situation.

Any assistance in helping me clarify this process would be most appreciated.

Let me know if I have your configuration wrong in the graphic.  
If it is correct, then the summary would be:

vlan1 Workstation gateway = 192.168.1.1
vlan2 workstation gateway = 192.168.2.1

Layer3 switch default route = ip 0.0.0.0  mask 0.0.0.0 points to 192.168.254.1
