you really should start reading a bit more about what you're doing. A VLAN is a broadcast domain, so computers on separate VLANs are unable to communicate without the intervention of a routing device. Any device that supports Layer 3 routing, such as a router or a multilayer switch, can be used to perform the necessary routing functionality. Regardless of the device used, the process of forwarding network traffic from one VLAN to another VLAN using routing is known as inter-VLAN routing.
I will show you an example:
This called a Router-on-a-Stick, if you ping from PC1 to PC2 it goes through the router. You need to configure the VLANs on the subinterfaces on the router.
This is my subinterface configuration on the router.
With the router-on-a-stick option, appropriate IP addressing and VLAN information must be configured on each logical subinterface and a trunk encapsulation must be configured to match that of the trunking interface of the switch.
