Cisco WAN :: How To Put Ip Address On 3560 Port That Is In Layer 2

I have the following scenario. Connected to a Cisco 3560 switch (fa0/9) is another Cisco switch (that is operating at layer 2). On the other side of that second switch is a firewall. I want to send traffic from my Cisco 3560 switch to a network behind the firewall. [code] However, when I try to add the ip address to int fa0/9, I get an error. Right now, the 3560 is operating at layer 2. I think that I need to issue the command: "ip routing" to put it in layer 3, then put the ip address on port fa0/9. However, I am concerned that I will mess up my production environment. Is there any other way of doing this? The "ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0" statement sends traffic out the gateway to the Internet. I just want to send packets to 209.52.62.16/28 out int fa0/9.
