Damn and Awesome ;-)
Now I know what the concept is called. but needing a router sucks. .Skeeve From: Joe Freeman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 26 June 2007 2:53 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Cisco-nsp Subject: Re: [c-nsp] Possible Stupid Questions Alert - Combining VLAN's You're looking for 802.1q tag rewrite. That said, it appears Cisco only does it in routers or on EoMPLS. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1829/products_feature_guid e09186a008016102a.html#wp1279134 I checked the feature navigator as well, and as a feature, it's only in a couple of variants of 12.4 , and then only on a few platforms (3845, 7200).

I want to literally be able to change a VLAN's number in a path of switches. For example: in a peering point we have half a dozen ISP's sharing a central switch for some private peering. All connections are Trunks so the different ISP's can patch dot1q VLAN's to each other in whatever way they like. The issue is with conflicting VLAN numbers in the switch chain (involving 3750G, 3550, 3560G, 3524XL) and the trunks to the ISP's themselves. So, when there is a conflict, I'd essentially like to 'renumber' the VLAN and then pass it off up the chain so their isn't a conflict in the path. Ideally. ISP - uses 100 Sends up trunk into shared switch Switch turns vlan 100 into vlan 650 and then sends out link to upstream switch and it is forever 650. Or something like that. I realise I could just burn 2 ports and put a x-over cable between them, but it seems such a waste. It would also be done on a router, but we don't have that kit available. I'm ready for useful comments and a share of ridicule. For those with a massive amount of money who can buy anything their like and may respond 'just by a 6509', please remember that not all of us have massive amounts of unlimited funding to $100k on a 10G interface for a GSR when 100k might be out yearly budget! ;-) .Skeeve -- Skeeve Stevens, RHCE [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> / www.skeeve.org Cell +61 (0)414 753 383 / skype://skeeve eintellego - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - www.eintellego.net -- I'm a groove licked love child king of the verse Si vis pacem, para bellum _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
