hi all, right, bit of an odd one maybe... i am in a situation whereby i have a a datacentre architecture with mixed-vendor (cisco/foundry) kit. i have multiple cisco 6509s as distribution-layer, and a pair of foundry BigIrons as core (dual trunk uplinks, etc.). can i run pVLANs on the dist-layer ciscos and have them talk to one-another via the foundrys? i am thinking that this *should* work.... foundry seem to support the extended vlan #s - up to 4k and a bit (forget the exact #) - is there a reason why end-hosts connecting to the ciscos *only* - not the bigirons - might not work with pVLANs? dot1q tagging/trunking on the uplink trunks of course - much as I love ISL ... ;-) no vtp - ie transparent mode, local vlan databases on all switches. i'm hoping this should make everything transparent to the foundrys (foundries?), right?? as always, many thanks in advance -andy Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=14992&t=14992 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
