This is how I used to setup 3com 3500's. They could not do wire speed ip/ipx if they were on the same interface. so for every layer 3 network, you would actualy have two interfaces. Both of which would go back to the same vlan on the core switch. of course, at layer two, all the frames are still traversing the same equipment, so unless you are using older gear (such as the 3500) it's kinda silly to set things up that way.
Unless you just want to compare port utilization for ip/ipx...? And sniffer pro does that quite nicely... :) my $.02 -Patrick >>> Chuck 04/29/02 09:06PM >>> in the old days of vlan switching, there was serious discussion of using vlans to separate traffic by protocol. set up ports 1,3 and 5 as IP and ports 2,4, and 6 as IPX. More importantly, put all those renegade AppleTalk users on their own VLAN so their traffic doesn't bother people with real work to do ( ;-> ) I don't know if there is serious talk of this any more. Is this kinda what you had in mind? Chuck ""Steven A.
