Believe me, I've confused myself. What I have is a customer that has a mixed IP/IPX network. ALL machines are dual IP/IPX, so those two protocols will be on one switchport. He is going to add some servers to the network, but dosen't want IPX on that new network at all. And he only wants selective IP machines talking to the servers.
What I think I'll do is just create 2 Vlans, 1 for the dual IP/IPX machines and 1 for the IP servers. If a dual IP/IPX machine wishes to speak to an IP server, they'll have to use IP and be routed over via a L3 device. I just want to make sure that the IPX traffic/babble dosen't "leak" onto the IP only network somehow just because they're on same switch. I think with VLANS, it will be solved, as broadcasts and other babble will never get there. But I just want to be sure. Is my solution the way to go?

Now you've compeltely lost me! do you want to tunnel ipx and route to various vlans? I mean... If you have ipx on 1 interface and ip on the other, and they are on the same vlan, then you're done. But they won't route between the two because they are two different protocols. If you want them on two separate vlans and want to route between them, then you're back to square 1 and you have to place ipx and ip on on interfaces. -Patrick >>> "Steven A.
