All, We have two 3640's and two Extreme Black Diamond 6808's (aka 6509's). The two 3640's are doing IBGP between them on each of their eth0's. I have created a vlan on the Extremes called 'unsecure'(there are only 2 ports on each Extreme in this vlan... one coming in from the 3640 and the other going into the firewall). I am getting some complaints from the 'uppers' that bringing the 3640's into the Extreme's is a security hazard.
I am sure someone is now working on a way to hack from one vlan to the next, but for now, I don't see the difference between putting a hub in there and using a couple of ports on these monster 'almost-never-go-down' switches. I just don't want another unmanaged piece of equipment in the flow. Has anyone ever heard of this being a leak. I worked in a datacenter before and this is what we did with 6509's and we didn't blink! I know these are Extreme switches... which is probably taboo in the group, but I am pretty sure this would be platform independent... right????
