John, where in Sydney are you? If you plug a switch or hub directly of a Distribution switch, there needs to be no configured VLAN information (such as VTP) configured on the end switch, provided you plug your switch/hub into a VLAN defined port on the distry switch, that will work fine, however you will not be segregating the bottom parts of your network.
For instance: We have 2 x 6509's at our Core as VTP Servers, we have fibre dropped to around 10 3548s which run VTP and have full VTP/VLAN information, from there we directly connect access layer switches without VTP info into the distry switch and set the port on the disty switch to be a member of the VLAN we wish.. then its all fine.. Directly connected, you can however have your access layer switchs be VLAN aware, but I find its not really needed.. we split our floors in half, VLAN 200 and 202, we have 4 ports on the Disty switch 2 for VLAN 200 and 2 for VLAN 202, then its all go from there :) If you want some more examples, email me, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=48636&t=48632 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
