You say 10mb ports, i.e. plural. If the router has two ports, use them both, one for one VLAN and one for the other. It's as simple as that. I have this same problem in my home lab due to ancient equipment. I simply put e0 on the router in subnet 172.16.10.0 and e1 on the router in subnet 172.16.50.0. I connect one of my switches to the router using two ports on the switch, one going to e0 and one going to e1 on the router. These don't even have to be trunk ports, just any old ports. On the switch I have some devices in VLAN 1 (172.16.10.0) and some in VLAN 2 (172.16.50.0). The devices use the appropriate router address for their default gateway. I have the swtich connected to another switch in a redundant fashion to get some practice with trunking, etc., but the router just acts like an ordinary router from the pre-VLAN days when life was simple. ;-) ________________________ Priscilla Oppenheimer http://www.priscilla.com > > please advise. > > thank you > > -DJ > > > > > --------------------------------- > Get a bigger mailbox -- choose a size that fits your needs. > > http://uk.docs.yahoo.com/mail_storage.html > > Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=49590&t=49533 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
