How to connect 3548 switches [7:1889]
I need to connect two 3548XL switches that are on separate floors. The distance is around 100 feet between the switches. Can I connect these two switches using either a 1000BaseSX module or the 1000BaseT module (not sure if the distance is too far for this one)? If I am able to connect the switches using the 1000BaseSX module, I am limited to 100MB or will I get 1GB connectivity?

CiscoWorks 2000 vs. CiscoWorks for Windows
We have a Frame Relay network that connects 8 remote locations. Our locations have a combo of 3548 and 2924 Cisco switches. There are only two IT guys in one location and we want to be able to monitor each location using a protocol analyzer. Does either CiscoWorks 2000 or CiscoWorks for Windows allow this capability? Or do I have to go with a solution from EtherPeek or NAI's Sniffer products? We are interested in seeing traffic, utilization, problems (errors, collisions, etc) on all of our LANs from one central location.

Trunk question between 2620 and 3548XL
I have a 3548XL switch and a 2620 router with the IOS Plus loaded. The IP address of the 2620 is 10.10.1.1 and the IP address of the 3548 is 10.10.1.2 (VLAN1) I have created two VLANs on the 3548XL, VLAN10 (10.10.10.1) and VLAN20 (10.10.20.1). Port 48 on the 3548 connects to the 2620's FE port. On the 2620 I have created the following sub interfaces: To Trunk VLAN1: int f0/0.1 encap isl 1 ip add 10.10.1.2 255.255.255.0 To Trunk VLAN10 int f0/0.10 encap isl 10 ip add 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0 To Trunk VLAN20 int f0/0.20 encap isl 20 ip add 10.10.20.1 255.255.255.0 On the 3548 on int f0/48 I enter the following to start trunking: switchport mode trunk switchport trunk encap isl As soon as I do this I can no longer ping the router from the switch and vice-versa. When I set port 48 on the 3548 back to access mode I can ping again. I think I am confused about the IP addresses to set. For example the router's IP is 10.10.1.1 and the switch IP (VLAN1) is 10.10.1.2. When I create the subinterface for VLAN1 on the router what IP address should I assign to the subinterface (as well as for sub interfaces f0/0.10 and f0/0.20)?

Switch preference (network topology) question
By next year our office will have over 50 people. This does not include people who will be in our building and working for other companies. That number will be around 15 and it will grow. Basically, our building hosts our company and various other companies and I am part of a two-man IT staff that runs everything for all companies. Currently, we are using three 3548 XL switches and a 2620 for interVLAN routing. In this scenario, would it be feasible (and cost-effective) for me to roll out a 5000 (or a 5505) with a GBIC module and an RSM to take the load off the 2620 (which also does routing for our Frame Relay network)?

VLAN default gateway question
I have a question concerning the default gateway for PCs when connecting to a 3548XL switch that has VLANs. I have a 3548XL switch that has 3 VLANs (VLAN1 is for the 10.10.1.x subnet, VLAN2 is for the 10.10.2.x, and VLAN3 is for subnet 10.10.3.x) configured. The 3640 router has an address of 10.10.1.1 and sub interfaces for 2.x and 3.x. For PCs on the subnets 2.x and 3.x what should their default gateway be, 10.10.1.1 or 10.10.3.1?

Subinterface question
Our internal network has 10 subnets that can be utilitized (10.10.1.x - 10.10.10.x). The router IP address is 10.10.1.1. When I create a subinterface for 10.10.2.1 what is the metric for the 10.10.2.x subnet to get to the 10.10.1.x subnet? Being that it is the same router will it be 1 or does each subinterface increment the metric by 1 thereby making the metric 2 for each subinterface?

How do I assign an IP address to a switch cluster?
I want to cluster three 3548XL switches together using GBICs. I set up the first switch to be the command switch using 192.168.1.1 as the IP address. When setting up the other two switches do I assign them IP addresses (ex: 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3) as well or not? Looking at the documentation it says to just plug the switches in and then join the cluster but when you plug the switches in they walk you through the config prompts to set up the switch. Should I skip these prompts that set the switch up originally?

Trunk question
I have a question concerning trunk ports. I am about to install two 2924M XL switches with the GBIC modules (both slots are filled).

Video conferencing over IP question
We are building a Frame Relay network from scratch. We have 2 main offices and around 8 remote offices. For equipment the four main offices will have 3640s and the 4 remote offices will have 2620s. Two of the main offices will 100 + users while the other two will have 25 + users. The remaining remote offices will have 5-10 users. We currently run 3 ISDN lines into each office for video conferencing and the phone bills are quite expensive. We are looking into running video conferencing over the Frame network and my question concerns what switch I should install in the offices. Right now I am looking at the 3548 XL at two of the main offices with 2924 XL switches for the rest of the offices. If video conferencing over IP becomes a reality in 6 months I was thinking about adding a 5000 series switch at the main site to have a core/distribution layer with the 3548 XLs serving as the access layer. I am concerned about the 2924 XLs in the four remote offices. Should I look into the 3524 XL series for the remote offices to be able to handle the video conferencing traffic?

VOIP and QOS questions
We currently have 4 offices, 2 in the Pittsburgh area and 2 in California (one is Saratoga and one being built in San Fran). The plan is to connect each one through a dedicated T1 line for redundancy and VOIP and video conferencing purposes. I was planning on installing 3548 XL switches in all of the offices (the San Fran office and one of the Pittsburgh offices will have close to 100 people while the other two offices will have around 30 people). The corporate offices will use the other two offices for Internet access. The questions I have are as follows: * What type of router should be placed in the offices? I was thinking 1720 for the small corporate offices and the 3640 for the two larger offices as I believe this will provide us with the performance we need for VOIP and video conferencing over IP * Are the 3548 XL switches good enough?

Cisco PIX - any good?
I was wondering if I could get some feedback on the Cisco PIX firewall box? I just come into a situation in which we will all of the sudden have multiple offices throughout the US. A majority of these offices will have 10 users or less because they will be executives. Our office is currently using the Watchguard Firebox II as our firewall/VPN solution. The problem is that Watchguard does not offer any solutions for smaller offices. We will probably install a frame relay network between offices for security and performance reasons (too many problems with DSL and cable modems for the time being). We have a Cisco 1720 router and in all probability we will install Cisco routers for the other offices. With that in mind, would adding the PIX firewall combined with the VPN capability of the Cisco routers possibly be the solution?
