How prevalent is ISL in the "real world"? [7:33758]
Is ISL still widely used? Are there still many shops out there using it? (I assume Cisco only outfits) It seems that Cisco has all but dropped support for it in favor of dot1q.

Re: How prevalent is ISL in the "real world"? [7:33758]
There are lots of ISL trunks still working, if it ain't broke... But yes the direction is dot1q and I have been suggesting customers consider dot1q on new installs. The original argument, dot1q does not support per VLAN spanning, is no longer valid. Dave Sean Knox wrote: > > Is ISL still widely used? Are there still many shops out there using it?

What are the current advantages for running ISL over 802.1q? I would expect its proprietary nature to be enough to warrant choosing against it.

RE: How prevalent is ISL in the "real world"? [7:33758]
We have an older Cat5k sitting in our Quality Assurance lab, and I was considering performing some tests for work with ISL... in this case, the supervisor engine is too old to run dot1q. I was just curious on how many companies still use ISL, be it exclusively or with dot1q. - Sean -Original Message- From: Peter van Oene [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 2:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: How prevalent is ISL in the "real world"?

Re: How prevalent is ISL in the "real world"? [7:33758]
It might be an issue of installed base, or lack thereof. I believe recent CatOS releases have corrected this, but for a long while, the Cat 400x series did ISL on trunks, while doing 802.1q on ports. Older boxes, of course, may only do ISL. In these days of tight budgets it can be difficult to convince customers to upgrade absolutely, everyone should upgrade to the open standard. absolutely, everyone should migrate from token ring to ethernet. absolutely, everyone should eliminate native IPX, NetBEUI, and AppleTalk from their networks. ;-> Chuck ""Peter van Oene"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > What are the current advantages for running ISL over 802.1q?

RE: How prevalent is ISL in the "real world"? [7:33758]
Cisco is moving towards 802.1q as: 1) Standard 2) Native VLAN allows non-trunking aware devices to participate 3) Lower overhead 802.1q is slightly less secure as there is a native VLAN. This could be a concern as packets injected into the trunk will be allowed and could be used for an attack vector. Of course, both ISL and .q have had security breaches. --- James Wilson wrote: > On this same subject, how secure or how vulnerable > is ISL or dot1q trunking? > Is it vulnerable to arp attacks? > > -- > James D.
