RE: Large number of VLANS [7:65815]
Have you tried BBSM, it much easier than that to use and it's compatible with all popular billing systems.

RE: Large number of VLANS [7:65815]
You should use the port protected feature on the switches instead of separate vlans. This let's you use a single vlan or whatever needed, but does not allow a port within a vlan to talk to another port in the vlan. You can also implement this for meeting rooms on the cisco wireless products but it is not in the menu system, if you are doing this I can send you the top secret commands. With this enabled wireless clients cannot see or share files with other wireless clients, works well for public wireless areas.

RE: Large number of VLANS [7:65815]
Uau, good question. I can´t reproduce that in a lab. What will happen when the 3550 advertises 251 Vlans. Maybe the 2950 will implement just the first 250 Vlans. Hope somebody helps.

RE: Large number of VLANS [7:65815]
I was testing this in my lab, and could not get VTP to work with this setup, as soon as I went over 254 vlans the Cat2950 gave me this message 00:17:11: %SW_VLAN-6-VTP_MODE_CHANGE: VLAN manager changing device mode from CLIENT to TRANSPARENT. 00:17:11: VTP LOG RUNTIME: VTP mode changed to Transparent so it looks like I cant use VTP with this one, but I gues it will work if I dont use VTP and just configure the vlans myself on the switches.

With careful planning, why not? OTOH, with such a large number of vlans required, can you justify at least 3550's everywhere? Good, cheap, fast - you can only have 2.

You could if you planned it well. Just limit which VLANs are allowed over your trunks. May I ask? Why do you need so many VLANs?
