VLAN Trunking [7:49976]

2002-07-28 Thread John Brandis

G'day all.

Got a question regarding VLAN trunking in a switched environment. Say for
example, I have a Catalyst 5509 in my network at the core, and then I have
lower end catalyst switch's with a gigabit port on each. In this example,
lets say I have 14 VLANS to connect, however I only have 8 gigabit ports on
my Catalyst 5509. In this case, the customer NEEDS gigabit access back to
the core from the distribution layer.

My question is, would it be better to:

a). Just buy another module of 8 gigabit ports and connect every VLAN's
distribution layer back to the Catalyst gigabit ports

b).  Something else ?

Thanks for all your help and time. I appreciate it.

Well there's some information missing.  I see you only have 8 gig
ports, but where do VLANs come into play there?  We need more
information.
