1. What does the process Layer 3 switching refer to? "switching" has become a convuluted term. "switching", in marketing-speak, means "fast" for all intents and purposes. Thus, "L3 switching" is "fast routing". Have fun. **NOTE: New CCNA/

I just set this up on a 6506 with two MSFCs running HSRP. MLS is on by default at the switch layer but you still need to define it for each router interface. See the Cisco documentation for this at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat6000/sw_5_4/msfc/mls.

You shouldn't have to do anything else to route between just those two VLANs. Also just a side note. The mls rp ip command is not necessary since you are using the MSFC. ""Josh Youngman"" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message 002801bfcf35$c2e0$[EMAIL
