Hi All, I wonder if CAT 4006 switch support MLS? It doesn't seem to have a layer 3 card. I wonder if I can enable MLS using an external router, or pointing it to the MSFCs of a CAT 6500 that have MLS enabled? Thanks! Thomas N. Message Posted at:

You can do it with an external router if you have an 10/100 blade that supports isl or dot1q trunking. or you gan get an rsm I believe or an nffc. G30RG3 Thomas wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Hi All, I wonder if CAT 4006 switch support MLS? It doesn't seem

Sure if you use an external MLS-RP, 75xx, 72xx, 4500, 4700. I'm reasonably sure it's a hardware issue with the WS-X4232-L3. Dave Thomas wrote: Hi All, I wonder if CAT 4006 switch support MLS? It doesn't seem to have a layer 3 card. I wonder if I can enable MLS using an external

Okie, Here is my CAT 4006 specs and topology. My 4006 has a Supervisor Engine II (WS-X4013). It has an uplink TRUNK to a CAT 6509 that has MSFC doing routing between VLANS and has MLS enabled. My question is if I have MLS configured on MSFC of the 6509, the enabling of MLS on CATOS of 4006

Can't say I've tried that. First question, why is MLS sooo important that you feel you must do this?? There are legitimate reasons for MLS but I see to many people turn knob only because they are there:( That aside I don't think you can. On the external devices on which you can do this your

Well, please correct me if I am wrong. As my understanding, MLS is the main feature of Layer 3 switch (5000, 6000, 6500... not sure 4000 products). MLS allows hosts on different subnets talking at the wire speed after initially routed by the route processor. After that, MAC of these hosts and

Your correct, in fact MLS is enabled by default on the 6500. Main feature of a 5000, I don't think. I have seen people enable MLS on networks that were not even breaking a sweat, why? because they could and I'm simply saying that is not a good reason as I have fought to many MLS bugs to simply
