James,

I would doubt that the telesyn switches support 802.1q or even VLANs? If =
your two Cisco switches are close together you could use a crossed UTP =
cable and trunk between them. Otherwise you will need another =
copper/fibre access link connecting the two halves of the second VLAN. =
You would still run the 802.1q trunk between the router and one of the =
switches. Hope this helps.
Marcus.

Thanks Arie,

      The switch that we bought does not have a fiber uplink so we =
bought=20
Allied telesyn switches (2-port swtich.. one port is RJ-45 and the other =
is=20
fiber) to connect the switches. Should this affect the VTP port in =
between=20
the Cisco switches?

      Should there be any problem with VLAN if another switch technology =

goes in between the VLAN trunking of Cisco?

Hi James


a) You could trunk one port of the switch to your router and handle on =
your router
        all necessary inter-vlan traffic (often done)


        search on CCO for inter-vlan to find some sample configs for =
your=20
job. You
might
        only face a problem with this approach due to the limited =
bandwith=20
on the
trunked
        port, if you have mainly inter-vlan traffic. maybe monitoring=20
bandwith with
mrtg
        (via snmp) on that port would be a good idea.


b) you can buy a l3 switch with is able to route inter-vlan traffic =
internally


regards
arie

Betreff: [nsp] Help with VLAN



Hello,


      We are going to implement VLAN mainly to separate the broadcast =
traffic from one segment to another.


      We have existing Cisco 2620 (one FastE port) and Cisco layer 2 =
switches. We have office users on one segment and some production =
machines on another.


      Should I need a layer 3 switch for this connected after the =
router? Or I only need the router to separate the two segments (using =
VLAN
configuration) on the layer 2 Cisco switches?


TIA,
James
