[c-nsp] Basic Query......Switches !!!

[Erdem Sener]

Hi,

 Depending on the traffic load and the configuration, a l3 should have
no problems serving as vtp server/ip terminator to 14 l2 switches.

 Cat 4006 can also perform L3 tasks with a layer3 module, you might
want to give it a shot as well. I would suggest SUP-IV, though.

 Cheers,
 Erdem
