[c-nsp] Low end cisco switch that supports dot1q tunneling and design question

[Matt Stone]

Depends on what you mean by "low end." You could try looking at the 2960's.

Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "can the tunnel terminate" but if both switches in the same vlan connect using an access port, sure. No Dot1Q (Or ISL) trunk will form. This could also be solved with VTP Pruning. VTP Pruning prevents unneeded traffic from traviling through the trunks that don't need it, but still lets you form trunks on your links to the distruibution layer. (Would help you standardize and save configuration headache in the future if you need another VLAN down stream)

Hi there,

 

Can anyone provide recommendations for a low end cisco switch that provides
dot1q tunneling features?  Also, can the tunnel terminate on multiple
switches if they are all configured with the same access vlan tag?

 

 

Thanks,

Jeff.
