It really was meant to be an L3 device - You had to do BVI's to put a vlan on multiple ports. The FE ports couldn't do ACLs - You had a 'special command' to force traffic to route out of the GE port and back again to apply ACLs there. However, the 'special command' only applied to IP packets without options - if someone sent IP options, IPX, AT, NetBIOS, etc, you were shafted. I'm sure there are other reasons too. It was rubbish. -- Ian Dickinson Senior Network Development Engineer Pipex Communications [EMAIL PROTECTED] INOC-DBA: 5413*426 http://www.pipex.net This e-mail is subject to: http://www.pipex.net/disclaimer.html _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
