If I place a /30 (or /31) on every interface I'll end up with 50 SVI (48 customers + 2 uplincs) on the router correct? Will that force the router to go into software forwarding mode or are the 3750s free of that limitation. I know the 3550 has issues with too many SVIs Any other alternatives to a 48 port GigE router? I'm looking at the WS-C4948 as well but the budget is only so big. -Matt _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
