If you require a common VLAN across multiple access layer switches, l3 to access can present problems. I ran into this with a wireless AP deployment that was still using autonomous APs. We solved the issue by using a L2/L3 trunk. We trunked the wireless vlans and terminated the closet wired vlans on the closet switch. This gave us a smooth migration to LWAPP when the time came. Then we removed the L2 trunk entirely and went L3 only. You also end up creating a lot more subnets as well if you have low density fixed configuration switches in the closet and don't stack them.

Problems? Cost? I know it would be cheaper to go layer 2 to the access but I am looking for problems/issues tchnically that make it less attractive? thanx in advance, harbor235 _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ Note: This message and any attachments is intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is non-public, proprietary, legally privileged, confidential, and/or exempt from disclosure.
