There is VLAN rewrite, always (except some really old linecards), so you do not need to have the same VLAN-id on both ends. You do want to normalise your network to 0 or 1 SVLAN, so that A end provisioning is independent of B end provisioning, greatly reducing complexity and configuration permutations. I personally like 1 SVLAN normalisation, so that we can carry 802.1p. This also means, even in port mode, I'll impose additional SVLAN on the port-mode end, and force the type to VLAN, so that far-side VLAN mode is unaware that it is interoperating with port mode. -- ++ytti _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
