Hi All!
Currently, doing a design for a client where there are 2 server subnets, and
about 4 user subnets; routing acheived with a NetBuilder (3Com).
There are also 3 IPX networks (Novell Servers) which are being used - legacy
file/print servers, all the user subnets need to be able to see the Novell
Servers.
The plan is to move over to an entirely switched LAN setup.
The existing IP subnets, I'm mapping over to there own individual VLAN's,
with a layer-3 card, in one of the Catalyst's providing routing between the
VLAN's.
My question really is, what about the IPX traffic? Does this need to be
mapped to it's own VLAN, or can it "ride" the existing IP VLAN's?
If IPX gets mapped to it's own VLAN, how do you assign a physical port to
multiple VLAN's (ie., IP and IPX), inlight of the fact that some of the end
devices have multiple protocol stacks configured?
I've not been able to find much information relating to how IPX in
particular, or for that matter any other protocol traffic (ie., AppleTalk),
traverses a switched network???
Any help and/or pointers would be most welcome :-)
Later...
Tweetie <:)
