Are you running multiple protocols, or just one (IP)?
I've read that... when running multiple protocols
you should limit your broadcast domain to
approximatley 200 hosts. A single protocol domain
can support more... (500?).
Any thoughts?

Quoting Patrick Ramsey :
We run about 750-950 computers/printers in each of our vlans. (major
facillites) with no performance problems. I couldn't imagine only having
200 devices per vlan. That would be close to 2 subnets in each of our
closets. We run on 6509's with POS blades in a full mesh. Broadcasts
are
not that bad at each facillity. Utilization stays at less than 15% on the
LAN and no more than 30% across the WAN links.

I have to agree, I would not personally put more than around 200 devices
in
a broadcast domain and that is pushing it. If it is possible I would
break
it into two or more VLANS and route between the VLANS, this help out in
the
performance arena.

The theory behind it is this. Would you, in a preplanned network
deployment, put over 250 devices in the same Broadcast domain?

hi all,
I read somewhere that there can only be a maximum of 254 devices in a
vlan.
I'm currently redesigning a network that would have a vlan containing
about
300 devices. Is the 254 restriction a design one? Please can someone
enlighting me on this issue.
regards,
Tunde
