It's not always necessarily a trunked interface. I've seen many implementations that used a standard Ethernet interface as the arm and just routed inbound traffic to the same interface outbound. It's horrible from a design and performance perspective, but it accomplished what was required in the environment, and they were stuck with it until a infrastructure redesign project re-addressed the problem. The terms "router-on-a-stick" and "one armed router" come from the principle that the same packet travels the same interface both inbound and outbound, so that the router basically only has one live interface (as opposed to two or more, which is what we typically implement) > > Allso called a lolly-pop router. > > Taco Hettema > CCNP/CCDP > > -----Original Message----- > From: Kanthimathi R [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: vrijdag 4 januari 2002 7:22 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Can ne1 Help me???
