I'm looking to do some testing of 802.1q tunnels, and I find my humble lab
is unable to meet the requirements.
I believe I can accomplish what I want with 4x26xx or better routers
(capable of 802.1q trunking on their Ethernet ports) and two Cat 3550
switches in a topology like this:
router----802.1 trunk, vlans a,b,c
router-----802.1 trunk, vlans a,b,c
( customer X ) \ ( single link ) /
(customer X )
switch_1----switch_2
/
\
router---802.1 trunk, vlans a,b,c
router-----802.1 trunk, vlans a,b,c
( customer Y )
( customer Y )
the idea is to demonstrate that 802.1q tunneling keeps customer X and
customer Y traffic separate, even though they are sharing a single vlan on
the 3550 backbone.
If you live in the San Francisco or north area ( anything south of SF /
Oakland / Walnut Creek gets to be too much travel ), and have the routers, I
have the switches. I can travel to you, or you are welcome here. Maybe make
it a weekend day of shared study, if you have a scenario you want to try?
Contact me off line, please
Chuck
