I would not use the 2824 as a router for anything serious, and "bandwidth reasons" makes it sound serious. The 2800 series is intended as a layer two switch. It's an excellent layer two switch. Routing, not so much. IMO, the layer three features of that switch are mainly intended for management purposes, not for production payload traffic. > ... anyone know what to do here? Use something else as the router. HP makes layer-3-and-higher switches, but the 2800 series isn't one of them. If you want to keep your existing 2800, use an external device as a router. If you're short on ports and don't need a *ton* of bandwith but do need high packets-per-second, you could put multiple VLANs tagged on a single switch port, and then put a router-on-a-stick on that port. (Router-on-a-stick = router with only a single physical connection, using VLANs.) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
