i just read up on this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.1Q according to that you still have a physical seperation on each edge switch. ie it is not each computer that connects to the shared network and decides which vlan to be on, but a switch which knows which vlan it belongs to. so you still need two switches for two subnets. greetings, martin. -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix searching contract jobs: programming, training and administration - anywhere -- pike programmer working in china community.gotpike.org foresight developer (open-steam|caudium).org foresightlinux.org unix sysadmin iaeste.at realss.com Martin Bähr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/ is.schon.org _______________________________________________ LUGS Mailing list - [email protected] List FAQ: http://wiki.lugs.org.sg/LugsMailingListFaq Info page: http://www.lugs.org.sg/mailman/listinfo/slugnet To unsubscribe send an empty email to: [email protected]
