It's possible that your older Cisco switch does only Cisco's proprietary ISL vlan tagging, not the modern 802.1q standard now used for vlans. First Cisco gear implemented ISL, and then later both ISL and dot1q, and eventually dropped ISL support completely. > I also are not really sure what are differents between vlan and VLAN > trunking. Vlan trunking allows traffic from more than one vlan to be carried on a single link. In a typical configuration, most network ports will be "access" ports, which connect a single device to the network and belong to a single vlan. Ports which need to carry traffic from more than one vlan, "trunk" ports, are used for special cases such as links between switches or to servers or routers. Kirk |
