Oh and another thing, Since the 2 1600 series routers can't do encapsulations on sub-interfaces, I had use e0 and e1 (i per vlan). I connect e0 to a vlan1 assined port on the switch and e1 to vlan2 """""". Is this correct??

This is a dumb question but I need to make sure on what I'm doing. On the trunked port, I connect the radio right. Dummy me had the router on it. I am using wireless test model to send vlan information over. By the way since I am doing 2 vlans, 1 radio per, and am having to trunk 2 ports on...

So I assume that since the router doesn't support 1q on sub-interfaces that I could make a work around by using each interface (e0,e1) to route each vlan right?? This is really a dumb question, but here goes:: -----What is supposed to be connected to the trunk port on the switch, the router or...

I've been reading posts and I think I have a problem... ----I tried to do vlan 1 on e0 and vlan 2 on e1 on each of the routers, because I read somewhere that the crappy 1600 router didn't support dot1q encapsulations on sub-interfaces -----The trunk on the switch (fa 0/1) is connected to e0 on...

I will try to describe our test setup best I can: 1.(2) 3500 Catalyst switches. -On each of the switches, there is 1 router and two Aironet radios, described below: ***2 interfaces on the routers. E0 is a member of vlan 1 on the switch, E1 is a member of vlan 2 on the switch (each have a...

Thanks Normal, I assume that if you configure switch ports for "normal" (no pun intended) vlan membership, then each port would not be a member of more than 1 vlan, correct?? I understand your trunking point. Let me try to explain my situation a little bit more: -We have a...

Well said normal, If you want to be more than a paper tech then you definately need to know how to set up a network. I was very satisfied with Sybex's simulator. It was basic in its teaching but solid.

I need more info: I tested multicasting 12 comps with both a repeater and a Cisco Switch. BIG Difference. We use Ghost 7 Enterprise. What is your setup?? Are you Ghosting over the network or have an isolated switch?? I had major lag using the repeater, but with the switch it soared!!

Grab Sybex's E-Trainer and CCNA book combo. They are outstanding. I did some hardcore study and hands on router configuration using them for about a month and a half. I passed the test on the first try. I know that you will pleased with the materials. -Eric

Outstanding, Thanks everyone! I see your point wybnormal, I am tackling a digital monster. I have another very important question: -Can a port on a switch be a member of two vlans simultaneously?? Thanks, Eric

That could be my problem, I flash it with IP only, I think the update I used only came in that form. Are you sure the 1600 model supports dot1q on subinterfaces???

This is all great stuff people, keep it coming. I assume Arbolt that you meant (in your last sentence), with separate vlans, the internet traffic will not have the same oppotunity..........?? I am learning so much from you guys, I have more questions.. How on Earth do you all design large...

So marsd, If 1 school is in its own vlan (for ex. vlan 8) and it connects into the main switch via aironet radio at the main building (which is the high school) then it really doesn't benefit us?? Is that what you are saying. What if every school is in its own vlan which then ties into the...

Thanks for the replies (keep them coming, especially instructors). I have some questions: Each school is in its own domain with 1 router and switches(1 or more). Since each school is in its own broadcast domain (dictated by the router), how does VLANing improve in this aspect over just a flat...

Our Network: Ethernet, Windows NT environment, Cisco Routers, Hubs, Aironet Wireless Radios interconnecting our school district across the city (about 15 schools). Everyone is in VLAN 1 (default). Each school is in its own domain. We have an extended star top. I need to create a proposal on...
