Nice one, thanks :-)

Thanks for the reply! Multiple, separate routers I can understand and that might be a possible approach. My CCNA didn't cover this: is there any way to make an *entire network of L3 switches* behave as a logical whole, with regard to routing? Or is the correct approach to configure each one...

I've read many IP routing examples where a single Layer 3 switch is used as the router in a network environment where all other switches are operating just at Layer 2. That's fine, I understand that. However, what about if one has many Layer 3 switches? Does one (a) simply choose one of the...

Yeah, it's been tested by the original installer and deemed 'dead'. They are going to fix and/or re-lay it ... cheers.

Yes, I'm beginning to think this myself. My suspicion is actually with the Cat5e cabling on the ports I've been testing 'West' from, rather than the fibre though. Well, there are two switches and soon I will have more VLANs - i.e. when I introduce VMPS. Thanks Andy...

I have two Cisco 4006s, one in each of two comms rooms ("West" and "East"). Most of our servers and other kit (including those providing our internet link) is in "East": desktop PCs patched to 'East' get good network performance connecting to our local servers and to the internet. Desktop PCs...

Yes, as everyone stated, there should be no problems on that fibre. However, it turns out that the fibre run is dead, so ... Thanks.

I have two Cisco 4006 switches and each has a 1000-Base-SX GBIC with an SC connector. I am trying to trunk between these two using the GBICs. If I use a SC-to-SC fibre patch lead and connect the switches directly together, I can trunk fine, so the switches are obviously behaving OK. However...

Thanks, Andyleates

When one assigns a MAC address to a port using something like: set port security 2/1 enable <mac-address> does this (a) allow only this MAC address to connect to port 2/1 and no other MACs to connect to 2/1; or (b) allow this MAC address to connect only to this port 2/1 and not allow this...

I am investigating the possibilities of using VMPS on my LAN. I have inherited a single Cisco 4006 switch, fully populated with 10/100 blades. The top module describes itself as "WS-X4013 Supervisor Engine II" I have done the following: set vmps downloadserver 10.1.1.9 vmps.dat set vmps...
