L2PT and Discontiguous VLANs
So heres the scenario here. [CAT3750]==[Internet]==[CAT3750] I want to RSPAN traffic from one side to the other. From reading up on L2PT, it looks as if it only supports sending CDP, STP and VTP. Asside from a L2 MPLS VPN, would there be any other way to tunnel my traffic between the switches, as it appears L2PT wouldnt…

Nexus Switches
I'm in this class this week, and I'm surprised at how many features that cisco is purposely leaving off the box. None of the service modules (FWSM for example) are on the box. With that said these are very powerful switches and you can screw up and roll back configs. I just hate the fact that Cisco is not letting these…

Might add some new equipment to the home lab
So my work is getting rid of some 3620's and 3640's. I'm thinking about making an addition to my home lab, but not sure if it will be any help. The 3640's can run as MPLS P routers which is nice, but you don't get any of the ZBF functionality. The 3620's can't run MPLS at all, and while they can do IPv6, they don't do…
