hey all,
What is the point of a trunk connection between 2 switches? Besides the security and reduced traffic?
What I'm asking I suppose is why would I want two PC's on separate VLAN's not to be able to ping one another?
Seems more sensible to stick a router or multilayer-switch in there rather than trunking 2 switches?
apologies if this seems really dense.. coming back after a month long break to do the ICND2..
Thanks for reading

Leave the monkies alone! They've got problems enough as it is!

What about if you wanted the same subnet (VLAN) to span multiple switches? If you use a routed L3 solution you would not be able to do that.The only easy day was yesterday!
