[AusNOG] Cisco Switch recommendations for a small ISP

Id be a tiny bit careful there.

We've had equipment from a couple of vendors which should have been doing completely non-invasive switching, yet either would not transit or would remove the lower vlan tag's off stacked frames.

As always, Best to test :)

Can anyone comment on their experience with either of these or differences they've found?

neither likely meets all your requirements around q-in-q, although thats a bit of a generic requirement, any L2 switch can transport Q-in-Q as they are just L2 frames. Ability to be intelligent about encap/decap/stacking is another.....


cheers,
