We've considered implementing unique customer VLANS to separate customer broadcast domains, but it seems like that'd be a pain, would eat up IP addresses, and possibly tax our routers with all of the ISL/VLAN stuff?
We do that; it's unwise to have everyone on the same VLAN, as some others have demonstrated.
We do that as well (but different environment). We have a 5500 with NFFC-II cards for layer-3 "switching" and feed a 7505 over 2FEIP cards by fast etherchannel ISL trunks. Routes IP/IPX between over a dozen VLANs without blinking. A 4500M with FEIP can do quite a few as well, but doesn't support portchannel. Jeff Kell <jeff-kell@utc.edu>
