WS2948G can only support dot1q trunks which is very starange as its a cisco
switch !

isl is better if you only have cisco switches. multiply spanning-tree
instances is the main reason to use it plus its the default :)

Subject: ISL Trunking vs dot1q

Group,

Has anyone experience the pros and cons of isl vs dot1q? I am asking about
performance-wise and all equipments are ciscos. Why would one chose to use
isl instead of dot1q? And can the cisco WS2948G (only G)
use isl? I only see dot1q supported.
Thanks.

Blades of Darkness.
