Hi Kenneth,
Just sometime ago, we were having problem on providing trunking 802.1q
between Alcatel powerail with Cisco Switch. Till now we do not know what
seems to be the problem... from Cisco perspective, the switch said that
there was no trunking from the Alcatel switch.... We noticed some
guideline from other vendor (3COM, HP) on how to intergrate with Cisco
switch, do you know where we can get somekind of documentation on how
alcatel integrate with Cisco.
Regards,
Budi
