Good morning:
One way that I have been working with the switch design is to have one 3550
and multiple 2950's. With the test in January have the opportunity for
multiple switches the 2950 can perform most of the Layer 2 requests. With
ISDN, ATM, and DLSW+ all going away I woulkd suppect that tyhose Layer 2
questions would be added to Ethernet switch complexity at Layer 2.
If I was a proctor I would throw something on the new test that would
create a STP loops if you did not pay attention. Requirements for port
security, VLAN management, more complex trunking, MAC security, etc.
