1. As you noted R4 has a connection through e0/0's subinterfaces to R5, SW4,
and SW3. R4's e0/0 is one physical connection. how is it possible to have
3 physical connections terminate at one physical interface. I'm missing
some logic there.(yes, I'm looking in the switching guide right now, haven't
found it yet.)
2. Looking at the diagram and at the running configs how am I supposed to
determine which switchports are connected to which routers? Once I've
determined that I can config them as l3trunks. Again the only clue I get
from the diagram is the vlan interface ID. Although I can now see that by
IWEB's logic I can guess that for R4 it's f0/4 on SW3 and SW4 and f0/5 on
SW4 and SW3 for R5. The solution only has one port on each switch being
configured (I'm missing logic and it's probably the same thing thats giving
me a headache on issue 1). There has to be a better way to determine which
switchports I need to configure.
