Hello,
I have conflicting information from Cisco docs on the web. I am trying to get a
 Cat
5500 with SupIII / RSM to allow extended VLAN's in the 802.1q standard of 4096.
 Cisco
supports up to 4094 I believe.
On a Cat 6000 this is trivial: you turn on MAC ADDRESS REDUCTION and then you c
an
start assigning VLAN's above 1000 up to 4094 and also assign it to trunks.
But, on a Cat 5500, this is not possible. I mean I can turn on mac address redu
ction,
but the box still only lets me put in up to 1000 vlan. Cisco claims that the 50
00 can
do 4094 Vlans like the standards say. They also talk about mapping between ISL
and
dot1q vlans (which is what I do not want) but I am running into road blocks.
Before I call TAC for the skinny, I figured let me try my luck on the forum. Th
ank you.
The switch config is:
