Also note that AFAIK, IPX routing in Native IOS on the Sup 2 is done in
software, not hardware.
If you need lots of performance with IPX routing, stick with hybrid.

Subject: OT:6509/IPX/802.1q
Hey all,
Just looking to see if anyone has done bridging of IPX across 802.1q trunk links
on a 6509.
I'm in process of ordering some new Sup-2's running Native mode, and I'm having
trouble determining if I can in fact bridge IPX across a trunk link.
Its not by choice that I'm doing this, but the current env. Is all one big IPX
network in bridging mode. I'm going to rip out the Sup-1 and replace it with 2
of the Sup-2's. The 6509 is going to have Gig trunk ports to several floors
connecting up to 3550's. Currently the DC servers and the clients are all
hard-coded for frame type and network number. The Servers are running some
special applications that are going to prevent me from changing there network
number so I think that I'm only left with the option of bridging IPX until I can
complete the migration to IP only. There are 300+ clients and changing the
clients isn't an option...
I have found documentation stating that it can be done on routers, but I can't
find any confirmation that it can be done on the 6509 sup cards. I don't see why
not, but I'm trying to eliminate any potential cut-over problems before they
happen.
Any insight or pointers is greatly appreciated as always!
Larry
