I would first ask why in the world does your customer want to buy
these relatively expensive high end switches that most likely are likely
L3 capable and ask you to design a simple flat network?? I often am
asked to do things I think are not in the, IMHO, best interest of the
customer and if you explain why and how you could better design and
configure their network all but the most stubborn my way or the highway
types will appreciate and accept the guidence. About redsigning, i.e.
renumbering their IP network I have one acronym, DHCP.
Just because you can do something don't mean you should.
