IEEE 802.1v support on SMB Switches

[ltobal]

Hi!

Is IEEE 802.1v supported by some Cisco SMB switch ? Which model ?

Could someone help, please ?

Thanks,

Leonardo.

Hi, to my knowledge none of the small business switches support 802.1v.

Hi, Thomas!

Reading some datasheets I found this information at "Cisco 500 Series Stackable Managed Switches":

"Port-based and 802.1Q tag-based VLANs"

The URL is below:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps10903/ps12128/c78-695646_data_sheet.html

Would be this switch family compliant to IEEE 802.1v ? I've not found an explicit reference to this standard.

Best Regards,

Leonardo.

802.1v is kind of an extension of 802.1q. The switch does not support any kind of dynamic vlan outside of 802.1x  (DVA) or auto voice vlan features and GVRP (if your network devices also support GVRP).
