Campus LAN With loops L2

[alfredobosca]

Hello,

I am eager with another hard project that consist in divide 2 buildings with L3. As you can see in the picture, both buildings is working together with L2 (all vlans are propagated through trunk interface between 6500 devices).

In this way when exists a L2 loop, this is propagated of all devices.

- The main issue to migrate to Level3 is that exists some devices that only works with multicast traffic and I don't know if multicast traffic of vlan can be migrated to L3.

-Somebody knows the best form to migrate to L3?

Thanks,

Hi,

The main issue to migrate to Level3 is that exists some devices that only works with multicast traffic and I don't know if multicast traffic of vlan can be migrated to L3.

Multicast traffic can run on L3 with no issues, as long as you have the proper license/image to run PIM. If the only devices that will be doing L3 multicast are the 6500 switches, than just make sure the image on them can support PIM.
