Catalyst 2960 and SGE500 switches

[AlGeorges]

Hi,

Can we  on the same network use Cisco Catalyst 2960 and Cisco SGE500 switches and share the same VLANs ?

Hi,

I didn't find VLAN support in key feautures of SGE500 but I'm sure it is there. For VLAN sharing you must configure trunk between switches. The number of VLAN must be the same (exluded some cases).

For sharing VLAN information (VLAN count, names etc) the switches must support VTP protocol, not sure that SGE500 support it. But VTP is not necessary for trunking between switches.
