Hey Guys:I'm attempting to reduce the amount of complexity in my network while still maintaining a fairly redundant set of services. My question is simple: does it make more sense to trunk VLANS up to my ISR G2 Routers from my switches or does it ma...
Hey Cisco Community: I have a simple question. Can I NAT just my guest wireless network, whose VLAN gateway sits on my L3 switches (HSRP), onto a public IP and not have it translated again by my second NAT, which sits on the last hop out of my netwo...
Hi Cisco Experts:I'd like to perform a site survey with my 1242 AG lightweight AP's. However, I am not able to do this while having them connected to the controller. How do I turn these AP's on and test signal strength? I'm putting these in a smal...
Hi Cisco Experts:I have a design question: If I have a WAN connection on one primary router, and a second WAN connection (vis a vis 4G Cellular data) on a secondary Router, and I want all outgoing data to use the primary WAN until failover to the sec...
Hi Cisco Experts:I have 6 vlans split evenly across (2x) Layer 3 3560 switches. I'm hosting DHCP on the switches, and I have HSRP failover to the other switch. If HSRP fails over, I'd like the failover switch to take over all DHCP requests. To acc...
Hey Luis: I'm following up to share that the topology looked good for my R1 (ISR G2 Router), since it has a 4ESG EHWIC that can be trunked using a single VLAN SVI with IP address. But my R2 doesn't have that EHWIC card, so when trying to put two rou...
@luis_cordova Thank you again for this great info. In my previous scenario, I wasn't planning on turning the ports into routable interfaces. I was going to try and keep them trunked. I would only create virtual interfaces on the routers with assig...
I now understand the confusion. My use of the phrase 'forward' vlan traffic to the routers does seem to imply router on a stick. (By the way, I had forgotten about sub-interfaces until you mentioned them in your post.) I have one outstanding questi...
@luis_cordova Thank you for your input; I've learned a lot. I think option 2 will add flexibility and performance to my existing setup, so I'm definitely going with option 2. However, I'd like to ask for clarification on a comment you made. You st...
@luis_cordova I think I understand the options, but can you confirm? 1) Forward all VLans via trunk to the routers, realizing that unnecessary broadcast traffic will be sent to the routers. This removes one "hop" from the topology when passing traf...
