  21. Campuswide VLANs • Users are Members of a specific VLAN (Subnet)independent of physical moves • Each VLAN could have a common set of security requirements for all members • Today most traffic is local to VLANWith wirespeed L3 Performance no longer required

  22. I.e. User VLAN Membership via MAC address with VMPS Feature on moves Layer 3-4+ Routing and Filtering Access Control, Accounting Central ACLNetflow RMON Campuswide VLANs Issue: Scalability of campuswide L2 VLANs

  25. Workgroup Servers Campuswide VLAN =>Ethernet Backbone Switched Ethernet • Majority of local Traffic • Static IP addressing is common (DHCP can be used, too) • Common security requirements per VLAN • Lots of adds, moves and changes • All VLANs across all switches and the backbone over time • Spanning Tree Loadin Distribution/CoreLayer !!
