Re: Multiple 802.1q subinterfaces with the same vlan underthesame physical interface
|
|
My conclusion is that in the scenario I am using the problem is that it
won't be possible to configure a router with several subinterfaces in
the same vlan under the same physical interface due an issue with the
MAC address and the switches side.
And yes, At the moment I am just trying to consolidate the router side,
reduce the management efforts, point of failures... since we go for just
2 routers in HSRP with vlans and VRF instead of a 4 routers (2 x HSRP).
Thanks for all the comments.
