STP interoperability

Aug 02, 2006 0 Replies

Hi,



We're planning to provide a redundant/failover L2 point-to-point link solution to a customer based on some flavor of the Spanning-Tree Protocol. On one end of the link will be a 3750; on the other we have the option of dropping in a 2950 or a 3750, or utilizing the customer's existing HP / Netgear infrastructure. There will be no trunking between the locations, and in the short term, the 3750 will support (1) SVI and one routed port, possibly growing to 2+ SVIs sometime in the future. For cost reasons, the customer may prefer utilizing their existing hardware on the HP/Netgear side.



The one doubt I have at this point is whether I'm going to hit any roadblocks attempting to set up 802.1D between the 3750 and some HP and/or Netgear switches on the other end.



Thanks for any advice.



Adam
