Measuring VLAN performance
Hi all,
I'm in the process of converting a flat network (approx 2000 users) to a more layered approach using VLANS. We have 2x Cisco 6509 switches with Sup720's configured as a HSRP core, linked with a l3 etherchannel, and an l2 etherchannel.
Each closet will comprise 3 vlans - one for voice, one for data and VLAN1 for management.
I would like to know how the addition of vlans is affecting the overall network - i.e as areas come off vlan1 for user traffic and get moved to their respective vlan how the overall network performance is hopefully improving, and I'm looking for any information that would help me measure this, or indeed any aspect of the network which I should be measuring. The idea is to be able to show how the vlan introduction is helping the site.
Many thanks in advance.
Regards, Ger
