Hi<br>Has anyone setup VLANS using 3Ccom 3300 switchs (IEEE 802.2 1Q VLAN standard)and CISCO routing running ISL, with installed ISL cards. I'm not certain if i need a CISCO switch, if i already have the 3Coms and if they are compatible, with CISCO.<br><br>david
 
You will need to go into the Cisco switch and configure it for 802.1q trunking.&nbsp;&nbsp;On a catalyst 5500 the command is set trunk 1/1 desirable dot1q.&nbsp;&nbsp;On a router you have to create a subinterface, ip address, encapsulation dot1q (vlan number).&nbsp;&nbsp;All this because ISL is a Cisco propieitary protocol.<br><br>Hope this helps<br>Rob Brown
