I recently took a job a a University, There is a large Cisco switch environment in place. I need some to understand, but dont want to ask my sup as I will lokk like an idiot.
We have 2 6509's with router blades in them and dozens of 3500's, 3550's and 2900's all over campus.
Does the 6509 router handle all the routing between Vlans or are the other series of switches I mentioned capable of routing.
I am an old cisco router guy but realatively new to layer 3 switches. I understand Vlan's etc. Just not sure what these swithches are capable of and wheter or not packet destined for another Vlan are sent all the way back to the 6509.
Any input is appreciated
