VLANS and APA

[Steve Bazinet_1]

Does anyone know if VLANS work over APA, or if its even planned to be in the product. I read a ITRC post from 2001 where HP was looking for Beta users and one of the features was supposed to be VLANS over aggregates.

Thanks for you help.

Hi Steve,

I've taken this quote for the 11i Lan Products patch PHNE_28923 released in June this year :

"APA over VLANs are not supported. APA must not acquire a port that is a virtual interface."

so it appears not. There was mention of this feature being available as a furture vlan featue, see page 11 of the following document :

Cheers,

James.

Thanks for the info James. Now lets take this a step further. Any HP folks reading this that can tell us when the VLAN with APA will be released? There are other OS vendors that have had this ability for a long time. No pressure ;-)

Thanks

Steve
