Hello, I have 2 switches - one in building X and the other in building Y. The buildings are connected via fiber and eigrp is the protocol that's setup between them. The buildings are p2p connections between 7200's. I need the Vlans to be propagated from switch "y" to switch "x" over the L3 connection. If the the link between the buildings were l2 - I could use VTP.  :(   Thanks!! E

Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.

If the switches are linked by L3, then “normal” VLAN’s won’t be propogated automatically. The switches at opposite ends of the link will work “independently”; although traffic can be routed from one side to the other.

In fact, it is tricky (but not impossible) to have the same subnets active on opposite ends of a L3 link. So you will have a different set of VLANS on the two switches…

    Is it possible to divide switch interfaces into sub interfaces? This is what you do when you need to carry VLAN data across P2P on Cisco routers.
