I tend to support Aki in this one. <div><br></div><div>Running a Layer 2 network with STP is a headache and this is why many providers prefer to run SDH networks. If you have good quality gear, 60 vlans i quite a big network for a corporate setting so L3 would be best. If the gear does not support layer 3 then MSTP would be a good way to go although HSRP is also equally good, depends on what you are most confortable doing. </div>

I assume this is some serious segmentations taking place, why don&#39;t you use layer 3 segmentation at the core rather than the run datalink layer on the entire network? The switches running BP will produce too many points of failure. IMHO. :-)<div class="HOEnZb">
