[vishwancc]

Here is the senario...

there are 2 access layer switch 1&2 they are connected using access link,on switch1 i have all ports in vlan2 and on switch2 i have all the ports in vlan 10.

will i be able to ping from a system connected to switch1 to system on switch2 the system are in same subnet.

Hi,

Although this is a weired setup, but it should work, as the frames are sent untagged on access ports.

Hi,

As i told you before although this is a weired setup as it makes no sense to connect 2 switches via access ports, they should be connected via trunk ports (in order to be able to handle all the VLANs between the 2 switches), but it should work as the frames are sent untagged on access ports and this shouldn't have any impact on the ports.
