vlans and ipx network

[sarahr202]

hi every body!

I have few questions:

1)Can layer 2 switches such as 2900 series ios switches, perform fall back bridging or only multilayer switches can perform fallback bridging?

2)Vlan is used to divide the ip broadcast domain. Is vlan concept same for ipx network ?

thanks a lot and have a nice weekend!

1. No. It can't be done

2. Keep in mind, IPX is classified as non-ip. It can't bridge between vlans. Fallback bridging is needed.

Note: C3560 and C3750 can support fallback bridging.
