Chapter 7. Nortel Networks L2/3 GbESM configuration and network integration 127
Configure additional VLANs and subnets for the uplink ports
Example 7-29 and Example 7-30 on page 129 use a VLAN and associated subnet for each
pair of switches which are connected. VLAN 35 connects GbESM1 (.243) with Core1 (.245),
and similarly for VLANs 36, 45, and 46. The port aggregation (trunking) used in the previous
samples is used here as well. The GbESMs still require default gateways on the VLANs
which connect them to the Core switches. This is expected to change in future software
releases.
