IBM and Cisco LAN Switching: An Interoperability and Migration Guide

This IBM Redbook will help anyone who has an IBM campus/LAN network today. Where is this network going to go, given that IBM is no longer developing and selling Ethernet and ATM LAN hardware? How is the network infrastructure to evolve? What are the implications of adding hardware from other vendors to an existing network? This book looks at some of the possibilities available when adding Cisco switching equipment to these existing networks. It explains the similarities and differences between the IBM and Cisco product lines and shows how networks can be constructed using a mixture of equipment from both vendors.

This book will help users of IBM Ethernet and ATM switches plan for the growth and eventual migration of their existing networks. A companion redbook, IBM Router Interoperability and Migration Examples, explores how to expand and migrate IBM router networks.

Guidelines given in this IBM Redbook are general. Several scenarios are included, and although actual customer networks will differ, these scenarios serve as examples for you to develop proper plans to expand or migrate your networks to meet future business requirements.

Customers are invited to engage IBM in the planning process.
