: It would be interesting if there was a vulnerability that allowed you to
: break the VLAN definitions.. I know many companies that practically run
: their entire networks together into several Catalysts via VLANS :) Secure
: networks and public ones right next to each other.

: I thought that based on the nature of VLANS that they would not be
: susceptible to attack from the network layer because they switch traffic
: based on the port number, not on any content of the frame or packet? Still,
: it would be interesting :)

What about redefining the VLANs in the config? Of course that would
require getting control of the switch.
