Hello,

i just got 2 cisco 2950's and I would like some input into how I should setup my network. 

Current setup:
Cisco PIX 501--------------------------------------Cisco 2950 ----------------------Cisco 2950.
                                                                             |        |                                            |

Should I bother to setup separate Vlans on this configuration?

How should I setup my cisco 2950's

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Switches / Hubs
