Just curious if I will need a layer 2 switch for my companies network. Right now I'm going to go with a MX65 for my edge device, then use the MS250-48P (Layer 3 switch). Now I want to have two (2) VLANS. Let's say VLAN 1 for data and VLAN 10 for voice. Would I require a layer 2 switch as well to implement this type of network? Or could I just have port 1 on the MS250 set as a trunk going towards the MX65, and then say have ports 2-10 set as access ports and set the VLAN to 1 and the voice VLAN to 10? Under the "Routing and DHCP" tab, if I just configured two interfaces, one as the 172.16.8.0/24 subnet (data) and another interface as 172.16.9.0 subnet (voice), and have my MX65 act as the DHCP server for voice. I wouldn't need the MX65 to act as a DHCP server for the data VLAN as I already have one set up on windows server for that.
