I can't wrap my mind around it either, as enterprise switches handle all
manner of VLANs on the switch.
I run multiple VLAN environments off of my old Cisco Catalyst 4000 with
no problem. I did the same at multiple enterprise environments, even off
of multiple Catalyst 6509's.
There is a reason that the supervisor module is as "smart" as it is,
it's so that you can route between each VLAN as needed.
I wonder if he's using VLAN 1...
