Folks,I have been reading various Cisco docs about STP. The only thing I can't understand so far is how BPDU's are sent to other switches on active interfaces after initialisation when everything I've read so far says that interfaces in the Blocking...
Is there a way to update the firmware / microcode on the ASA or SSM? I am planning on upgrading the ASA version from 7.2(2) to 8.0(4) and was wondering how, if at all, the firmware was ever upgraded too. The output from 'sh module' is below.ASA# s...
Readers,I have an issue when trying to migrate trunk connections off two access switches (hwbssw35a and hwbssw35b) from hwbwcata to hwbwcatc. The access switches, and presumably devices directly connected to it, can no longer can access distant netw...
Giuseppe,Thanks for your reply. And what you have said along with another NetPro post that I read a little earlier has truly made my day. Thanks so much!Regards,Timothy
Folks,This is the most illuminating article I have ever read as I too have struggled for a long time to understand why diagrams are drawn one way, the show commands say another and the command reference says something that whilst true (one would hope...
> there must be a mapping table created to associate the destination IP addresses with local DLCIsFolks,Why it that the DLCI contained in the frame-relay interface-dlci command is local? From my persective the DLCI is on the other end of the link a...
Thanks. I understand what you are saying. What would happen if the switches were, for example, just powered up? The switches would need to work out who the root switch is going to be. So STP starts in an initialising state and then, according to ...
NT,To put it another way:STP initialises and then at some point all the active interfaces go into Blocking. When are Hello BPDU's sent to work out who the root switch is and what is the STP state of the interfaces when this happens?Thanks,Timothy Bo...
