I'm studying traffic shaping and policing and want to make sure this policy I created will do what I intended. I have a device on the network: 10.0.3.50 My intention is that when this device attempts to communicate with subnet 10.0.7.0/24, traffic wi...
I'm currently studying for the CCNP Switch exam and am on the topic of local VLANs. It is recommended by Cisco to not span a VLAN across multiple switches but rather create local VLANs per access-switch/IDF. I understand how this helps with convergen...
Below is output from the LAN interface on our Cisco 1941 router. This interface connects directly to a port on an HP Procurve switch. Note the output errors, CRC error, and input errors in bold. I have read several posts and articles describing what ...
The CPU utilization has been averaging about 65% which is way up from its usual 3-5%. When I do a "show processes cpu sorted" I do not see anything using a high amount of CPU. What could it be/where else should I look?
Is it insecure to establish a site-to-site VPN between two routers directly connected to the internet? I was told a security appliance, rather than just a router, should be used to establish the VPN on both ends. The reasoning was that although the e...
I see the drops. With traffic shaping, doesn't it queue the traffic instead of dropping? I though policing will drop exceeding traffic but shaping will queue it to send.
Honestly...I don't know haha! I guess I've just only seen networks where there was a single VLAN for voice and one for data per location. The idea of a routed access layer and local VLANs is just a very new concept to me. The same goes for wireless. ...
Most (if not all) L3 switches route using hardware, not software. This is why it is preferred over STP. You would be doing equal cost load balancing between the two paths so there would virtually be no fail over.Refer to this documentation regarding ...
Yes the majority of switches used for the access layer today are L2 switches. It expensive to replace all of these with L3 switches but best-practices says if you have the money, it is better to replace these with L3 switches and do routing between d...
