Hi, Are Cisco Gigabit Ethernet ports all the same wavelength? That is should every gigabit ethernet optical connection work with every other gigabit ethernet connection? cheers, Andrew

Hi, Is it possible to set an loopback interface in the config. to be used as the source interface for telnet and pings by default, cheers, Andrew

Great this has fixed it, [thumbsup2] cheers, Andrew

Hi, I've cleared the syslog buffer, and when I look at the most recent messages they have a tag of '1w4d'. I would have expected a time-stamp. Here are the commands.... #clear logging (config-if)#shutdown #show logging 1w4d: %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Ethernet5/0, changed state to...

Hi, Is it possible in IOS to bring an ATM PVC administratively down independently of the sub-interface. Say on IOS version 12.0 and beyond? cheers, Andrew

hi, Do you get a linkDown trap if the protocol of an interface is down, e.g. "ATM12/0/0 is up, line protocol is down"? cheers, Andrew

Hi, many thanks, cheers, Andrew

Hi, I presume that is there no longer any need to learn set-based commands (CatOS commands)? As it is no longer in the BCMSN course? cheers, Andrew

Many thx, cheers, Andrew

Yes, indeed. I think I understand now. It is just going to be a next hop, and the subnet is redundant as there is nothing else on the subnet. Routing updates will not be affected, cheers, Andrew

Hi, In what way would this break the routing across a serial link? The router would send the packets to the next-hop address whatever that may be, from where it would be routed again. You mean if the traffic's destination was the IP address at the far end? But the router would know the far end...

Hi, If the far-end interface on a serial link has an IP address which is not on the subnet defined locally does this cause any problems? cheers, Andrew

Hi, I believe the 5000 & 6000 series Catalyst Switches can use CatOS, as well as IOS, and they did solely in the past. What is the benefits of still using CatOS, are there any? i.e. Has IOS support for switching and MLS caught-up/surpaased with that of CatOS? As an aside doeS anyone have a...

Hi, Yep it does, so I believe the difference is the RSP's (5000,5500,6000,6500) are large modular routers and the MLS (3550) is a single entity which can perform the same L3 functions, Many thx, cheers, Andrew
