great info on the cam table commands!
question: I would like to hear from the list members so inclined to read and respond to this meager cabling question. With a new data center in mind, (probably gig Ethernet over all 4 pairs of copper) is there a call to use cat 5 Shielded cable due to the surrounding equipment, interference, etc... This seems odd to me, I am thinking just go with Unshielded Twisted Pair on the Cat 5 runs from say the servers to the switch, and anywhere not utilizing fiber. Anyone have any experience with shielded TP for cat 5? Is this a real solution, and is it necessary? Thanks in advance, the list is always entertaining~! Jason exert from cisco.com Shielded twisted-pair cable is the most commonly used cable in Token-Ring environments. The media interface connectors (MICs) and baluns---used to connect shielded twisted-pair and unshielded twisted-pair cabling---create a loopback when they are disconnected; the loopback might cause anomalies with the switch.
