1st sentence: remember that that mls-rp takes precedence over the flowmask in the mls-se. remember the default flow is dest-ip. so any change is going to be more specific.
2nd sentence: i think it is still refering to the mls-se in context. since the mls-se must match the mls-rp. .. that is one interpretation of the 2nd sentence i guess.. hth, mark. -----Original Message----- From: Kim O'Connor [mailto:koconnor15@;cox.net] Sent: Thursday, 14 November 2002 12:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MLS Question [7:57406] I have a question about MLS. I am reading Webb's BCMSN book, and I have come across a statement that does not make any sense to me. On page 234, in the first paragraph, it reads: MLS-SE supports only one flow mask for all MLS-RPs that are serviced by the MLS-SE. If the MLS-SE detects different flow masks from different MLS-RPs for which the MLS-SE is performing Layer 3 switching, the MLS-SE changes its flow mask to the most specific flow detected. However, if a more specific flow mask is in effect, a less specific flow mask is applied. It is the last 2 sentences that I am having a problem with. It seems to say that chooses the more specific flow mask and then in the next sentence seems to contradict that information. Can some one clear this up for me?
