Doing things backwards - Question for the CCDPs in the list.
I know that this is not the list for CCDA questions but I hope that you will humor me. I have recently completed CCNP and studied with another engineer who was already CCDA certified. We studied for the CID (640-025) exam together and I passed this exam today. My question is this: Is the DCN (CCDA) exam sufficiently different from the CID that I will need to study for it separately or will the prep for the CID exam suffice. Thanks in advance for your advice.

Thanks!!!
I passed Switching on Friday and can now call myself a CCNP. Many, many thanks to all those who responded to my questions over the last months. Special thanks to those "gurus" who regularly provide answers and clarification to the toughest questions.

Spanning Tree Question - Root Port Selection
I have been looking for a while for further documentation of the process by which a switch selects its root port. Most of the books that I have searched for this information say something similar to the following quote from a CCO page: "A bridge's root port is the port through which the root bridge can be reached with the least aggregate path cost, a value that is called the root path cost." My problem is that they all seem to stop there. My question is this. If the root path cost is the same on multiple switch ports, how does STA determine which is the root port? Does it follow the same course as it would when selecting a designated port (root bridge, root path cost, sender ID, sender port). Many thanks for your thoughts.

MLS Question
If a MLS destination IP flow is established by a TCP packet from one host to another does the return packet establish a second flow, individually defined in the MLS cache, or does the MLS process recognize the return packet as part of the first flow switch it based on the original MLS cache entry. In looking for answers to this question we have found conflicting documentation. Some indicates that a new flow is established and other docs indicate that the frame is switched per the original entry. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
