RE: CCNP switching Exam question [7:60537]
Destination-IP flow mask on the MLS-SE is the default flow mask, no access-lists are being used on the MLS-RP. Source-Destination-IP flow mask on the MLS-SE is used when there is a standard access-list used on the MLS-RP. IP-Flow flow mask on the MLS-SE is used when there is an extended access-list used on the MLS-RP. Depending on what flow mask is being used (depending on what access-list is being used) will influence the type of MLS cache. If the Destination-IP flow mask is used, then the MLS-SE cache maintains one MLS entry for each given destination IP address. If the Source-Destination-IP flow mask is used, the MLS-SE cache has a separate entry for each source and destination pair. If the IP-Flow flow mask is used, the MLS-SE cache has a separate entry for each unique combination of source and destination IP address, each protocol port number, and each type of IP protocol.

RE: CCNP Switching [7:56559]
I can't speak from a great deal of experience here, but set based switches seem easier to configure, because you can change settings for multiple ports with one command. For example, on a CAT5K, to change duplex speed to full on a whole module (12 port 10bFL) I type Set port duplex 3/1-12 full And it sets it on all 12 interfaces. Doing this in an IOS based switch would require the use of notepad and cut and paste :) It would be a shame if Cisco did migrate away from the set based language.

Remember that the Catalyst switch line was originally made by Kalpana (and Grand Junction sort of), which developed the set-based commands independently of any Cisco involvement. Cisco wisely realizes that having a unified front makes their products more attractive to us lowly engineers, and IMO the unification is a long time coming! ;-) BJ Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7i=56587t=56559 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Moroni, I studied hard on ATM LAN switching. I passed 640-504 on 01-02-02. There was no question about ATM in the exam. I checked with cisco.com and found ATM was removed. Good luck, Tu Do.

Re: CCNP-Switching and ATM LANE - - Urgent [7:6210]
How many versions are there? We are talking Cisco exam 640-504, right? Well, I checked Cisco's website: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/10/wwtraining/certprog/testing/current_exam s/640-504.html According to the above link, ATM and LANE are listed as Network Protocols covered by the exam, so I have to give you that... (geez, I hate when I do research and see that I'm *wrong*! =) However, I can honestly say that I don't recall ATM/LANE questions on the switching exam, except maybe something about basic definitions of LEC, LES, LECS, etc.. So, let me amend my previous statement of ATM LANE is not covered with ATM is barely mentioned, so if you learn the basic terms of ATM, that should be sufficient hehe Mike W. (At least I'll admit when I'm wrong.. hehe even tho the official Cisco course for BCMSN doesn't mention ATM/LANE as being part of the course strange see below link) http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/serv/mkt/cert/career/bcmsn_ds.htm jim terry wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

RE: CCNP Switching 2.0
I guess the answer to your question is IT DEPENDS. I did not get a lot of multicasting question but some people did. The only advise I have for you is that you should study and know it because all the questions about Multicasting were easy questions and could give you additional marks. So don't sweat its relatively easy.

Re: CCNP Switching 2.0
The switching exam does have multicasting in it, when I took the test it basically went right along with the material covered in the Cisco Press BCMSN book (which I highly recommend as a major study resource for this exam.) I used the Cisco Press book as my only study source and passed it with a pretty high score, as long as you make sure you understand everything covered the test really wasn't too bad. Hope this helps.
