Sim, To show the status of the ports you need to use the "show port" command. This can be issued on it'e own and will list all ports in the chassis; or with a module number i.e. "show po 2" to show all ports on that slot; or with a single port number "sh po 2/1". As far as I am aware Gigports o

Michael, Is this so?? If so then it is not full-duplex but half-duplex. So why then do cisco say this: The NM-4T serial network module has four synchronous serial interfaces. The network module supports a total full-duplex throughput of 8 megabits per second (Mbps), on this data sheet: http:

Mike, I have three final comments then I think enough has been said. 1. Ethernet has always been a half duplex standard until recent times, FDX operation is always quoted therefore to make the distinction from the default. 2. Serial lines, however, since the late seventies-early eighties have b

The load balacing of the VLANs is recommended best practice, however the RSM does not have wire speed access to the backplane, it has two I/O "ports" each one 200Mbps FDX(from memory). By default all odd VLANs are assigned to the first port and all even VLANs to the second. So if you have all eve

An IP m'cast address is 32 bits long (as with any IP address), the first for bits are 0x1110 leaving 28 bits. (Still with me :)) Any m'cast ethernet borne frame has a 48 bit MAC (as do all ethernet frames). A 25 bit prefix is assigned leaving 23 bits. As 28 won't go into 23 there must be some d

If you want to load share the VLANs and provide resilience using HSRP both RSMs need to have an interface configured in every VLAN. Also I would not use VLAN 1 for data as this VLAN cannot be removed from a trunk and so propergates everywhere. RB. Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/f

The sending host uses its own address and mask to decide whether the destination host is on the local subnet or not. If not then the packet is forwarded to the default gateway (unless the host is running dynamic routing). When the packet reaches the router, the router checks the destination IP ag
