HI All, The place where I'm working at right now has several vlans and trunking. However, from the beginning, no one turned on the VTP Domain. So whenever I put a new switch into the existing LAN, and setting up a vlan and trunking, I have to do it manually. So I'm thinking I'm enabling the VTP

I concur with Jonathan. I have worked in the past for minicomputer and mainframe engineering departments. The prototypes were built from sketches and uncontrolled documentation. You could change anything you wanted at any time. Once the engineers got the desired funtionality working, they docu

These terms derive from industries predating the Computer Revolution. The full terms are more self-explanatory: Prototype Development and Pilot Production. In the Pilot Production phase the majority of bugs have been removed and a small Production run results in enough units to attempt a last rea

Hi all, In my real world, a prototype is a lab presentation and testing of what we want to realise, and a pilot is a second step in which we setup a small but real implementation of what we want to realise, whith real users working on as a test... This in facts exactly what Cisco recomend : buils

It sounds like I may have had it backwards in my message, then?? Bottom line: the terms are not used precisely in the real world. We need to find out if the questioner just wants to know how to use the terms for the DCN test, which is my guess, and then help him with the Cisco DCN viewpoint. T

This varies with ones opinion, but a prototype is where a project is being built from concept to something that actually works, but may not have all of the finishing touches. Basically proof of concept. A pilot is where a client is willing to try your product in a test phase, before deciding to

In the real world, there's no precise definition for either of those terms. For the DCN (CCDA) test Cisco makes you distinguish the two. I think the way Cisco uses the terms, a prototype tests just one portion of a new network whereas a pilot is an attempt to roll out the complete new network

A pilot is used when you want to prove a minimal amount of functionality. Let say, for security reasons, you want to implement SSH on your routers. You don't need to create a large scale network to test functionality for SSH. All you would do is take one router for each type, plus maybe take int
