EtherChannel Negotiation for Dummies

Posted in Uncategorized on March 12, 2010 by Gerren

Similar to my post on DTP negotiation, this is just my way of remembering the nuances of EtherChannel negotiation…

Mode On = No negotiation takes place

PAgP (Cisco proprietary)
Desirable: send PAgP packets
Auto: listen for PAgP packets
D+D = EtherChannel
D+A = EtherChannel
A+A = No EtherChannel

LACP (Industry standard)
Active: send LACP packets
Passive: listen for LACP packets
A+A = EtherChannel
A+P = EtherChannel
P+P = No EtherChannel

Carry on…nothing else much to see here.

Packet Racket

Posted in Uncategorized on March 9, 2010 by Gerren

Also…new not-necessarily-Cisco related blog started at http://packetracket.wordpress.com I wanted to keep my CCIE studying/progress separate from non-Cisco stuff. It’s mostly tech related, but may contain the occasional personal rant/observation/etc.

Cheers!

The Day of Reckoning Approaches

Posted in General Announcements on March 9, 2010 by Gerren

Ok, so I’ve slacked off long enough. Munchkin isn’t sleeping well, but I can’t use that as an excuse to put off restarting studying forever.

I’ve given myself until my birthday (in a few weeks) to not think about it…and then, it is time! Time to get back in the packet groove. I’ve got my tentative study plan laid out here for others to use if they’d like. Its not final yet, and there are some holes to be filled, but at least I have a defined set of tasks to accomplish.

So, in the words of Eminem: “Let’s get down to business, I don’t got no time to play around, what is this, must be a circus
in town, let’s shut the shit down on these clowns, can I get a witness, {hell yeah}”

Ah hem…sorry ‘ bout that. My social filter malfunctioned.

NOTE: After going back into the INE online classroom, I’ve found that the ATC COD has changed for the v4 exam. The spreadsheet referenced above may contain some of the older ATC COD videos, but I am updating them as I go through them.
