Ch 3
Commands to manually configure an Etherchannel?
- Int fa0/14
- channel-group 1 mode on
- int fa0/15
- channel-group 1 mode on
What two other terms are synonymous with Etherchannel?
Port-channel and Channel-group
What two protocols does Cisco support to negotiate an Etherchannel?
- Cisco-proprietary Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP)
- IEEE standard Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)
What is the IEEE standard for LACP?
802.3ad
What are the two key words that enable PAgP?
desireable and auto
What are the two key words that enable LACP?
active and passive
show’ cmds to view an Etherchannel?
- show etherchannel 2 port-channel
- show etherchannel 2 summary
- show spanning-tree vlan 3
What is the command to move from STP to RSTP?
spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst
What is the command to implement 802.1d STP?
spanning-tree mode pvst
What is 802.3ad?
The IEEE standard for LACP
What mode of spanning-tree is the default?
pvst or 802.1d
What ‘show’ cmds will display the version of spanning-tree
- show spanning-tree vlan 10
- show spanning-tree vlan 10 bridge
What ‘show’ cmd displays alternate and backup interfaces whether RSTP is running or not?
show spanning-tree vlan 10
What is the only ways to determine which version of spanning-tree is running?
- You must look at the ‘spanning-tree mode’ command in the configuration.
- show spanning-tree vlan 10 bridge
What does ‘spanning-tree mode mst’ do?
Creates multiple RSTP instances but does NOT require one instance per VLAN.
What is the RSTP term for Blocking?
Discarding
What will ‘show’ cmds display for a port that is Discarding?
Blocking
What ‘show’ cmd will display the STP state of an interface?
show spanning-tree vlan 10 interface gig0/1 state
What two interface conditions tells RSTP what type of port it is?
duplex and portfast
How would RSTP identify and shared port?
half-duplex without portfast configured
