InternetworkExpert Vol. 2, Lab 3 Notes

Switching

  • beware of pruning issues when some switches are transparent and some aren’t.  If not otherwise specified, make all switches transparent if one is.

IP Telephony

  • macro apply cisco-phone $access_vlan 5 $voice_vlan 4 sets most things properly
  • To change the CoS applied to traffic coming from the PC connected to a phone: switchport priority extend cos 1
  • Don’t forget to enable mls qos globally or nothing will work

PPP

  • as a general rule, use no peer neighbor-route on all PPP interfaces to avoid random /32 routes showing up in IGPs and redistributions.  They’re only needed if you have different subnets at each end of the link.

IGP’s — RIP

  • use the distribute-list gateway option along with a prefix-list to specify the routers from which we will accept routes.
  • don’t forget the prefix option (e.g. distribute-list prefix FOO not distribute-list FOO when filtering routing updates
  • remember, though, that a distribute-list doesn’t have to use a prefix-list.  It also works just fine with a regular ACL (useful for permit any or deny any).
