root bridge election -all good
load balancing with port cost -all good
load balancing with port priority - all good
convergence timers - all good (cleared the cob webs)
portfast - all good
portfast default - all good
uplinkfast - all good
backbone fast - all good
bpdu guard - all good
bpdu guard default - all good
bpdu filter - all good - (just need to remember this combined with portfast, the port does not err disable, allows traffic ignores bpdu)
bpdu filter default - all good (just need to remember this combined with portfast, the port does not err disable, allows traffic ignores bpdu)
root guard - all good

Good work. Keep it up"Check both the destination and return path when a route fails." "Switches create a network. Routers connect networks." -

Another good one, spent a lot of time just being sure, verifying, making sure it was firmly in there.
1.33 - 1.39
MST - root bridge
MST - load balancing with port cost
MST - load balancing with port priority
MST - rapid spanning tree (Portfast)
Protected ports (Must admit completely forgot this command, on the question i was like, hmm use a VACL, ok then use a private VLAN with isolation) must remember switchport protected
storm control
Mac address table with static entries and aging mac address-table static xxxx,xxxx,xxxx vlan x (drop Vs Interface)
To many show commands to list

OK, so far has been a loooooong day.
Today covered
1.40 - 50
SPAN - all good
RSPAN - all good, (don't forget the ingress command on the destination port)
Voice vlan - all good
IP Phone, trust and COS - all good (will be playing more tonight, just to sink it in)
Smartport Macros - all good
Flex links - (forced or bandwidth) i used bandwidth book wanted forced, (same result, and 20 preempt)
Fallback bridging - Rusty, going to be playing more tonight
private vlans - all good
PPP - all good
PPP authentication - Rusty, (spend more time tonight, fire ACS server up)
PPpoE - all good
I have three topis i want to spend the rest of the night with labbing.
Tomorrow is reading books, white papers and some videos covering the previous posts bridging and switching topics.
Then onto frame relay.

Today's journey started on the new section Frame Relay.
Covered section's 2.1 - 2.9
inverse ARP - all good
static mapping - all good
point to point sub interfaces - all good
multipoint sub interfaces & ARP - all good
multipoint sub interfaces & static mappings - all good
hub & spoke static mappings - all good
hub & spoke inverse ARP - all good
hub and spoke point to point sub interfaces - all good (disable ARP for unwanted DLCI'S, assign to a sub interface with no IP address)(disable sending ARP requests on known DLCI's with the no frame-relay inverse-arp IP <DLCI >
disabling inverse ARP - all good
On testing, remember if a host reply's from any broadcast/multicast ping there is an extra broadcast statement that is not needed.
Nothing to tricky on frame relay, so far. The hardest part is it is used so little.
Tomorrow should see the end of it.

frame relay broadcast queue - all good
frame relay TCP & RTP header compression - all good (i did use another way, this just enabled it for all sessions, not the requirement
ppp over frame relay - all good
bridging over frame relay - all good
frame relay switching - all good (glad i read the Cisco press frame relay book and still have it for reference)
routing to multipoint broadcast interfaces - all good
routing to MBMA interfaces - all good
it was weird after hammering on frame relay changing to IP routing, took the heard 20 mins or so to change over.
Anyways all good
