Q

What is route caching?

A

The RP listens to a flow’s 1st packet for the dest. The SE listens to the packet and dest and puts a shortcut in the MSL cache. Netflow switching, route once, switch many

Q

What is topology-based caching?

50
Q

What are 2 ways to configure VLAN and VTP information?

A

Global config (vlan, vtp mode, and vtp domain) and VLAN DB mode commands. Global config is preferred because VLAN DB mode commands are legacy
