IPv4 Multicast Layer 3 Switching Overview
The Policy Feature Card (PFC) provides Layer 3 switching for IP multicast flows using the hardware replication table and hardware Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF), which uses the forwarding information base (FIB) and the adjacency table on the PFC. In systems with Distributed Forwarding Cards (DFCs), IP multicast flows are Layer 3 switched locally using Multicast Distributed Hardware Switching (MDHS). MDHS uses local hardware CEF and replication tables on each DFC to perform La..

The VLAN Trunking Protocol developed by Cisco operates as a Layer 2 protocol for Catalyst products. When transmitting VTP messages to other Catalysts in a network, a Catalyst encapsulates the VTP message in a trunking protocol frame, such as ISL or 802.1Q. Figure 12-5 shows the generic encapsulation for VTP within an ISL frame. The ISL encapsulation starts with the header information detailed in Chapter 8, "Trunking Technologies and Applications." The VTP header varies depend..
Data Structures of IP Routing Protocols
As traffic is routed through a network, the routers encountered along the way from the source to the destination need consistency in how they route traffic. For example, if one router selected the best path based on hop count, and another router selected the best path based on a link’s bandwidth, a routing loop could conceivably occur. Fortunately, having a common routing protocol configured on all routers within a topology helps ensure consistency in routing decisions. T..
Use the ntp authentication command to authenticate NTP traffic between associations. To configure an NTP enabled router to require authentication when other devices connect to it, use the following commands: Router1#configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router1(config)#ntp authentication-key 2 md5 oreilly Router1(config)#ntp authenticate Router1(config)#ntp trusted-key 2 Router1(config)#end Router1# Then you must configure th..
