The keyword hunt…

OK…  So what means what?

What keyword in a problem statement will tell me to use LLC (priority) or just the bandwidth command?

Auto RP vs BSR?

What keywords do you think tell you to do what?  There has to be millions!  I’d like to see what you all think.  Not just about QoS or Multicast of course…

Let’s hear it! :)

    Well, that’s a dammed good question. Where are the clues in the question??? DO what I did, ask the Procotor - after all tht’s what he is there for!!!

    I am begining to beleive if it works then either method will do……that’s the benefit of a human marking your lab!

    I know what you mean… But I dont want to ask the proctor, “Hey mate, do I BSR candidate or do I auto-rp?”

    QoS keyword guess:
    Congestion = bandwidth in MQC
    “Expedited forwarding” “make sure traffic xxx goes first” “this shit goes faster than that shit” = LLC/priority command

    etc etc

    But the Multicast ones will throw me I think… Static RP not so but anything that is dynamic such as BSR or auto-rp might confuse me a little. I am fine with configuring multicast, all you need to do is copy and paste form the Doc CD and still know nothing on the topic (well not much anyway, the Doc CD is kind on multicast in my opinion). It is just trying to extract what the thing is trying to ask really. Well I think I have made my point here.

    So… point number two… What do you all think that the keywords for different types of multicast would be?

    “Make sure the first available router becomes RP” = Anycast RP?
    “Let the client device decide the best RP” = Auto-RP?
    “Let the routers argue who becomes the RP” = BSR?
    “Go and throw the multicast crap away because noone even uses it” = Sensible answer
