Yes this port is an alternate port. This means you will be having inbound BPDU's. If you want to check where the BPDU's are coming from you can do a packet capture on the port filtering for: ether host 01:80:c2:00:00:00 and let it run for 30 seconds so you can gather all BPDU's. The bridge ID of the incoming BPDU should give you a clue from what the device the frame is coming from. ... View more

I generally agree that this is a best practice. However, with tuned basic rates, the overhead of some more SSIDs is typically tolerable if functionality can be improved. ... View more

To pass the 500-220 exam, focus on understanding key concepts from the study guide rather than memorizing every word. Utilize Cisco 500-220 free practice questions like Study4Exam to identify gaps in knowledge. Explore official Cisco resources, forums, and exam-specific communities for extra material. Practice extensively in your live environment, emphasizing troubleshooting and real-world scenarios. Analyze your past attempts to target weak areas. Stay confident—your preparation will pay off! With focused preparation and determination, you can succeed on your final attempt! @Jackijj    ... View more

For all those topics and anything else RF related I highly recommend CWNP's training. I started with the CWT, now called the CWTS, and then studied for and passed the CWNA, CWDP, CWDP, and CWISA all in the last year. It has made a significant difference in my career, and I enjoyed every second while studying for it. I'm hoping to become a CWNE within the next year or two. If you have any questions about it, feel free to message me. ... View more

I think we are all waiting for the native tunnel to be used for monitoring as well 🙂 Then things will get better ... right ? 🙂 I mean the command is kinda already there - if anyone has tried and been to impatient with waiting for the switch to reset when adding it do a network using the "cloud native" IOS-XE versions. test platform software config mode managed <- starts the conversion to "meraki mode" with the new software. But : test platform software config mode ? - tells you that there are options for "monitored" and I seem to remember the last one was called "catalyst" , Im guessing that last one is what Meraki supports sends to the switch in order to revert it back to "catalyst persona". ...

I disagree that clients on the same SSID will all see the same BC/MC traffic, regardless of the VLAN they’re assigned to. That’s broken. If I assign a client to a particular VLAN they should see link local multicast from only that VLAN.   I decided to test iPSK as a substitute for group-policy assigned VLANs applied directly to clients. This feature works correctly. A client connecting with the PSK for VLAN 105 gets traffic from only VLAN 105. A client connecting with the PSK for VLAN 100 gets traffic only from VLAN 100. There’s no leakage of BC/MC traffic when using iPSK. Only when using client-specific group-policy assigned VLAN tags.   I thought the multicast to unicast conversion feature might be contributing to this, but it didn’t change the behavior. The MR44 is still leaking link-local multicast across VLANs to clients with VLAN tags assigned via group policy.   To confirm I didn’t have something wonky going on that I wasn’t aware of I created a completely new group policy that assigned VLAN 999. VLAN 999 doesn’t exist in my network, anywhere. It’s not trunked on any ports, and there are no devices in that VLAN. Theoretically a client assigned to VLAN 999 using a group policy shouldn’t see any traffic beyond what the client itself generates. In reality though the client still saw all the link local multicast traffic generated in the default VLAN assigned to the SSID.   This feature is broken, and it’s especially bad from an IPv6 perspective given how much of the protocol is based on link-local multicast and ICMPv6. Leaking that beyond VLAN boundaries breaks a lot of things. ... View more
