Downstream switches inherit timers from the root (of each VLAN)

- BPDUgurad blocks incoming BPDUs.
- BPDUfilter blocks outgoing BPDUs.
bpdufilter defaultandbpduguard defaultwork in conjunction withportfast default.spanning-tree guard loopis similar to UDLD, but users STP BPDU keepalive.

All switches in the L2 transit path should know about the RSPAN remote-vlan, and the interconnections should be trunk. Remember to remove pruning for RSPAN VLAN from trunks.
IPphone tags voice traffic with CoS 5.
interface f0/1 switchport priority extended cos 1 ! show mls qos interface f0/1
switchport voice vlan dot1p instructs the IP-phone to apply VLAN0 and CoS 5, so both Voice & Data share the same VLAN.
switchport voice vlan automatically applies portfast.
mls qos trust device cisco–ipphone means only trust CoS if received from IP-phone which is detected by CDP.

Fallback Bridging is the concept of bridging non-routed protocols between SVIs or native L3 router interfaces on switches. Similar to CBR and IRB on routers.

- PVLAN requires Transparent VTP mode.
- Whenever a task asks us to optimize a switch for memory or routing, it means “sdm prefer routing“
- Macros do not accept “interface range”!
- When filtering traffic using mac-access-list remember to allow Spanning-tree and ARP stuff!

Remember to add static arp for hosts when filtering ARP in LAB exam. (show arp)
