This blog was originally started to better help me understand the technologies in the CCIE R&S blueprint; after completing the R&S track I have decided to transition the blog into a technology blog.

CCIE #29033

This blog will continue to include questions, troubleshooting scenarios, and references to existing and new technologies but will grow to include a variety of different platforms and technologies. Currently I have created over 185 questions/answers in regards to the CCIE R&S track!! Note: answers are in the comment field or within "Read More" section.

Update

I have been very busy in the last few months with holidays, starting a new job, and studying for the CCIE that I have neglected my blog. ( I know that these sound like excuses...... )  Starting next week I will be trying to add a new blog post daily. If you have any ideas or topics that you would like to see send me an email or post a comment. I will work on creating the content and publishing it ASAP.

Question 185

What command would you have to use in order to see "debug ip mpacket"? Remember that multicast packets are fast switched and they will not be sent to the processor, the only exception is when using the "ip igmp join-group" command.
