		<description><![CDATA[I had an interesting conversation the other day regarding OSPF. I don&#8217;t want to give too much away, so here we go. This is the topology: Assume interfaces have correct bandwidth statements and no cost commands have been added. R1 and R2 are redistributing the 192.168.1.0/24 prefix as E2 with a cost of 100.

No idea if this is definitely happening, or when they will announce it if so, but I&#8217;m definitely relieved if it&#8217;s true. I was dreading the OEQs. Let&#8217;s all hope it&#8217;s true! Obviously it will be one less precaution to stop&#8230;]]></description>

Second, what am about to reveal is not part of some secret NDA. The new TSHOOT exam requires you to isolate issues on a defined network topology.&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I frequently see people asking if 3550s are sufficient for CCIE lab preparation, or if 3560s are a must. Of the top of my head I know that QoS differs between the 3550 and 3560, and also that the 3550s do not support Private VLANs. Beyond that, I can&#8217;t say much. Today I stumbled across&#8230;]]></description>

I had the Best Path criteria memorized for the exam and I&#8217;ve since forgotten some of the criteria and the exact order. Google pointed me to these&#8230;]]></description>

I figured I&#8217;d post it here so I&#8217;ll never lose it, hopefully some of you guys will find it useful as well. Check out his post for a good&#8230;]]></description>
