Network Switching notes

- a 3750 can act as a layer3 switch by adding the "ip routing" command.

- It can automatically route between locally created vlans because it considers them as connected interfaces (given that the SVIs are created).

- on a device, there are 3 types of traffic: control, management, end user.

- Control traffic such as CDP, DTP, PAgP goes through vlan1 between Cisco switches, even if you clear it from trunks.

- By default, native vlan traffic is untagged. But there's a Cisco command that tells the switch to tag all vlans.

- by default, native vlan = vlan1. If we set the native vlan to vlan100, then vlan100 frames will be untagged on trunks, and vlan1 frames will be tagged.

- SMI: Standard Multilayer Image

- EMI: Enhanced Multilayer Image

- if switch is acting L2, then we should set a Default Gateway on it to make the management vlan reachable remote ; if it is acting L3, it will have routes instead.

- switch and Management vlan

- the management IP address must be reachable from remote

- best practice: use a same subnet to manage all network devices

- on L2 SW: only one SVI is up at a time

Who is the author?

I was listening to Love Systems Interview Series that talk about identity. Soon after, I was questioning myself. Is this the career that I designed? Is she the type of girls I wanted to date? Is this what I took the pain for? why am I constantly reacting to emotions? why have I become emotionally fragile, despite the fact that it's all a game?

Today is the time to take back the pencil, and to write MY own story as I want it to be. Not as people expect it to be, not as they want it to be.

Hit a threshold

Often times I feel like I want to quit PUA and get back to my previous Wass 1.0 version. But, when I see other folks in the community struggling like me, I get motivated once again.
Today, I found the following website

field report #6

Went to Sidibou. Warmed up with a mixed set in the restaurant. I was not expecting much. Just getting in talkative state and forcing smiles. Warmed up with a couple of male students with a situational opener. Although they looked fashionable, I was far cooler than them, in my formal suit:) Got one rejection. I think it's because I didn't smile while opening. It felt strong inside but it adds to my confidence level. Opened a 1 set. Not interested, ejected. I forgot FTC in one set and got the "it depends" answer.
4 sets in 40mn, during lunch time. I still have to work on slowing the pace of my voice (hint: Mystery). If I do it consciously often times, it'll sink in and become unconscious. Need to work eye contact too.

Progress Checkpoint

- did the Pickup101 30-day challenge to embrace approach anxiety
- reached level 8 of BradP Social Freedom program
- learned basic structure and techniques of PU
- improved my lifestyle by going out more often with or without company
- read Brad's fashion Bible, The Game, Xuma's Inner Game, Love Systems' body language, Sinn's Day Game, Roger Love Vocal Power
- joined a fitness program, 3 times a week
- dated a couple of girls

I still haven't reached my goals.

Goals of the month:
- get out every day in the field: get more rejections and feedback
- start printing and reading ICOMM study book + mental rehearsal
- improve breathing pattern consciously
- be conscious about my voice and my focus
- sleep less

Auto QoS configuration

First, let's see if QoS is enabled on the switch:


QoS is disabled. We should enable it on global configuration level:


if we want to display QoS settings for an interface, we do a show mls qos interface command:

At this stage we still did not define trust boundaries. That's why Trust State and Trust Mode say "not trusted". And we did not specify whether we'll trust a device or not.
To define trust boundary with auto-qos, we either trust all CoS values coming on the switch interface or we trust CoS values only if an ip phone is connected to the switch port.
With auto qos voip trust, we tell the switch to trust CoS on each packet coming on the switch interface:

If we want to further limit trust boundary, we can tell the switch to trust CoS values only if a Cisco ip phone is detected on the port:

Finally, on a 3550 switch, show auto qos and show auto qos interface give the same output:
