fyi: The archives are working again. For those of you who don't know
where they are, go to www.groupstudy.com then look for "archives" in the
left column.
Why use the archives?
- don't want to feel stupid asking what you think is a simple question?
it's probably in the archive already
- you won't get flamed by 50 people that just answered the same question
two weeks earlier
- you can find out what other people are studying by looking at the past
e-mails (this is a great study aid actually)
- learn new things or find things you've forgotten. I had recalled that
there was a good reason to use IPXWAN instead of ipx on the interface but
I couldn't recall the specifics, I just remembered something about 6
ticks. I spent 30 minutes on CCO trying find it, no luck. Found it in
three minutes in the archives. For those of you who don't know why this
is important, if you just configure ipx on a T1 and a 64k link, both will
have a value of 6 ticks. Using ipxwan will render the actual delay of the
two links and a better path selection can be made (in addition to ipxwan
having lower overhead on the circuit).
So look in the archives, there's a wealth of information in there that is
quickly available.
