Cisco Query
Hi All,
I have few queries related to Cisco
- Is core switch and principal switch one and the same ? Can we make core switch as the principal or it should be different switches only ?
- On what scenarios Trunking is needed for a F port ?
- What are the types of port rate modes and what does each type mean ?
