CCIE Data Center Lab Preparation :: Notable Documentation CD Locations

It never fails … every class I teach I am asked the question “Where do I find topic X in the documentation?”  Usually at the top of the lists are the topics that generally have longer configurations surrounding them that are sometimes hard to remember. Topics like FHRP isolation when using OTV, iSCSI gateway configuration on the MDS, Fibre channel zoning, and so on.  So I wanted to compile a quick list of the top 3 that I am always being asked about.

The most popular topic is first-hop redundancy protocol isolation when using OTV.  This can be a tricky one, as it contains MAC ACLs referencing the VMAC (virtual MACs) for the protocol you are trying to filter, access-list identifying the FHRPs multicast hello address, route-maps, route-redistribution filters, and VACLs.  I will have to admit, it is one that I definitely had trouble remembering!  The easiest way to find it is by locating the white paper outlining its use! Follow me!

Our famous starting point will always be here, we will call it “root”:
