What is the advantage of setting VTP mode to transparent?

I have a Cat 6509 and eighteen 3524 and/or 3548's. Obviously I want my 6509 to be in VTP server mode. But is there any advantage/disadvantage to having the 3500's in client or transparent. I would think client, but is transparent use less resources, both internal to the switch, and , external, i.e., network resources. I've seen some CCIE's insist that the 3500's must be in transparent mode and configure the VLAN info on them manually. What is preferred?

Configuring VTP in transparent mode requires manual configuration, a VTP-transparent switch does not advertise VLAN information to other switches and will ignore VTP updates from VTP clients and servers.
VTP propagates information about the VLAN configuration throughout the switched network. A Catalyst 6000 family switch can operate in any one of these three VTP modes:
Server—VTP servers advertise their VLAN configuration to other switches in the same VTP domain and synchronize their VLAN configuration with other switches based on advertisements received over trunk links. VTP server is the default mode.
Client—VTP clients are similar to VTP servers, except that you cannot create, change, or delete VLANs on a VTP client.
Transparent—VTP transparent switches do not participate in VTP. A VTP transparent switch does not advertise its VLAN configuration and does not synchronize its VLAN configuration based on received advertisements.

    I think he means to set up the main extreme as the main router or "main base station", and then use the express to "extend" the network.

  • What is the best Compressor setting for best quality video playback on an iBook g4?

    I know the iBook and G4's in general are very outdated today, but I need to ask anyways. I have some video projects in 720p and 1080p in which I have down converted to 480p and also exported to MPEG-2 for DVD (personal wedding videos and videos made for my clients using Final Cut Studio). Anything encoded at most resolutions using h264 won't play on my iBook. Even 480p.
    I have about 20 hours of mixed video content that I need it in a format that is suitable for an iPhone 4 and an iBook 12" with a 1.2GHz G4, 1.25GB RAM and I added a 250 WD 5400 IDE hard disk (running 10.5.8 and 10.4.11 for Classic Mode). I know the iBook doesn't seem like the best tool for modern video playback, but I need to figure out which setting will play best with iPhone 4 and iBook so I don't need to make 2 local copies of each video for each device.
    The iBook plays best with the original DVD output MPEG-2 file and playing back in QT Pro or VLC... but I already have 180 GB's of MPEG-2 files now and my little HD is almost full. I don't have enough room to convert all the iPhone 4 counterparts. If I use Compressor 3.5.3, what is the optimal setting for iBook and iPhone .m4v or .mp4 files that can play on both devices? So far 720x400-480 widescreen videos @ 29fps works great on my iPhone, Apple TV 2, and other computers but seems to murder my poor iBook if encoded with high profile (and still choppy on simple profiles). 640x480 (adding black matte bars to my videos) plays fine in MPEG-2 but drops frames or goes to black screen if I convert it to mp4 (and looks bad on the iPhone 4 because of the matte). But if I convert on any of the simple profiles, it looks terrible on my iPhone 4 and a blocky on the iBook.
    This is the problem leading me to having 2 copies of each video and eating my hard disk space. What is the best video setting for both playback on the iBook and iPhone 4? Can the iBook playback H264 at all in decent resolutionsat all? I don't really want to have a 480p .m4v collection for the iPhone 4 and a MPEG-2 RAW collection just to play the same videos on the iBook.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Update: The iBook can play any 480p video and higher if I encode them with DivX and in AVI format. But of course this is not compatible with my iPhone 4. At least I can shrink my library now and get away from the full MPEG-2s. I don't get why I can't use Apple's h264 though. There has to be a setting I am missing. The sample Apple h264 videos from the days of Tiger worked flawlessly on my iBook when it was new so the CPU must be capable of decoding it. I really can't understand this.
    Also, since I made my videos in English for my family, I had to create soft subtitles for my wife's Chinese family, and I can't get players like QT with perian or MPlayerX to sync them properly to an AVI encoded with DivX, they only sync well with the iPhone 4 m4v/mp4 formatted files I made. This is a real pickle.
    So now I may need three or four copies of each video, LOL. I need to hardcode the subtitles if I want to use AVI to playback on older machines, and keep the mp4 file for the iDevices too, while keeping higher quality h264 videos for my American relatives...
    If h264 is compatible with my iBook, what is the proper encoding settings? Must I dramatically lower the settings or frame rate? I can settle on 2 copies of each video that way. One iBook/G4/eMac compatible video that syncs correctly with my srt soft subs, and another version that works well with my iPhone 4 and iPad.
    All in all, I will end up with more than 3 or 4 version of each video. On my late G5 dual core I have the full 720-1080p uncompressed master files. On my i5 iMac I have the h264 compressed versions for distribution, and lower versions for my iDevices. Now I need to keep either full MPEG-2 files for the iBook to play, or convert to older formats like DivX AVI for our family's legacy machines. I am running out of hard disk space quick now, LOL.
    Is there an easier way?

  • What is the advantage of using IB to create XIBs/Class Objects over coding?

    Hi all,
    I hoping someone can provide me some pros and cons as to when I should use IB to create XIBs and/or class objects as opposed to directly coding them.
    For example, if I choose Apple's Template for creating a Navigation Based Application (cocoa touch), the project creates two NIB files - MainMenu and RootViewController.
    However looking at one of demo apps SimpleDrillDown, it does not have a RootViewController XIB and instead creates it via code.
    Another example from the same two apps is that the template generates a "Navigation Controller" class object in the Mainmenu.xib. SimpleDrillDown does not bother with this in the XIB, but uses code to generate the controller:
    - (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
    // Create the navigation and view controllers
    RootViewController *rootViewController = [[RootViewController alloc] init];
    UINavigationController *aNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootViewController];
    self.navigationController = aNavigationController;
    [aNavigationController release];
    [rootViewController release];
    // Configure and show the window
    [window addSubview:[navigationController view]];
    [window makeKeyAndVisible];
    as opposed to the template which only needs this:
    - (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
    // Configure and show the window
    // Navigation Controller is defined in MainWindow.xib
    [window addSubview:[navigationController view]];
    [window makeKeyAndVisible];
    So what are the advantages of each approach. Why does apple suggest one approach and yet all its demos use another.
    Any thoughts, answers gratefully received.
    TIA, Michael.

    You can do whatever you're comfortable with, but most of the best Cocoa programmers--the ones on the Mac, I mean--recommend putting everything you can into Interface Builder.
    It's a little like the difference between writing a program to do a bunch of financial calculations and using a spreadsheet. Yeah, the program can do everything the spreadsheet can--and more besides--but you'll find it far easier to create, use and modify the spreadsheet.
    Interface Builder takes away a lot of completely meaningless choices ("What order should I create the objects in? How should I name the variables? How should I create their frames? What order should I set the attributes in?"), leaving you with an interface optimized for creating and arranging objects, and allowing your code to focus on what you really do need to think about--your application's logic.
    (By the way--part of the reason Apple's demos don't all use Interface Builder is that the very first SDK releases didn't have it. Back then, you had to create all your views programatically. Believe me, I have no wish to go back to setting autoresize masks manually. Now get off my lawn, whippersnapper.)

  • What is the advantages of using Flexconnect groups

    what is the advantages of using Flexconnect groups in WLC?
    Reg,
    Ezra.

    Pls refer this document for more detail about these features
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Mobility/emob73dg/emob73/ch7_HREA.html#wp1091114
    FlexConnect is one mode an AP can operate, typically deployed in Branch setup where you do not have a controller at branch site. Those AP can register to a controller at your HQ or main site. So traffic will terminate at your branch switch instead of tunnel back to HQ-WLC.
    If you want roaming within your branch FlexConnect AP then you have to put those AP into a FlexConnect Group. Then only key information shared among those AP to facilitate fast roaming.
    Pls do not forget to rate our responses if you find them useful.

  • What is the advantage of an iCloud mail account?

    I recently updated to iOS 5 on my 64GB iPad 2 +3G. I signed up for iCloud using the same Apple ID I have been using all along.
    I was also able to create a new iCloud mail account using @me.com.  What is the advantage of having this new email account?
    I kind of understand the function of iCloud. It enables me to access the same content via all my iOS devices.  If I have a photo in my iPad 2, for example, iCloud could push that same photo to my iPhone if I had one.  (It is not much use to me now as I have no other devices besides my iPad 2. I guess I could use the computer at the library and access stuff at iCloud.com.)
    The two email accounts I already have are already accessible using other devices.
    I can access the same Yahoo account using my iPad 2, an iPhone, or a computer at the local library. So, why do I really need this iCloud account?
    I have seen postings from others who have had prior Apple IDs, @me.com accounts, and something called MobileMe. My head spins when reading those posts.
    I am new to the Apple world, so luckily I don't have those problems concerning the use of previously established stuff.
    I used the same Apple ID I already had to set up my iCloud, but I used a slightly different variation of that email address to set up the iCloud mail account.
    Was that a mistake? I am now wondering if I should have kept it all the same. It tells you you cannot change the @me.com address once it is established anyway.
    Also, the iPad is considered superior to other tablets because of the wealth of apps available (140,000). Isn't that a little hyped?
    There seem to be a lot of duplicative apps that are not too useful. For example, there are tons of calculator, alarm clock, and reminder apps in the app store.
    Thanks for any insights you can provide.

    "What is the advantage of having this new email account?"
    It is simply an extra email if you wish to use it. You don't have to.
    "Also, the iPad is considered superior to other tablets because of the wealth of apps available (140,000). Isn't that a little hyped?"
    No. It is actually +600,000 apps.
    The 140,000 is iPad specific apps. You can also run iPhone apps and universal apps just fine.
    Sure there are lots of duplicates and a bunch of apps are lame but there are definitely plenty of very good quality apps.

  • What is the advantage in Maintaing the master data if it can be directly ..

    Hi,
    When looking for possible values in an object, I see that it has 20 possible values that can be selected while in BEx. But when I go to the object itself under the InfoObject tree(in rsa1), with a hope to maintain master data, I do not find "Maintain Master" in the context menu of the object.
    1. where could the possible values that I saw in the report be coming from?
    2. I understand it is possible that the object was filled as data was being loaded in some data target and that may explain why no master data was being maintained but it had values.
    If that is the case, then, what is the advantage in Maintaing the master data (i.e. directly maintaing the master if it can be directly maintain through loaded files)?
    Thanks

    Thanks,
    On 1:
    so you are saying that the SID table gets populated during the transactional data load.
    In the change mode of the object, I see
    SID Table    /BI0/<u><b>S</b></u>xxxxxxx.
    a)
    Is this what you were referring to as the <u><b>S</b></u> table? How do I see the values in this SID talbe.
    and can it be modified?
    b)
    Also, how come that the other object without "Maintain Master data" in context menu and the one with this option both have the
    SID Table    /BI0/S........
    c)
    Other than the difference I see in their context menu what should be the difference?
    2.
    You mentioned that the "System just creates a SID <u>for the incoming value</u>. "
    a)
    Where in the system do I see these system generated SIDs?
    You noted that "But loading master data assures the masterdata <u>attributes</u> and <u>texts</u>, which are not generated while loading transactional data except for the SID"
    b) If this is so important, is there a way to prevent data loads without master data
    i.e. to force the maintenance of master data?
    Also, isn't it possible to load the attributes of an infoobject while load data? You seem o be suggesting otherwise.
    Thanks

  • What are the advantages and disadvantages of suppressed and unsuppressed content in indesign layer option?

    what are the advantages and disadvantages of suppressed and unsuppressed content in indesign layer option?

    I occasionally use layers set to suppress output for holding text that differs from the text in the visible part of a document that I need for variables or TOC entries sometimes, or for notes or guides I want in the file but I don't want printed. You might also want to suppress a layer with some sort of overlay, like the die-lines for a die-cut piece, when you export a PDF for screen viewing.
    I'm sure you can come up with other reasons for having content on a page in the layout, but not in the final output.

  • What's the advantage of MainStage 2 over Logic 9?

    What's the advantage of MainStage 2 over Logic 9? Is MS 2 lower latency or quicker to switch 'presets'. I'm wondering what the absolute lowest latency is with a fast new mac running only Amp Designer & a few other Logic plugins, and the quickest switching time/dropout between 'presets' would be?
    If you have any idea, pray tell! :o)
    Thanks

    I don't think there's any particular computer processing advantage of one over the other; the main goal of Mainstage is to provide an interface for Logic's functionality that's useful for live performance (easier to see, easier to manipulate real-time control, easier to set up for an onstage performance with hardware instruments, easier to switch in a live context between instruments or patches, etc.).
    If you've used Ableton Live at all, or read about it, in some ways Mainstage is more comparable to Ableton; however, they're still very different. Ableton is much more heavily loop-based, and as someone knowledgeable has said, is almost a kind of instrument unto itself. Mainstage, in my opinion, is more of an interface reorganization of what Logic offers -- an excellent one at that, but with different goals from Ableton.

  • 8 bits vs 32 bits?  What are the advantages?

    Hi, sorry about his basic question, but, what are the advantages of working in 32 bit mode? Is a broader, deeper color range available?
    Apparently some tools only work in 8 bit mode -- so is 8 bit still the typical work environment?
    Thanks

    This a huge, complicated and confusing subject which cannot be explained in a few lines here:
    Trying to take your questions one by one:
    32-bit per channel and HDR: This is a procedure where you can combine a number of digital photographs which were taken with differing exposures for the highlights and for the shadows and combine them into a single image in order to retain a wider dynamic range. (The results that I have seen from the use of this technique have mostly been somewhat bizarre and perfectly hideous!).
    >For instance, when someone saves their 16-bit ProPhoto RGB image ( a superwide gamut space ), then converts to 8-bit Adobe RGB, and then converts to SWOP CMYK, the additional gamut found in the ProPhoto RGB will be clipped or reduced down to the Adobe RGB gamut.
    We need to break that down a bit:
    >Saves their 16-bit (per channel) ProPhoto RGB image ( a superwide gamut space ):
    Correct.
    >Then re-opens [or duplicates], the Saved 16-bit (per channel) ProPhoto RGB image and converts to 8-bit (per channel) Adobe RGB:
    That produces an RGB file which has been "clipped" to fit the smaller AdobeRGB space but it is still a 16-bit (per channel) file.
    >and then converts to SWOP CMYK:
    Now you have CONVERTED your RGB colors to generate printing plates that will produce as close a replica as you can get to your Soft-preview of your (current) AdobeRGB image
    when printed on a Press which EXACTLY matches the conditions dictated by the CMYK Profile that you used.
    But you still have a 16-bit per Channel file UNTIL you change the Image mode to 8 Bits.
    >if you retain the 16-bit ProPhoto RGB and go straight to SWOP CMYK, the color will be clipped to fit inside the SWOP space.
    Not exactly: Your RGB image will be mapped to individual C, M, and Y Plates, and a Black plate will be generated (using the attributes of your specified CMYK Profile concerning GCR and Total Ink) in order to give you the best reproduction on Press (when real INK hits PAPER!) of your original RGB image.
    But do read more on this subject because it is supremely important that you understand it fully.
    I highly recommend Dan Margulis' "Professional Photoshop" for gaining a better understanding of this subject.

  • So what are the advantages with Intel?

    What are the advantages/disadvantages with these new Intel processors? Sheesh, I just bought a new laptop and now its outdated lol. Looks like I will try to seel this sucker, and buy the new ones when everything seems to stop updating at Apple...

    Basic Advantages... Faster speeds, lower heat. This makes any portable computer very happy.
    Basic Disadvantages... software compatibility problems? Native PowerPC applications now run in a sort of emulation mode. Users may need to migrate to software which runs natively on Intel Macs, or has Universal Binaries available. Could be an additional cost to the user.
    and buy the new ones when everything seems to stop updating at Apple...
    Stops updating?! If you wait for that, you'll never make a purchase. Technology changes very quickly, and it's nearly impossible to have the latest model for any decent length of time before it is updated.
    Keep in mind... when machines get updated, that does NOT mean the previous model is obsolete.
    I'm sure your current computer is still just as good as the day you bought it. No one is forcing you to upgrade.
    If your machine still suits your needs, then stay with it. I'm sure I'll get another 2-3 years of solid happy use from my G4 Powerbook.

  • What are the advantages of compressor and it it even necessary

    what are the advantages of compressor and it it even necessary?

    Necessary for some and not for others – probably a large majority – who can by with the presets avalaible in FCX.
    The users who need Compressor are those who want to control the parameters of the encodes to get the best possible trade-off between file size and quality. Or those who want to do things like standards conversions, complex frame speed changes, better re-scaling capabilities, de-interlacing, re-interlacing, output formats beyond which are available in FCX, chapter markers for DVD and Blu-Ray authoring, batch conversions for multiple purposes through droplets, access to clusters for faster rendering.

  • What are the advantage of using a passive monitoring technique ?

    What are the advantage of using a passive monitoring technique

    Hi Plawansai,
    I saw your question that is still unanswered.
    I believe an advantage of using a passive monitoring technique is that it won't interfer with live traffic, as it does not inject traffic into the network or modify the traffic that is already on the network.
    One drawback anyway, is that post-processing time can take a large amount of time with passive monitoring!
    A combination of the two monitoring methods seems to be the route to go.
