D. Call for Input to the IXP Switch Wishlist v3.1 - Mike Hughes (LINX)
Mike Hughes informed the group that there have been a few different types of switch (for example higher density switches) since the IXP Switch Wishlist came out. A new iteration of the document is required. The group were asked to review what is on the list at the moment and submit any ideas to Mike.
one thing which would be nice is the ability to make switch ports stop babbling out periodic traffic of all forms, regardless of whether the switch port is a tagged or untagged port. Most noisy protocols can be turned off on a per port basis, but not all. Right now, we have an issue with Cisco VTP which likes to send VTP packets on all trunking ports if you use VTP on your switch. You can turn this behaviour off in VTPv3 which is available in CatOS 8.1 and will be included in the SXG image train for C6500/7600's. Nick
