If a Layer Two switch doesn’t have the capabilities to run IGMP Snooping, it will be able to run CGMP – Cisco Group Membership Protocol. CGMP allows the multicast router to work with the Layer Two switch to eliminate unnecessary multicast forwarding.

CGMP will be enabled on both the multicast router and the switch, but the router’s going to do all the work. The router will be sending Join and Leave messages to the switch as needed. PIM must be running on the router interface facing the switch before enabling CGMP, as you can see:

R1(config)#int e0

R1(config-if)#ip cgmp

WARNING: CGMP requires PIM enabled on interface

R1(config-if)#ip pim sparse

R1(config-if)#ip cgmp

When CGMP is first enabled on both the multicast router and switch, the router will send a CGMP Join message, informing the switch that a multicast router is now connected to it. This particular CGMP Join will contain a Group Destination Address (GDA) of 0000.0000.0000 and the MAC address of the sending interface. The GDA is used to identify the multicast group, so when this is set to all zeroes, the switch knows this is an introductory CGMP Join, letting the switch know that the multicast router is online.

The switch makes an entry in its MAC table that this router can be found off the port that the CGMP Join came in on. The router will send a CGMP Join to the switch every minute to serve as a keepalive.

A workstation connected to the switch on port 0/5 now wishes to join multicast group 225.1.1.1. The Join message is sent to the multicast router, but first it will pass through the switch. The switch will do what you’d expect it to do – read the source MAC address and make an entry for it in the MAC address table as being off port fast 0/5 if there’s not an entry already there. (Don’t forget that the MAC address table is also referred to as the CAM table or the bridging table.)

The router will then receive the Join request, and send a CGMP Join back to the switch. This CGMP Join will contain both the multicast group’s MAC address and the requesting host’s MAC address. Now the switch knows about the multicast group 225.1.1.1 and that a member of that group is found off port fast 0/5. In the future, when the switch receives frames destined for that multicast group, the switch will not flood the frame as it would an unknown multicast. Instead, the switch will forward a copy of the frame to each port that it knows leads to a member of the multicast group.

Two major benefits of CGMP are the explicit Join and Leave Group messages. In the next part of this BCMSN exam tutorial, we’ll take a look at the Leave Group messages.

When you are just about to begin to play cricket it is not always easy to know what you must get. If you go into a sports equipment shop and ask them what you require, you will in all probability end up coming out with a great quantity of kit that you don’t need. With this in mind, it is wise to figure out what you may need ahead of you going shopping. That way you are very much more likely to buy what you demand, as opposed to what the store owner recommends you need. Find great offer on cricket equipment at Sportswear-Equipment.com.

Below, is essentially an inclusive cricket equipment inventory, you don’t require to get everything on this list, as numerous clubs will provide you kit especially at youth level:

Cricket whites, cricket bats, balls, helmets, gloves, batting (wicket keeping) inner gloves, wicket keeping gloves, batting pads, wicket keeping pads, box, chest pad, arm guard, inner thigh pad, cricket boots (bowling boots; batting boots), box (groin guard), stumps and bails.

For the majority of sports meetings you will ever play you will need your own set of whites. Cricket whites contain white cricket trousers & a cricket shirt. It is important that you find a suitable set of cricket trousers and also a good white cricket shirt and jumper as it can rapidly turn cold if you are standing out on the field for a long time in particular if plan to play in England (the start and end of the season are the coldest).

If you can not rent gear from your club the other most crucial items of equipment are a cricket bat & box. A high-quality cricket bat is critical if you aim to score tons of runs & is a very special piece of cricket equipment, so spend a great deal of time choosing your bat, if possible you would be advised to go to a store & test drive one before you buy so you know how it feels to play with. (Once you know what you want you can often acquire bats on the Web significantly cheaper). You need a good box to protect your groin from the ball, as getting hit down below’ is tremendously painful, so investing in a good box before you start is a defiant must – you can not play cricket without one.

Writing engaging articles and energizing ad copy takes more than just typing out what you want to say. By correcting these major mistakes, your copy will soar to newfound heights. While there are many common mistakes made by copywriters, seven in particular are deadly.

Mistake One: Don’t take that tone with me!

Many writers fail to write to their intended audience by writing in a general or wrong tone. Either way is costly. It is important to identify and write to the intended audience. Review the following two statements to see how the same information differs based on the intended audience.

Audience One is comprised of computer neophytes.

Move your mouse pointer over to the START icon, which is located in the lower left area of your computer screen. Next, click your left mouse button one time. Your start menu should now be displayed.

Audience Two is comprised of knowledgeable computer users.

Open up your START menu.

Notice the stark contrast between the two examples. If we continued with the examples, “Audience Two” would be spoken to in more technical terms whereas “Audience One” would be spoken to in very simple terms with every action described in full detail.

Mistake Two: Welcome to the claims department.

Most non-fiction writing, especially ad copy, makes a claim of some sort. Hard to believe claims destroy credibility. The golden rule of claims: Always support your claims fully.

I can’t believe it!

When a claim sounds too good to be true, credibility is lost. Perhaps the ad copy is claiming that a person can lose up to 300 pounds in 30 days on a certain type of program. The more substantial the claim, the more support required. Still, if the claim is hard to believe, all the support in the world won’t help much.

4 out of 5 dentists agree.

A claim made must be supported. An article reporting that 4 out of 5 dentists agree about using a certain product must include the supporting evidence. Never expect people to take your word for it, because they won’t.

Mistake Three: So enough about you, what about me?

Have you ever visited a website or heard an ad that chimed in with “we here at [insert company name] believe…?” The majority of people will react by simply ignoring the copy all together. It is important to build up a rapport with the reader before talking about yourselfif possible. The reader must first be given a reason as to why he or she should care. This mistake is most common in ad copy. Focus on the reader first and foremost.

Mistake Four: Could you repeat that?

Repetitious wording occurs when a word is used that was previously written in close proximity. Try to keep sentences fresh and flowing with new words. This is a great reason to pick up a thesaurus and learn some word alternatives. In ad copy it is sometimes necessary to use a word more than once for effect. An example of this would be: Excellent service. Excellent selection. Excellent prices.

Don’t do this

I really like the quality of the shoes and the overall quality of the store. Store X is an all around high-quality establishment.

Notice the word “quality” was used three times quickly. These two sentences should be rewritten with the world quality being used only once.

Mistake Five: At this present time, the fact of the matter is, you are reading this article.

This mistake plagues us all because our normal speech is full of redundancies. Some redundancies are simply two words that say the same thing, while others are phrases that repeat something previously mentioned in the sentence. Fluffing up text does not make for good writing or reading. Let’s look at some examples.

“It is a true fact.”

Is there a false fact? Revised: “It is a fact.”

“I found a total of 927 websites with my name on them.”

Eliminate “total of”. Revised: “I found 927 websites with my name on them.”

“The future to come is full of surprises.”

The future is something to come, which is why it is called the future and not the present or past. Stating “future to come” is wordy and does nothing to enhance the reading experience. Revised: “The future is full of surprises.”

To find out more, visit your favorite search engine, and look for results under these terms:

• Pleonasm
• Redundant writing

Mistake Six: You’re its owner therefore it’s yours.

It is amazing how four simple words can become a virtual wrecking ball to the prose of so many. The four words are: its, it’s, your, and you’re

Its

This is possessive and has no apostrophe. Example: Put your hand on its mouth.

It’s

This version has the apostrophe and means “it is.” Example: It’s mine.

Your

Again, this is the possessive and has no apostrophe. Example: Your car is stalled.

You’re

With the apostrophe, it means “you are.” Example: You’re smiling at me.

Many writers make this mistake because it’s simple to do. Writing fast will increase the possibility of making this mistake, which is why rereading your copy many times is crucial.

Mistake Seven: I think I can. Well, maybe I can try.

It is important that the reader feels secure about the author, which is why writing in a passive voice will render the prose helpless. It is very easy to use passive writing without knowing it because everyday speech is filled with passivity. Recognizing passive writing and replacing it will make a tremendous difference in your copy.

Passive: The final exam was failed by over half of the students.

Active: Half of the students failed the exam.

Notice the difference between the two sentences. Overcoming this mistake takes practiceas does learning to write well.

Ad copy should be dripping in confidence. Word selection and order are extremely important. Using words like “try” should be omitted when possible.

Common Example: “We work to make our clients happy.”

Rewrite: “We have satisfied clients.” or “We will make you happy.”

In the “Common Example”, it implies that you might not be happy. The company will “work” to make you happy, but there is no guarantee they can. In the rewrite, the implication is removed by altering the text.

Crafting solid prose takes practice. By running this checklist against your copy and correcting mistakes, it will become more effective. Every printed word is priceless. A single word or sentence can cause decent copy to fail. Should you require a copywriter, visit my website.

About the Author

Jeremy Maddock is the owner of a quickly growing telecommunications industry news website.

Make no mistake. the most impressive looking and product-rich web site will fail to convert visitors into paying customers if they are unable to more quickly and easily find what they are looking for. There’s a lot of competition out there. Develop and design a web site that’s easy to understand and use, and you’ll attract more than your fair share of visitors – visitors that will return, and buy, again and again. Fail in this, and the only one’s smiling will be your competitors.

How do we accomplish this? By utilizing intuitive navigation techniques. Use them in the development and design of your web site; then sit back as hordes of satisfied customers return to your internet business on a regular basis. And you’ll find when marketing online, return business is your key to significant and effortless profits.

Ok, so what exactly is intuitive navigation – and how do we design it into our web site? I can tell you what it’s not. It is not flashy, creative designs that entertain and distinguish you from the other ‘dull’ web sites out there. Simply defined, intuitive navigation implements a familiar and consistent look and feel across all the design elements of your web site. These elements include;

Menu:

Your website menu – the table of contents if you will – that directs visitors throughout the various pages of your site should be consistent, and included on every page. Websites that contain a menu on the home page only or certain select pages on the web site (and I’ve seen far too many of these), force visitors to use the Back button (or click on the logo to return to the home page). The common result, visitors do more clicking and visitors get lost. And visitors who get lost… well, ‘get lost’.

And for Pete’s sake, keep your menu style and placement consistent from page to page. Again, fancy and different equals confusion. Confusion equals frustration. And frustration equals ‘no sale’.

Site map:

Another useful website element, and one that’s missing in many business web sites, the site map is a web page that contains a hierarchical, top-down, organized list of all the sections, or pages, on your website. It’s a road map through your web labyrinth, which can get you where you want to go more directly, that is, quicker (especially to access links). It can also make up for any design ’sins’ on your menu. And for many left brainers, like myself, it is sometimes the preferred route.

Subtitle index:

For those large pages on your web site, which require page scrolling, it is preferable to include subtitles in your copy, for readability. Repeating these subtitles at the top of your page, linked to the subtitle in the copy, makes it easier for visitors to access or return to those sections of the copy that most interest them.

Back to top link:

Again, for large pages on your web site, having ‘Back to top’ links, between subtitles, or at the very least the bottom of your page’s copy, allows visitors to return to the top of your web page with one click, without the need to scroll.

Text links:

Whether it’s a menu item or other link throughout your web site, the use of simple and efficient text links is the preferred navigation method in most instances.

Yes, there’s an overabundance of fancy and impressive buttons, graphics and rollovers available for navigating your web site. However, this is an area where it is mindful to employ the well-known K.I.S.S. method for keeping things simple. Text links are much faster loading than images. Now, for fast broadband internet access, the difference between text and image load may be negligible. However, there are still many potential customers out there still surfing on slow connections. For them, the difference can be significant. So, until we are all on the same connection page, you would do well to accommodate all visitors.

In addition, text navigation menus can contribute relevant text for the search engines, which image navigation bars cannot. And of course, text is often easier than an image for understanding the purpose of the link. Just remember – on the web, and for your internet business, it is always preferable to err on the side of efficiency over impressiveness.

Page footer menu:

Ok, we have our menu items at the top (or side) of all our web pages. So, why would we want to repeat them at the bottom of every page? Well, in addition to providing your visitors with just another, alternative, option for navigating your website, there are two instances when placing your menu on your page footer is more an essential, than a ‘nice to have’.

(1) If you insist on using graphics for your main menu items, the inclusion of a text menu on the page footer aids both reader viewability and understanding, and ensures that search engine spiders can see you.

(2) Placing your menu on a frame is an easy way to ensure that your menu items stay fixed and in sight, even as you’re scrolling through a long web page. However, although there are many advantages to using frames on your web site, there are disadvantages as well. Although more detail on the pros and cons is fodder for another article, let’s just say there are many web sites that prefer not to use frames. In such instances, scrolling down a long page will also scroll your menu items, sometimes out of sight. A page footer menu provides a convenient way to access these items without the necessity for scrolling back up the page.

Containing an abundance of particulars, a context-rich web site can be a dense, confusing and intimidating jungle of information for internet visitors. However, by using time-tested intuitive navigation techniques, you can turn potential chaos (and lost customers) into a smooth and pleasant ride across the web superhighway.

Want to buy a DAB Radio?

So what is this DAB radio? We have been hearing about DAB radios for some time now, but what are they and what does it all mean?

What is DAB?
DAB stands for Digital Audio Broadcasting and has been in development since 1981 initially by Institut fr Rundfunktechnik and from 1987 as part of a European research project (Eureka 147).

What does it do?
DAB radio is a digital form of the radio we all use. Just like the television systems are changing to digital TV the radio systems are also going digital, and just like the TV systems, in order to pick up the new digital radio you need a new receiver. DAB radio is NOT a satellite radio system it is terrestrial based and you have to be in the area of coverage to receive the signal.

What are the advantages of DAB?
The advantages are many but the one that will probably make the most impact is the very high quality of the sound. It has been said that the difference in quality with DAB compared to normal FM radio is like the difference when we changed from vinyl records to CD’s. But there are other advantages as well, because the same frequency is use throughout the country there is no need to retune as you move about the county. The same high quality is everywhere (assuming you do not move out of the signal area’s).

Coverage
The coverage in the UK is now quite extensive but before you consider buying a receiver I would recommend that you check the coverage in your area. The easiest way to do that is to go to the BBC’s DAB site (http://www.bbc.co.uk/digitalradio/) and enter your postcode, the site will then give you details of the coverage in your area. At the time of writing about 80% of the UK is covered and it should rise to 85% soon. BBC services are available to about 65% of the UK giving approximately 40 million people the ability to receive the service.

Easy of use
DAB receivers could not be easier to use, when they are switched on they scan the frequencies and then display on the screen a list of all the stations that can be picked up. This list is simple and in plain English, like BBC radio2, none of those complicated frequency numbers to remember. So all you do is select the station you want, that’s all.

Interference free
Because the signal is digital and has a large amount of redundant (extra) information there is no static or interference to the sound. This is because the receiver has a processor built into it that examines the signal and if there is a break in the information it can rebuild the missing information from the ‘extra’ information transmitted. This is known as FEC – forward error correction.

Text service
The signal can also carry text information and a number of the stations already carry text services, this can be information like the title and artist of the music playing or news headlines or maybe the summary of a play. There is also and Electronic Program Guide (EPG) available to give the program schedules.

Easy of recording
Again because the signal is digital the signal is easily recorded. The recording on most receivers is very easy with the ability to schedule programs to be recorded in advance, just like your video recorder.

Pay channels
In the future there could be pay channel services like the pay per view channels on the TV. These could cover major sports events or maybe a music show.

Equipment
You will need to purchase a DAB radio receiver to pick up the new digital radio stations, these are still more expensive than a conventional am/fm radios but they are about the same size and use a very similar antenna. Most DAB radio’s also will pick up FM signals as well.

Cost
The cost of the radios vary from as little as 50 pounds all the way up to over 200 pounds depending upon the features and quality of the receiver. Some are DAB only and others are DAB and FM. The size and quality of the screen is also a factor in the cost. Some of the more expensive ones have CD players incorporated and maybe alarm clock and sleep functions, they may also have a remote control.

You can see a large variety of different units at different costs at my favourite comparison site (http://www.wangled.co.uk) simple type DAB radio in the search box

Most people in this world would not be able to tell you what an MCSE certification is. Making it longer may confuse people even more; it stands for Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer. Just studying to take the test is a trial and the test itself can be difficult, not to mention expensive. It can give you a benefit that a lot of computer techs in the world don’t have: a certification from Microsoft and spiffy initials to put after your name. The test is comprehensive and challenging. It has four networking tests, one client operating system test, a design test and a test over an elective.

According to the Microsoft website, there are benefits that go along with an MCSE certification. These include: recognition by your peers in the computing industry of your knowledge and ability to function well with Microsoft products and technologies. You also receive access to information regarding products directly from Microsoft through a website created especially for those who pass the MCSE exam, the Microsoft Certified Professional member site. Just to show the world what you know, you also will receive a certificate, transcript and lapel pin to wear.

Those who successfully pass this rigorous test have been acknowledged by Microsoft as having the ability and know-how to analyze, design and implement business solutions using Microsoft Windows 2000 and the Microsoft Windows Server System. Implementation includes installing, setting up and troubleshooting networks.

Those who would benefit the most from this certification include: system engineers, technical support, systems and network analysts and technical consultants. Before you even begin thinking about the exam, Microsoft suggests that you have a few items under your belt. You should have at least one year’s experience creating and supporting a network operating system for environments that include: 200 to 26,000 users; 5 to 150 different physical locations; services and applications that are typically found in network environments, including web hosting, databases, messaging, firewalls, a dial-in server and desktop management; supporting connections to the network from individual offices or users from other locations and connecting these networks together.

As with any exam or test, there are ways to find help preparing to take it. If you do a search for MCSE Certification on the internet, you will find many courses that may help you prepare for the test. I am sure you can find all sorts of other information, from cheat sheets to condensed information, like Cliff Notes. Of course, all these places want money for their help and information, since they are trying to maintain a business. There are even boot camps out there that give you one on one attention and some of them even guarantee that you’ll be certified by the time it is all over.

Even though the MCSE Certification carries prestige with it, you will also have to have some experience to go along with it. Not many companies will hire a computer tech that only has a paper MCSE Certification and no prior experience. As with anything, it is a balancing act of experience vs. formal training.

GIVING Vs “SELLING”

Never lose sight of the importance of providing a “reason” to buy BEFORE you attempt to SELL anything to a client/prospect.

In the current business climate you have to GIVE first. The very first question from a buyer is…. what is the BENEFIT to ME? Why should I change from my present supplier?

GIVE in advance of asking a prospective client/customer to buy from you. Don’t even bring up your service or product BEFORE you have completed your investigative homework.

YOUR PROSPECT ASKS –

Does my company need your service? Do we need your product? Do you have the QUALITY that we expect (demand)? Can you match your competitors pricing? Discounts? Delivery? Is your customer service better than our current supplier? Why should I change?

Your prospect is saying, “what have you done for me lately?” What is your USP (Unique Selling Proposition)? Are you DIFFERENT from the rest of the pack? Give me your elevator speech. 30 seconds! What do you do? Give it to me straight to the point and quick.

ADVERTISERS ARE SHOUTING

Huge FULL-page ads fill our local newspapers. TV overwhelms us with the latest fashions. The car manufacturers are “shouting” their best deals. “Infomercials” are “selling” us everything from diamonds to bread-makers. Magazines are bulging with STUFF. Copywriters are telling us we can’t LIVE without it. Subtle persuasions are invading our psychic to motivate action.

INSTITUTIONAL ADVERTISING

After the pretty girls and cute guys, what’s next? From the school of mail order and Internet marketing an “Institutional” AD does not compute for us. In advertising “vernacular” (mine) it is known as “NO action” advertising.

Name recognition is the game. Accountability is the same. Just LOOK at me. Do nothing! NO suggestions are made for me to take action. By some of the more “astute” promoters it is called “awareness/image” marketing.

SALES ASSOCIATES

Too many “on the road” salespersons follow the same logic. You, as a business owner or manager, have a continuing imperative to educate. Train. Teach the basics. ASK for the order! When you have done your “homework” it is OK to ask for a response. A commitment to buy.

Many don’t ask for the order because you might be considered high pressure (pushy!). Once you have earned the ear of your audience (buyer) then it is up to you to “bring home the bacon”… get the order! One way or the other, you have to ASK. Lead to a conclusion.

Educate. Inform. Show and tell. Introduce your product through sampling. Try our product and compare it to the competition. Build your creditability with value-added service and NEW offerings in the future.

Remember AIDA? Get their Attention.
Create Interest. Cause Desire. ACTION!

MAIL-ORDER AND THE INTERNET

A little background…. I spent 4 years of my early career in the mail-order business. Long before Sharper Image and many others appeared on the scene. A good experience with some unusual turn of events.

Mail order and Internet marketing have much in common. Very similar tracking abilities regarding sales and sources. No guesswork allowed. Spend DOLLARS and we expect SALES. No in-between options for the mail order or Internet guru.

If an AD fails to pay for itself then you regroup and punt. Try another route to reach your goal. You test the headlines. The “body” copy of the letter. Name lists. Op-in lists. The by-word in mail order and Internet marketing is TEST, TEST and TEST some more.

You’ve heard the ‘link’ in Real-estate values. Location! Location! Location! If you are in the right place (selling) it can mean increased profit. Buying? You will pay a higher price because of the location.

Build your home in the “right” neighborhood. If not, then you may come up a few hundred grand short on “sale” day. Good advice to remember when you buy/build a new home.

Every industry seems to have a “connector” to success.

You or I will never understand the physic of the marketplace. Trying to find the “trigger” that will make your subscribers (customers) or prospects respond takes constant testing. Asking for the order in many different ways.

Action Tip: Good business owners GIVE first. You don’t have to shout when you have the goods. Each customer/prospect is different and needs to be understood. Test everything you can. Educating your customer/prospect is primary to your success. Keep an open mind. Ask questions. Learn and grow.
