Hi,
I'm currently studying for my CCNP but there's something bugging me about PAgP. Can anyone clarify if the differences between the silent and non-silent modes for PAgP.
As I understand it if the mode is auto or desirable there are 2 sub modes, silent and non-silent. If it is silent no packets are required from the far end for the port to be put into the port channel. If it is non-silent it will wait until it hears PAgP packets from the far end before it puts the port into the channel.
If that is the case what is the difference between auto silent and desirable silent as it appears both result in the port being added to the channel?
Cheers Andy
