In the interests of actually completing a post, this is significantly shorter than I previously intended... Ho-well, needs must.
I have touched on my overall dislike of humanity once before, males in particular.
Though my overall opinion of the afore-mentioned remainds un-changed on the whole (I for one should know - to my ever-lasting shame, I am one), recent events involving an air-powered projectile launcher and one of my feline companions has renewed my fervent hatred something fierce.
<sarcasm>
I would just like to say thank-you, thank-you very much, to the anonymous being responsible for perferating my feline's chest with a steel Airsoft pellet. Your selfless act has restored my faith in humanity.
</sarcasm>
That aside, life goes on otherwise I guess. 6 Weeks away from work, and I've never been more confused now than I can ever remember being. A particular phrase comes to mind;
"How many roads, must a man walk down?"
I'd best cut my rambling there. Reading back, I'm not making a lot of sense.

Quite some time ago now, I had someone ask me how a VLAN access port would behave when it receives tagged frames. I was unsure how to answer outside of assumption that tagged frames would be dropped.
Googling found that, in theory: "Tagged frames are allowed on an access port, provided the tag matches the access VLAN. If it is for the wrong VLAN, then it should drop the frame.". Clearly some research was necessary to find out if this is actually the case - at least as far as a Catalyst switch is concerned.
Sounds reasonable, and I was left curious enough to do a quick test in GNS.
For now, results on Adv Enterprises, 12.4(21):
Tagged frames are allowed on an access port, provided the tag matches the access VLAN. False - Frames are dropped.
If it is for the wrong VLAN, then it should drop the frame. True
Granted my test was using some NM-16ESW's on a pair of 3725's, but oh-well. If I'm bored enough, and in posession of some new enough Catalysts, I may repeat the test. I really should just order some 2950's or 3550's off ebay... they're all of 80 bucks. :S
Also, it are catchy song... though the video is somewhat disturbing.
