The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

I have interited a setup which I only have a very limited bit of info about. I have a cisco switch 2950 (from show version). It has a vlan configured on it callled DataVLAN with ID 10. When I do a show interface status i get:

Fa0/3                        connected    10         a-full  a-100 10/100BaseTX

Fa0/19                       connected    10         a-full  a-100 10/100BaseTX
Fa0/20                       connected    10         a-full  a-100 10/100BaseTX
Fa0/21                       connected    10         a-full  a-100 10/100BaseTX
Fa0/22                       connected    10         a-full  a-100 10/100BaseTX

I'm told that when the switch was previously configured the telephone guys attepted to configure priority to voice traffic using VLANS but due to the age of the switch this was not possilbe. I've been told that instead they gave prioity to a certain port with the phone system was plugged into - this must be "Fa0/17    Connection to Alcatel" i guess.

There only appears to be one vlan DataVLAN and all ports are assigned to it so it which is strange. However can anyone tell me they might have configured a port to have priority over the others?

Apologies for being vague if you need more info please let me know but be clear on the command it should use as I never use cisco equipment.

Thanks
