The command is accepted and the respective VLAN is added to vlan.dat
The command is rejected
The command is accepted and you must configure the VLAn manually
The port turns amber
Refer to the exhibit, switch port FastEthernet 0/24 on ALSwitch1 will be used to create an IEEE 802.1Q compliant trunk to another switch. Based on the output shown, what is the reason the trunk does not form, even though proper cabling has been attached?
VLANs have not been created yet
An IP address must be configured for the port
The port is currently configured for access mode
The correct encapsulation type has not been configured
The no shutdown command has not been entered for the port
The network administrator has discovered that the power supply has failed on a switch in the company LAN and that the switch has stopped functioning. It has been replaced with a Cisco Catalyst 2950 series switch. What must be done to ensure that this new switch becomes the root bridge on the network?
Lower the bridge priority number
Change the MAC address of the switch
Increase the VTP revision number for the domain
Lower the root path cost on the switch ports
Assign the switch an IP address with the lowest value
Which statement about VLAN operation on Cisco catalyst switches is true?
When a packet is received from an 802.1Q trunk, the VLAN id can be determined from the source MAC address table.
Unknown unicast frames are retransmitted only to the ports that belong to the same VLAN
Ports between switches should be configured in access mode so that VLANs can span across the ports
Broadcast and multicast frames are retransmitted to ports that are configured on different VLAN
What are three valid reasons to assign ports to VLANs on a switch?
To make VTP easier to implement
To isolate broadcast traffic
To increase the size of the collision domain
To allow more devices to connect to the network
To logically group hosts according to function
To increase network security
Which protocol provides a method of sharing VLAN configuration information between two Cisco switches?
VTP
802.1Q
STP
RSTP
Refer to the exhibit; the 3 catalyst 2950 switches have been configured for VTP. Trunking is properly configured and operational on all three switches. The show vlan command issued on SwitchC displays only the default VLANs. Based on the output from the show vtp status commands shown in the exhibit, why is this true?
Only the default VLANs are configured on SwitchA
SwitchA does not have a VTP domain name configured
VTP pruning needs to be enabled on SwitchA
SwitchC needs to have the VTP domain name configured
SwitchB is in transparent mode
Which command will show the MAC addresses of stations connected to switch ports?
Show mac-address
Show arp
Show table
Show switchport
What is a valid reason for a switch to deny port access to new devices when port security is enabled?
The denied MAC addresses have already been learned or configured on another secure interface in the same VLAN
The denied MAC addresses are statically configured on the port
The minimum MAC threshold has been reached
The absolute aging times for the denied MAC addresses have expired
A switch is configured with all ports assigned to VLAN 2. In addition, all ports are configured as full-duplex FastEthernet. What is the effect of adding switch ports to a new VLAN on this switch?
The additions will create more collisions domains
An additional broadcast domain will be created
More bandwidth will be required that was needed previously
IP address utilization will be more efficient
The switches shown in the diagram, Core and Core2, are both Catalyst 2950s. The addressing scheme for each company site is as follows:
Router Ethernet port – 1st usable address Core – 2nd usable address Core2 – 3rd usable address For this network, which of the following commands must be configured on Core2 to allow it to be managed remotely from any subnet on the network? (choose three)
Based on the network shown in the graphics which option contains both the potential and the protocol or setting that should be used to prevent the problem?
Routing loops, hold down times
Switching loops, split horizon
Routing loops, split horizon
Switching loops, VTP
Routing loops, STP
Switching loops, STP
Which two of these statements regarding RSTP are correct? (choose two)
What are two reasons a network administrator would use CDP? (choose two)
Which values is used by Spanning Tree Protocol to elect a root bridge?
Bridge priority
IP address
IOS version
Amount of RAM
Speed of the links
On the basis of the IEEE 802.1w standard, which two switch ports can forward traffic?
Refer to the exhibit, given the output shown from this Cisco Catalyst 2950, what is the most likely reason that interface FastEthernet 0/10 is no the root port for VLAN 2?
This switch has more than one interface connected to the root network segment in VLAN 2
This switch is running RSTP while the elected designated switch is running 802.1D STP
This switch interface has a higher path cost to the root bridge that another in the topology
This switch has a lower bridge IP for VLAN 2 than the elected designated switch
Refer to the exhibit, which statement is true?
The Fa0/11 role confirms that SwitchA is the root bridge for VLAN 20
VLAN 20 is running the Per VLAN STP
The MAC address of the root bridge is 0017.596d.1580
SwitchA is not the root bridge, because not all of the interface roles are designated
