3.1.1 Introducing VLANs
Assessment Item:

Which two statements describe the benefits of VLANs? (Choose two.)

VLANs improve network performance by regulating flow control and window size.
VLANs enable switches to route packets to remote networks via VLAN ID filtering.
VLANs reduce network cost by reducing the number of physical ports required on switches.
VLANs improve network security by isolating users that have access to sensitive data and applications.
VLANs divide a network into smaller logical networks, resulting in lower susceptibility to broadcast storms.

Refer to the exhibit. SW1 and SW2 are new switches being installed in the topology shown in the exhibit. Interface

Fa0/1 on switch SW1 has been configured with trunk mode “on”. Which statement is true about forming a trunk link

3.2.3 Trunking Modes
Assessment Item:

What is the effect of the switchport mode dynamic desirable command?

DTP cannot negotiate the trunk since the native VLAN is not the default VLAN.
The remote connected interface cannot negotiate a trunk unless it is also configured as dynamic desirable.
The connected devices dynamically determine when data for multiple VLANs must be transmitted across the link and

bring the trunk up as needed.
A trunk link is formed if the remote connected device is configured with the switchport mode dynamic auto or

switchport mode trunk commands.

Refer to the exhibit. The exhibited configurations do not allow the switches to form a trunk. What is the most

likely cause of this problem?

Cisco switches only support the ISL trunking protocol.
The trunk cannot be negotiated with both ends set to auto.
By default, Switch1 will only allow VLAN 5 across the link.
A common native VLAN should have been configured on the switches.

3.3.4 Configure a Trunk

How should the network administrator reconfigure switch port Fa0/1?

Disable DTP.
Delete any VLANs currently being trunked through port Fa0/1.
Administratively shut down and re-enable the interface to return it to default.
Enter the switchport mode access command in interface configuration mode.

the IP addresses of the VLAN in the 10.1.50.0/24 subnet range. Computer A can communicate with computer B, but not

with computer C or computer D. What is the most likely cause of this problem?

There is a native VLAN mismatch.
The link between Switch1 and Switch2 is up but not trunked.
The router is not properly configured for inter-VLAN routing.
VLAN 50 is not allowed to entering the trunk between Switch1 and Switch2.

3.2.1 VLAN Trunks
Assessment Item:

What is a valid consideration for planning VLAN traffic across multiple switches?

Configuring interswitch connections as trunks will cause all hosts on any VLAN to receive broadcasts from the

other VLANs.
A trunk connection is affected by broadcast storms on any particular VLAN that is carried by that trunk.
Restricting trunk connections between switches to a single VLAN will improve efficiency of port usage.
Carrying all required VLANs on a single access port will ensure proper traffic separation.

3.4.2 A Common Problem with VLAN Configurations
Assessment Item:

 

Refer to the exhibit. Company HR is adding PC4, a specialized application workstation, to a new company office. The

company will add a switch, S3, connected via a trunk link to S2, another switch. For security reasons the new PC

will reside in the HR VLAN, VLAN 10. The new office will use the 172.17.11.0/24 subnet. After installation, the

existing PCs are unable to access shares on PC4. What is the likely cause?

The switch to switch connection must be configured as an access port to permit access to VLAN 10 on S3.
The new PC is on a different subnet so Fa0/2 on S3 must be configured as a trunk port.
PC4 must use the same subnet as the other HR VLAN PCs.
A single VLAN cannot span multiple switches.
