A
  • Reduce CPU and broadcasts
  • Reduce Security Risks
  • Improve Security of sensitive data
  • Flexible design by grouping users by department
  • Troubleshoot quicker by reducing failure domain
  • Reduce STP workload by keeping one VLAN per switch.

25
What is the command to configure a voice VLAN on a switchport?
switchport voice vlan 12
26
What management protocol must be running on a switchport to enable it to be used by a Cisco phone?
CDP, which is enabled by default.
27
In the dot1q header why does the 12-bit VLAN\_ID field only support 4094 VLANs?
There are two reserved values: 0 and 4095.
28
What are the fields in an 802.1q tag?
* TPI (Tag Protocol Identifier) always 0x8100 2 bytes * TCI (Tag Control Information) made up of: PCP (Priority Code Point) 3 bits * DEI (Drop Eligibility Indicator) 1 bit * VID (VLAN Identifier) 12-bits
29
What are the 5 different states a port transitions through?
1. Disabled 2. Blocking 3. Listening 4. Learning 5. Forwarding
30
What is the Forward Delay?
The time it takes for a port to transition from Listening to Learning and from Learning to Forwarding. The default for Forward Delay is 15 seconds.
31
In what states do port populate the MAC address table?
Learning and Forwarding only
32
What causes STP convergence?
Topology Changes. Adding a switch or a link goes down.
33
What happens during Convergence?
* All data stops until convergence is complete. * Ports transition to forwarding or blocking state. * With 802.1d STP this process takes 50 seconds.
34
What is the difference between Port Cost and Path Cost?
* Port Cost is based on the speed of the link. * Path cost is the sum of all the Port Costs all the way to the root.
35
What are all ports called on the Root Bridge?
Designated Ports (DP)
36
On a segment that doesn't connect to the Root Bridge how is the Designated Port chosen?
The switch with the lowest (best) Bridge ID will be chosen to have the Designated Port for that segment. By default, the other port is placed in Blocking state.
37
What is the advantage of PVST over Common STP?
Per VLAN Spanning Tree allows for multiple root bridges. (different root for each VLAN is possible).
38
What are the 5 types of Spanning Tree Protocols?
1. Common Spanning Tree 802.1d (single root bridge) 2. PVST+ Cisco's Default version 3. 802.1w IEEE version of Rapid Spanning Tree (single root bridge) 4. 802.1s MSTP (basically instances of STP running on top of one STP 5. Rapid PVST+
39
In Rapid PVST+ how is the DP chosen?
1. Lowest accumulated Path Cost to the Root 2. If Path Cost is a tie then use Bridge ID 3. If a tie after Path Cost, Bridge ID, then interface with Lowest Number (Fa0/1 wins over FA0/2)
40
In PVST+ what impact does the VLAN number have on the Bridge Priority?
Add VLAN # to Priority. 32,768 on VLAN 10 would be 32,778
41
What is the command to enable Rapid PVST+?
spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst
42
What are the two port-channel negotiating protocols?
PAgP and LACP
43
What are the two possible Interface Modes for LACP?
Active or Passive
44
What are the two Interface Modes for PAgP?
Auto or Desirable
45
What is the difference between PAgP and LACP?
PAgP is Cisco Proprietary, LACP is IEEE Non-proprietary
46
In a Port-channel does the Port-channel inherit its configuration from the Interfaces or do the Interfaces inherit their configurations from the Port-channel?
The Interfaces inherit their configurations from the port-channel
47
What command will show you the STP root bridge for a VLAN?
show spanning-tree summary
48
What command will you use to see information about a specific port channel interface?
show etherchannel port-channel
49
What command would you use on a switch to make it the root bridge for VLAN 3?
spanning-tree vlan 3 root primary
50
You need to find the VLANs for which your switch is the root bridge. What two commands can you use?
* 'show spanning-tree summary' * 'show spanning-tree' and then follow the root ports using CDP
51
You want to create a port-channel. What command do you use? Assume PAgP.
* interface port-channel 1 * exit * interface range gig0/12-13 * channel-group 1 mode desirable *
52
You want to create a port-channel. What commands do you use to create the port-channel? Assume LACP.
* interface port-channel 1 * exit * interface range gig0/12-13 * channel-group 1 mode active
53
What are the commands to create a L3 port-channel on a switch using PAgP?
* interface port-channel 1 * no switchport * ip address 172.21.7.42 255.255.255.0 * exit * interface range gig0/12-13 * no switchport * channel-group 1 mode desirable
54
When the command 'spanning-tree vlan 3 root primary' is issued what priority does it give that switch?
If current root base priority is higher than 24,576 it will set the base priority to 24,576 + VLAN. If the current root bridge is less than 24,576 it will set the new priority to the highest multiple of 4096 that still results in that switch becoming the new root.
55
When the command 'spanning-tree vlan 3 root secondary' is issued what priority does it give that switch?
28,672 + 3
56
How many bits is the sys-id-ext field in a BPDU?
12
57
In RSTP what is an Alternate Port?
A port waiting to become a Root Port
58
In RSTP what is a Backup Port?
A port waiting to become a Designated Port
59
Which VLANs cannot be used?
1002 - 1005
60
What command configures an switchport to use 802.1q encapsulation for trunking?
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
61
What command configures a switchport to use ISL trunking?
switchport trunk encapsulation isl
62
What command is used to tell a switchport to negotiate the type of trunking?
switchport trunk encapsulation negotiate
63
What command tells an interface to begin trying to negotiate trunking?
switchport mode dynamic desirable
