Computers A and B are on the same VLAN and are separated by two switches as shown. Computer A sends a frame to Computer B.
Which of the following best describes the composition of the frame as it travels from A to B?
Computer A appends a VLAN ID to the frame. It travels from switch to switch and arrives at Computer B, where it removes the VLAN ID.
Computer A sends a normal frame. The first switch forwards the frame to the second switch, where the VLAN ID is appended to the frame and forwarded to Computer B.
Computer A sends a normal frame. The first switch appends a VLAN ID to the frame. The second switch removes the VLAN ID before forwarding it to Computer B.
Computer A sends a normal frame. The first switch appends a VLAN ID to the frame. The VLAN ID remains on the frame through the second switch, up to Computer B.
Computer A sends a normal frame. The first switch appends a VLAN ID to the frame. The second switch removes the VLAN ID before forwarding it to Computer B.
What primary advantages does the 802.1Q Trunking Protocol have over ISL? (Select two.)
Which of the following is true concerning the default VLAN and VLAN trunking? (Select two.)
You are implementing a static VLAN trunking configuration on a Catalyst 3550 switch. You would like to keep the switch from tagging packets from VLAN 3 as they leave FastEthernet 0/1. Which command(s) would you use?
Switch(config)#int fa 0/1
Switch(config-if)#switchport mode trunk
Switch(config-if)#switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
Switch(config)#int fa 0/1
Switch(config-if)#switchport mode trunk
Switch(config-if)#switchport trunk native vlan 3
Switch(config)#int fa 0/1
Switch(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch(config-if)#switchport trunk native vlan 3
Switch(config)#int fa 0/1
Switch(config-if)#switchport mode trunk
Switch(config)#int fa 0/1
Switch(config-if)#switchport mode trunk
Switch(config-if)#switchport trunk native vlan 3
Which command disables the trunking configuration on a switch interface?
switchport mode access
You have implemented VLAN trunking on your network. You have two switches that are both configured to use dynamic auto mode. You discover that they are not trunking.
Which of the following trunking configuration options can be used to make these two switches trunk successfully? (Select two.)
iConfigure at least one of the switches to use dynamic desirable mode.
-Manually configure trunking on at least one of the switches.
Review the image to answer the following question.
You would like to manually configure the trunk status on each port for switch A so that the appropriate type is selected and so that a trunking protocol is not used. Match the command on the left with the correct port on switch A. (Commands on the left can be used once, more than once, or not at all.)
Interface Fa0/1
Interface Fa0/2
Interface Fa0/3
Interface Fa0/4
switchport mode dynamic desirable
switchport mode trunk
switchport mode access
Interface Fa0/1=switchport mode access
Interface Fa0/2=switchport mode access
Interface Fa0/3=switchport mode trunk
Interface Fa0/4=switchport mode access
You have entered the following command to enable dynamic trunking configuration:
Switch(config-if)#switchport mode dynamic desirable
If the switch interface is connected to another switch, what will it attempt to do?
Negotiate a link using the desired trunking protocol.
You have two Cisco 2960 switches with 12 FastEthernet ports and 2 GigabitEthernet ports on each switch.
You connect Fa0/1 on SwitchA to Fa0/1 on SwitchB with a crossover cable. A partial configuration for both switches is shown below.
You notice that VLAN traffic for VLAN 2 is not being carried from SwitchA to SwitchB. What should you do?
-For Fa0/1 on SwitchA, set the switchport mode to dynamic desirable.
