Q

For configuring EtherChannel on switch SW3, the administrator is starting the configuration by shutting down a range of interfaces, as shown below. Why is the administrator doing so?

SW3(config)# interface range Ethernet0/2 - 3
SW3(config-if-range)# shutdown

The interfaces must be shut down when they are bundled into EtherChannel.

The interfaces must be shut down to change their speed and duplex.

The shutdown interfaces do not create activity on the link, so incomplete configuration will not produce undesired results.

The interfaces that are not part of the EtherChannel must be shut down.

A

The shutdown interfaces do not create activity on the link, so incomplete configuration will not produce undesired results.

Q

How does 802.1Q incorporate VLAN information into a frame?

It adds a 4-byte header and a 26-byte tag to the frame header.

It adds a 4-byte tag to the frame header.

It reroutes the frame through the VLAN interface, causing a different destination address.

It reroutes the frame through the VLAN interface, causing a different source address.

Q

What happens to a port that belongs to VLAN 5 after VLAN 5 is accidentally deleted?

The port goes to the error-disabled state and is not operational.

The port becomes inactive and will not be functional until the missing VLAN 5 is created.

The port remains operational.

The port is shut down.

A

The port becomes inactive and will not be functional until the missing VLAN 5 is created.

17
Q

Regarding VLANs, which statement is true?

Each VLAN is usually associated with only one IPv4 subnet.

It is recommended to have multiple IPv4 subnets on the same VLAN.

In network design, can you include physical loops between switches?

Yes, to provide redundancy.

No, you should never include physical loops.

21
Q

Which option correctly describes the “on” mode regarding EtherChannel?

The EtherChannel will form only if the other side is set to on.

The EtherChannel will form if the other side is set to active.

If the other side is set to negotiate parameters through PAgP, EtherChannel will not form, because PAgP is a proprietary protocol.

If the other side is set to negotiate parameters through LACP, EtherChannel will form, because negotiations with standard protocol will be successful.

The Etherchannel will be successful if the other side is set to passive.

A

The EtherChannel will form only if the other side is set to on.

21
Q

An administrator is troubleshooting an EtherChannel link. Which two commands will provide EtherChannel bundled link information and status of each bundled link? (Choose two.)

Submit

show etherchannel port-channel

show etherchannel summary
