carry user traffic?
A. 1000
B. 1001
C. 1024
D. 2048
E. 4095
F. 4096 - Answer-B. 1001
VTP versions 1 and 2 supports normal VLAN numbers 1-1001.
What does the command vlan dot1q tag native accomplish when configured under
global configuration?
A. All frames within the native VLAN are tagged, except when the native VLAN is set to
1.
B. It allows control traffic to pass using the non-default VLAN.
C. It removes the 4-byte dot1q tag from every frame that traverses the trunk
interface(s).
D. Control traffic is tagged - Answer-D. Control traffic is tagged.
The "vlan dot1q tag native" will tag all untagged frames, including control traffic, with the
defined native VLAN.
A network engineer has just deployed a non-Cisco device in the network and wants to
get information about it from a connected device. Cisco Discovery Protocol is not
supported so the open standard protocol must be configured. Which protocol does the
network engineer configure on both devices to accomplish this?
A. IRDP
B. LLDP
C. NDP
D. LLTD - Answer-B. LLDP
,Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a vendor-neutral link layer protocol in the
internet protocol suite used by network devices for advertising their identity, capabilities,
and neighbors on and IEEE802 local area network. Principally wired Ethernet. LLDP
performs functions similar to several proprietary protocols, such as the CDP
A manager tells the network engineer to permit only certain VLANs across a specific
trunk interface. Which option can be configured to accomplish this?
A. allowed VLAN list
B. VTP pruning
C. VACL
D. L2P tunneling - Answer-A. allowed VLAN list
When a trunk link is established, all of the configured VLANs are allowed to send and
receive traffic across the link. VLANs 1 - 1005 are allowed on each trunk by default.
However, VLAN traffic can be removed from the allowed list. This keeps traffic from the
VLANs from passing over the trunk link. Note: the allowed Vlan list on both the ends of
the trunk link should be the same.
For client server failover purposes, the application server team has indicated that they
must not have the standard 30 second delay before their switchport enters a forwarding
state. For their disaster recovery feature to operate successfully, they require the
switchport to enter a forwarding state immediately. Which spanning-tree feature
satisfied this requirement?
A. Rapid Spanning-tree
B. Spanning-Tree Timers
C.Spanning-Tree FastPort
D. Spanning-Tree PortFast
E. Spanning-Tree Fast Forward - Answer-D. Spanning-tree PortFast
In order to allow immediate transition of the port into forwarding state, enable the STP
portfast feature. PortFast immediately transitions the port into STP forwarding mode
upon linkup. The port still participates in STP. So if the port is to be a part of the loop,
the port eventually transitions into STP blocking mode.
Which command does a network engineer use to verify the spanning-tree status for
VLAN 10?
A. switch# show spanning-tree vlan 10
B. switch# show spanning-tree bridge
C. switch# show spanning-tree brief
D. switch# show spanning-tree summary
E. switch# show spanning-tree vlan 10 brief - Answer-A. switch# show spanning-tree
vlan 10
, A new network that consists of several switches has been connected together via
trunking interfaces. If all switches currently have the default VTP domain name "null",
which statement describes what happens when a domain name is configured on one of
those switches.
A. The switch with the non-default domain name restored back to "null" upon reboot.
B. Switches with higher revision numbers does not accept the new domain name.
C. VTP summary advertisements are sent out of all ports with the new domain name.
D. All other switches with the default domain name become VTP clients. - Answer-C.
VTP summary advertisements are sent out of all ports with the new domain name.
By default, a switch will have a domain name of NULL and no password. If the switch
hears a VTP advertisement it will automatically learn the VTP domain name, VLANs,
and the configuration revision number. Summary advertisements - sent out every 300
seconds and every time a change occurs on the vlan database. Domain name is
contained in summary advertisements
A network engineer is setting up a new switched network. The network is expected to
grow and add many new VLANs in the future. Which Spanning Tree Protocol should be
used to reduce switch resources and managerial burdens that are associated with
multiple spanning-tree instances?
A. RSTP
B. PVST
C. MST
D. PVST+
E. RPVST+ - Answer-C. MST
Multiple Spanning Tree extends the IEE 802.1w RST algorithm to multiple spanning
trees. THe main purpose fo MST is to reduce the total number of spanning-tree
instances to match the physical topology fo the network and thus reduce the CPU
cycles of a switch. PVST+ runs STP instances for each VLAN and does not take into
consideration the physical topology that might now require many different STP
topologies. MST uses a minimum number of STP instances to match the number of
physical topologies present.
48. Which statement about the use of SDM templates in a Cisco switch is true?
A. SDM templates are used to configure system resources in the switch to optimize
support for specific features, depending on how the switch is used in the network.
B. SDM templates are used to create Layer 3 interface (switch virtual interfaces) to
permit hosts in one VLAN to communicate with hosts in another VLAN
C. SDM templates are used to configure ACLs that protect network and specific hosts
from unnecessary or unwanted traffic.
D. SDM templates are used to configure a set of ACLs that allows the users to manage
the flow of traffic handled by the route processor.
, E. SDM templates are configured by accessing the switch using the web interface -
Answer-A. SDM templates are used to configure system resources in the switch to
optimize support for specific features, depending on how the switch is used in the
network.
You can use SDM templates to configure system resources int he switch to optimize
support for specific features, depending on how the switch is used int he network. You
can select a template to provide maximum system usage for some functions; for
example, use the default template to balance resources, and use access template to
obtain max ACL usage. To allocate hardware resources for different usages, the switch
SDM templates prioritize system resources to optimize support for certain features.
49. Which SDM template disables routing and supports the maximum number of unicast
MAC addresses?
A. VLAN
B. access
C. default
D. routing - Answer-A. VLAN
To allocate ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) resources for different
usages, the switch SDM templates prioritize the system resources to optimize support
for certain features. You can select SDM templates to optimize these features. VLANs -
The VLAN template disables routing and supports the maximum number of unicast
MAC addresses. It would typically be selected for a layer 2 switch
50. Which SDM template is the most appropriate for a Layer 2 switch that provides
connectivity to a large number of clients?
A. VLAN
B. default
C. access
D. routing - Answer-A. VLAN

51. In a Cisco switch, what is the default period of time after which a MAC address ages
out and is discarded?
A. 100 seconds
B. 180 seconds
C. 300 seconds
