What is the primary purpose of a VLAN? - CORRECT ANSWER - To create a
broadcast domain; enable segmentation or isolation of broadcast traffic
Unassigned Cisco switch ports remain in which VLAN? - CORRECT ANSWER -
VLAN 1
Do VLANs prevent broadcast storms? - CORRECT ANSWER - No, they
minimize the size and effect of the broadcast storm on neighbor switches and hosts
What are four advantages to using VLANs? - CORRECT ANSWER - 1. Enable
access to network services based on logical requirements
2. Network security is optimized with VLANs that enable managing and filtering
sensitive traffic from other network traffic
3. Bandwidth efficiency is accomplished through segmenting traffic into smaller
broadcast domains
4. Easier add/move/delete administration of endpoints on a network and scalability
for larger enterprise deployments

,What commands would you use to globally create and name a VLAN? -
CORRECT ANSWER - vlan #
name <name_of_vlan>
What is the default switch port mode? - CORRECT ANSWER - Access port
What will switch access ports do with am Ethernet frame it receives with an 802.1q
tag? - CORRECT ANSWER - It will discard the packet without learning the
source MAC address
What command would you use to configure a range of switch ports? - CORRECT
ANSWER - interface range gigabitethernet#/# - #
What command lists all VLANs configured on a switch? - CORRECT ANSWER -
show vlan or show vlan brief
What command is used to display the switch ports assigned to a single VLAN? -
CORRECT ANSWER - show vlan id <vlan>
When are data messages forwarded to the default gateway? - CORRECT
ANSWER - When the destination subnet is on a different subnet than the endpoint
Does the Cisco default switch configuration have an IP default gateway? -
CORRECT ANSWER - No
What command is used to create an IP default gateway? - CORRECT ANSWER -
ip default-gateway <ip_address>

, What is the primary purpose of a switch? - CORRECT ANSWER - To make
forwarding decisions based on destination MAC address
List the network services provided by switches - CORRECT ANSWER - - Only
read Ethernet frame headers and forward traffic
- Create and maintain the MAC address table
- Create separate collision domains per switch port
- Create separate broadcast domains per VLAN
What method was used for detecting Ethernet collisions on older hubs and bridges?
- CORRECT ANSWER - Carrier Sense Multiple Access Collision Detection
(CSMA/CD)
How many separate MAC address table does a switch create? - CORRECT
ANSWER - A switch creates a separate MAC address table for each configured
VLAN
What command lists the contents of the MAC address table for a switch? -
CORRECT ANSWER - show mac address-table
When does a switch begin MAC address learning? - CORRECT ANSWER - When
a switch is first started and connected hosts start sending frames? Also triggered
when the aging time expires for an address
What is the default time that a switch removes MAC address table entries? -
CORRECT ANSWER - 300 seconds
How do you disable MAC address table aging? - CORRECT ANSWER -
Configure the MAC aging timer to zero
