Module 6-EtherChannel

Which statement describes a characteristic of EtherChannel?

• It can combine up to a maximum of 4 physical links.

• It can bundle mixed types of 100 Mb/s and 1Gb/s Ethernet links.

• It consists of multiple independent links between a switch and a router.

• It is made by combining multiple physical links that are seen as one link between two switches.

Which statement concerning EtherChannel implementation is correct?

• EtherChannel operates only at Layer 2.

• PAgP cannot be used for establishing EtherChannels.

• A trunked port can be part of an EtherChannel bundle.

• EtherChannel can support up to a maximum of ten separate links.

Which mode configuration setting would allow formation of an EtherChannel link between switches SW1 and SW2 without sending PAgP or LACP autonegotiation traffic?

• SW1: passive, SW2: active

• SW1: auto, SW2: auto

• SW1: desirable, SW2: desirable

• SW1: on, SW2: on

What of the following statements regarding EtherChannel is true?

• All the interfaces in the Etherchannel must operate at the same speed.

• Interfaces do not have to match duplex modes.

• Interfaces do not have to match duplex modes.

• Allowed Vlan ranges can be different on each end of the Etherchannel group.

Which technology is an open protocol standard that allows switches to automatically bundle physical ports into a single logical link?

• LACP

• DTP

• Multilink PPP

• PAgP

A network administrator is configuring an EtherChannel link between switches SW1 and SW2 by using the command SW1(config-if-range)# channel-group 1 mode passive. Which command must be used on SW2 to enable this EtherChannel?

• SW2(config-if-range)# channel-group 1 mode on

• SW2(config-if-range)# channel-group 1 mode active

• SW2(config-if-range)# channel-group 1 mode passive

• SW2(config-if-range)# channel-group 1 mode desirable

Which two channel-group modes would place an interface in a negotiating state using PAgP?

• S1: on, S2: on

• S1: desirable, S2: auto

• S1: active, S2: passive

• S1: active, S2: active

Which of the following is not a valid EtherChannel load-balancing method?

• Source IP to Destination IP

• Source MAC to Destination MAC

• Source port to destination port

• Destination IP only
