What is the function of STP in a scalable network?

It disables redundant paths to eliminate Layer 2 loops.

It decreases the size of the failure domain to contain the impact of failures.

It protects the edge of the enterprise network from malicious activity

It combines multiple switch trunk links to act as one logical link for increased bandwidth

. What is a characteristic of spanning tree?

It is enabled by default on Cisco switches.

It is used to discover information about an adjacent Cisco device

It has a TTL mechanism that works at Layer 2

It prevents propagation of Layer 2 broadcast frames.

What is the purpose of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)?

creates smaller collision domains

prevents routing loops on a router

allows Cisco devices to exchange routing table updates

creates smaller broadcast domains

What is the value used to determine which port on a nonroot bridge will become a root port in a STP network?

the highest MAC address of all the ports in the switch

the lowest MAC address of all the ports in the switch

What are two drawbacks to turning spanning tree off and having multiple paths through the Layer 2 switch network? (Choose two.)

The MAC address table becomes unstable.

Broadcast frames are transmitted indefinitely

Port security shuts down all of the ports that have attached devices.

Refer to the exhibit. The administrator tried to create an EtherChannel between S1 and the other two switches via the commands that are shown, but was unsuccessful. What is the problem?

Traffic cannot be sent to two different switches through the same EtherChannel link.

Traffic cannot be sent to two different switches, but only to two different devices like an EtherChannel-enabled server and a switch.

Traffic can only be sent to two different switches if EtherChannel is implemented on Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.

Traffic can only be sent to two different switches if EtherChannel is implemented on Layer 3 switches.

Which statement is true regarding the use of PAgP to create EtherChannels?

It increases the number of ports that are participating in spanning tree.

It mandates that an even number of ports (2, 4, 6, etc.) be used for aggregation.

What are two requirements to be able to configure an EtherChannel between two switches? (Choose two.)

All the interfaces need to work at the same speed.

All the interfaces need to be working in the same duplex mode.

All interfaces need to be assigned to different VLANs.

Different allowed ranges of VLANs must exist on each end.

A network administrator configured an EtherChannel link with three interfaces between two switches. What is the result if one of the three interfaces is down?

The remaining two interfaces continue to load balance traffic.

The remaining two interfaces become separate links between the two switches

One interface becomes an active link for data traffic and the other becomes a backup link.

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 auto. Which command must be used on SW2 to enable this EtherChannel?

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

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

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

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

. What is a requirement to configure a trunking EtherChannel between two switches?

The allowed range of VLANs must be the same on both switches.

The participating interfaces must be assigned the same VLAN number on both switches.

The participating interfaces must be physically contiguous on a switch.

The participating interfaces must be on the same module on a switch.

What are two advantages of using LACP? (Choose two.)

It allows directly connected switches to negotiate an EtherChannel link.

It allows the use of multivendor devices.

It eliminates the need for configuring trunk interfaces when deploying VLANs on multiple switches.

It decreases the amount of configuration that is needed on a switch.

t provides a simulated environment for testing link aggregation

What are two advantages of EtherChannel? (Choose two.)

Spanning Tree Protocol views the physical links in an EtherChannel as one logical connection.

Configuring the EtherChannel interface provides consistency in the configuration of the physical links

Load balancing occurs between links configured as different EtherChannels

EtherChannel uses upgraded physical links to provide increased bandwidth

Spanning Tree Protocol ensures redundancy by transitioning failed interfaces in an EtherChannel to a forwarding state

Which statement describes an EtherChannel implementation?

A trunked port can be part of an EtherChannel bundle.

EtherChannel operates only at Layer 2.

PAgP cannot be used in conjunction with EtherChannel.

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

Which statement describes a characteristic of EtherChannel?

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

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 parallel links between a switch and a router.

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

SW1: auto SW2: auto trunking enabled on both switches

SW1: auto SW2: auto PortFast enabled on both switches

What are two load-balancing methods in the EtherChannel technology? (Choose two.)

combination of source port and IP to destination port and IP

source port to destination port

combination of source MAC and IP to destination MAC and IP

What is the outcome of a Layer 2 broadcast storm?

New traffic is discarded by the switch because it is unable to be processed.

Routers will take over the forwarding of frames as switches become congested.

CSMA/CD will cause each host to continue transmitting frames

ARP broadcast requests are returned to the transmitting host.

Which two network design features require Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) to ensure correct network operation?

redundant links between Layer 2 switches

removing single points of failure with multiple Layer 2 switches

implementing VLANs to contain broadcasts

link-state dynamic routing that provides redundant routes

A network administrator has configured an EtherChannel between two switches that are connected via four trunk links. If the physical interface for one of the trunk links changes to a down state, what happens to the EtherChannel?

The EtherChannel will remain functional.

Spanning Tree Protocol will transition the failed physical interface into forwarding mode.

Spanning Tree Protocol will recalculate the remaining trunk links

The EtherChannel will transition to a down state
