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?

It consists of multiple parallel links between a switch and a router.

Refer to the exhibit. An EtherChannel was configured between switches S1 and S2, but the interfaces do not form an EtherChannel. What is the problem?

The EtherChannel was not configured with the same allowed range of VLANs on each interface.

The interface port-channel number has to be different on each switch.

The switch ports were not configured with speed and duplex mode.

The switch ports have to be configured as access ports with each port having a VLAN assigned.

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? (Choose two.)

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.
