Cisco VLAN and Trunking Quiz

What happens to a port that is associated with VLAN 10 when the administrator deletes VLAN 10 from the switch?

• The port creates the VLAN again.

• The port goes back to the default VLAN.

• The port automatically associates itself with the native VLAN.

• The port becomes inactive.

In which memory location are the VLAN configurations of normal range VLANs stored on a Catalyst switch?

• ROM

• RAM

• NVRAM

• flash

An administrator is investigating a failure on a trunk link between a Cisco switch and a switch from another vendor. After a few show commands, the administrator notices that the switches are not negotiating a trunk. What is a probable cause for this issue?

• Both switches are in nonegotiate mode.

• Both switches are in trunk mode.

• DTP frames are flooding the entire network

• Switches from other vendors do not support DTP.

What is the purpose of the vlan.dat file on a switch?

• It holds the running configuration.

• It holds the operating system.

• It holds the saved configuration.

• It holds the VLAN database.

What is the purpose of setting the native VLAN separate from data VLANs?

• The security of management frames that are carried in the native VLAN can be enhanced.

• The native VLAN is for carrying VLAN management traffic only.

• The native VLAN is for routers and switches to exchange their management information, so it should be different from data VLANS.

• A separate VLAN should be used to carry uncommon untagged frames to avoid bandwidth contention on data VLANS.

When a Cisco switch receives untagged frames on a 802.1Q trunk port, which VLAN ID is the traffic switched to by default?

• management VLAN ID

• data VLAN ID

• unused VLAN ID

• native VLAN ID

A network administrator is determining the best placement of VLAN trunk links. Which two types of point-to-point connections utilize VLAN trunking?

• between two switches that utilize multiple VLANs

• between a switch and a server that has an 802.1Q NIC

• between a switch and a network printer

• between two switches that share a common VLAN

• between a switch and a client PC

What are three primary benefits of using VLANs?

• a reduction in the number of trunk links

• end user satisfaction

• cost reduction

• improved IT staff efficiency

• security

On a Cisco switch, where is extended range VLAN information stored?

• running configuration file

• NVRAM

• flash

• startup configuration file

In which location are the normal range VLANs stored on a Cisco switch by default?

• RAM

• flash memory

• startup-config

• running-config
