As the network administrator you have been asked to implement EtherChannel on the corporate network. What does this configuration consist of?
providing redundant links that dynamically block or forward traffic
grouping two devices to share a virtual IP address
grouping multiple physical ports to increase bandwidth between two switches
providing redundant devices to allow traffic to flow in the event of device failure
What is a definition of a two-tier LAN network design?
access and core layers collapsed into one tier, and the distribution layer on a separate tier
distribution and core layers collapsed into one tier, and the access layer on a separate tier
access, distribution, and core layers collapsed into one tier, with a separate backbone layer
access and distribution layers collapsed into one tier, and the core layer on a separate tier
What are two reasons to create a network baseline?
to select a routing protocol
to determine what kind of equipment to implement
to design a network according to a proper model
to identify future abnormal network behavior
to determine if the network can deliver the required policies
Which action should be taken when planning for redundancy on a hierarchical network design?
add alternate physical paths for data to traverse the network
continually purchase backup equipment for the network
implement STP portfast between the switches on the network
immediately replace a non-functioning module, service or device on a network
What are two benefits of extending access layer connectivity to users through a wireless medium?
increased flexibility
increased network management options
decreased number of critical points of failure
reduced costs
increased bandwidth availability
What is a basic function of the Cisco Borderless Architecture access layer?
aggregates Layer 2 broadcast domains
provides access to the user

a local area network
What characteristic of a network enables it to quickly grow to support new users and applications without impacting the performance of the service being delivered to existing users?
reliability
scalability
quality of service
accessibility
What is the responsibility of the distribution layer in a hierarchical network design?
It controls the traffic flows between the other layers.
It provides access to the network for end users.
It provides a high speed backbone for traffic flows.
It controls which devices are allowed to communicate on the network.
