Question 1.
In order to configure an IP address on a Catalyst 3550 port, what actions must be taken?
(Choose 2)

a) A VLAN must be created for that port
b) The port must have all VLANs removed from it
c) VLAN configuration must include an IP address on the same subnet as the port in question
d) An SVI must be created, with a VLAN assignment different from that of the port in questions

Answer


Question 2.
A Catalyst 3550 switch is configured as follows:

interface fastethernet 0/10
switchport trunk
interface vlan 27
ip address 100.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
bridge-group 1
interface vlan 29
ip address 100.1.2.1 255.255.255.0
interface vlan 31
name thirtyone
bridge 1 protocol vlan-bridge

The particular port is then connected to another 3550 switch, which is configured identically (except for IP addresses). Data connectivity and transport will occur between end stations over which VLANs?

a) 27 and 31
b) 27 and 29
c) 29 and 31
d) all of the above
e) none of the above

Answer


Question 3.
A VLAN map is used to:

a) help document the campus VLAN design and implementation
b) set switching policy for all frames entering into a switch
c) set switching policy for all frames exiting out of a switch
d) set switching policy for all frames entering and exiting a switch
e) help document the campus VLAN switching policy

d) An SVI must be created, with a VLAN assignment different from that of the port in questions

Answer

a) A VLAN must be created for that port
c) VLAN configuration must include an IP address on the same subnet as the port in question

Explanation
Answer B will result in an error, as will answer D. Remember that, while VLANs may be configured from both the privilege exec mode using the vlan database construct or the configuration mode using the vlan x construct, only VLANs 2-1002 may be configured using the VLAN database. Extended range VLANs (starting with 1006) may only be configured from the configuration mode and are not saved in the VLAN database.

b) 27 and 29
c) 29 and 31
d) all of the above
e) none of the above

Answer

d) all of the above

Explanation
By default, all VLANs configured on a particular switch will be carried across a VLAN trunk interface.

Question 3.
A VLAN map is used to:

a) help document the campus VLAN design and implementation
b) set switching policy for all frames entering into a switch
c) set switching policy for all frames exiting out of a switch
d) set switching policy for all frames entering and exiting a switch
e) help document the campus VLAN switching policy

Answer

d) set switching policy for all frames entering and exiting a switch

Explanation
A VLAN map is not configured on interfaces, but on the entire switch itself, affecting all packets that traverse the switch.
