It is only a recommended value and could be any number between 1 and 65535.

PVST+ requires the use of values that can be divided equally into 32768 and not leave a

remainder.

The MAC address uses eight bytes of the bridge ID leaving only two bytes for the bridge

priority value.

91. Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator is configuring RT1 for inter-VLAN

routing. The switch is configured correctly and is functional. Host1, Host2, and Host3

cannot communicate with each other. Based on the router configuration, what is

causing the problem?

domain.

Verify that the switch has a lower configuration revision number than the other

switches in the new domain.

94. An administrator is troubleshooting a PC on the network which is suffering from

slow and intermittent connectivity. The PC has a ping success rate to the default

gateway of less than half the ping attempts. Other PCs on the switch can consistently

ping the default gateway. The switch port is configured for auto duplex and the PC is

configured for full duplex. What will commonly cause this problem?

The PC is set to full duplex. The switch port fails to autonegotiate the duplex setting

and defaults to half duplex, which causes a duplex mismatch. The switch traffic is exceeding available frame buffers. The result is that frames are being

dropped.

The PC and the default gateway have different bandwidth Ethernet ports.

The default gateway is not on the same switch that the PC is.

Page 42: Final S3

95. Refer to the exhibit. What does “LEARNING” mean as it relates to the Spanning

Tree Protocol?

102. Company policy requires disabling the command history buffer on network

devices. An administrator enters terminal no history size at the command prompt on a

Cisco Catalyst switch and receives no error messages back, but the command history

buffer is still available. What is the problem?

The command contained a syntax error.

The Cisco IOS version does not support disabling the command history buffer.

The command history can only be disabled on a router, not a switch.

The size parameter reset the default buffer size but did not disable access to the buffer.

103. Refer to the exhibit. What would happen if the network administrator moved the

network cable of Host A from interface Fa0/1 to Fa0/3 on switch SW1?

Host A remains a member of VLAN 10, because the router is routing traffic between

VLANs.

Host A is no longer a member of VLAN 10, because port Fa0/3 has been manually

assigned to VLAN 30.

Page 45: Final S3

Host A remains a member of VLAN 10, because the switch provides dynamic VLAN

assignment for the port.

Host A maintains connectivity to all members of VLAN 10, because it is connected to the

same physical network.

114. Refer to the exhibit. All hosts are in listen mode. Host 1 and Host 4 both transmit

data at the same time. How do the hosts respond on the network? (Choose two.)

After the end of the jam signal, a backoff algorithm is invoked. Hosts 1 and 4 are operating full duplex so no collision will exist.

The hub will block the port connected to Host 4 to prevent a collision.

Hosts 1 and 4 are assigned shorter backoff values to provide them priority to access the

media.

VTP domain.

Page 53: Final S3

This switch will drop all VTP advertisements that come from switches that are configured in

the same VTP domain.

Adding this switch to the network will cause no disruption in the VTP domain

operations if the rest of the switches in the same VTP domain have a higher

configuration revision number.

123. Refer to the exhibit. What does the term DYNAMIC indicate in the output that is

shown?

This entry can only be removed from the MAC address table by a network administrator.

When forwarding a frame to the device with address 0060.5c5b.cd23 , the switch does

not have to perform a lookup to determine the final destination port.

Incoming traffic with VLAN ID 0 is processed by interface fa0/0.

Incoming traffic that has a VLAN ID of 2 is processed by subinterface fa0/0.2.

Both subinterfaces remain up with line protocol up, even if fa0/0 line protocol is down.

Subinterfaces use unique MAC addresses by adding the 802.1Q VLAN ID to the

hardware address.

Traffic inbound on this router is processed by different subinterfaces, depending on the

VLAN from which the traffic originated.

network cable of Host A from interface Fa0/1 to Fa0/3 on switch SW1? Host A remains a member of VLAN 10, because the router is routing traffic between

VLANs.

Host A is no longer a member of VLAN 10, because port Fa0/3 has been manually

assigned to VLAN 30.

Host A remains a member of VLAN 10, because the switch provides dynamic VLAN

assignment for the port.

Host A maintains connectivity to all members of VLAN 10, because it is connected to

the same physical network.

Host A is no longer a member of VLAN 10, but because port Fa0/3 was unused, it is

now a member of VLAN 1.

PVST+ requires the use of values that can be divided equally into 32768 and not leave a

remainder.

The MAC address uses eight bytes of the bridge ID leaving only two bytes for the bridge priority

value.

91. Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator is configuring RT1 for inter-VLAN

routing. The switch is configured correctly and is functional. Host1, Host2, and Host3

cannot communicate with each other. Based on the router configuration, what is causing

Configure the switch with the name of the new management domain. Download the VTP database from the VTP server in the new domain.

Configure the VTP server in the new domain to recognize the BID of the switch.

Reset the VTP counters to allow the switch to synchronize with the other switches in the new

domain.

Verify that the switch has a lower configuration revision number than the other switches in

the new domain.

94. An administrator is troubleshooting a PC on the network which is suffering from slow

and intermittent connectivity. The PC has a ping success rate to the default gateway of less

than half the ping attempts. Other PCs on the switch can consistently ping the default

gateway. The switch port is configured for auto duplex and the PC is configured for full

duplex. What will commonly cause this problem?

The PC is set to full duplex. The switch port fails to autonegotiate the duplex setting and

defaults to half duplex, which causes a duplex mismatch. The switch traffic is exceeding available frame buffers. The result is that frames are being

dropped.

The PC and the default gateway have different bandwidth Ethernet ports.

The default gateway is not on the same switch that the PC is.

Page 132: Final S3

95. Refer to the exhibit. What does “LEARNING” mean as it relates to the Spanning Tree

102. Company policy requires disabling the command history buffer on network devices.

An administrator enters terminal no history size at the command prompt on a Cisco

Catalyst switch and receives no error messages back, but the command history buffer is

still available. What is the problem?

The command contained a syntax error.

The Cisco IOS version does not support disabling the command history buffer.

The command history can only be disabled on a router, not a switch.

The size parameter reset the default buffer size but did not disable access to the buffer.

103. Refer to the exhibit. What would happen if the network administrator moved the

network cable of Host A from interface Fa0/1 to Fa0/3 on switch SW1?

Host A remains a member of VLAN 10, because the router is routing traffic between VLANs.

Host A is no longer a member of VLAN 10, because port Fa0/3 has been manually assigned

to VLAN 30.

Host A remains a member of VLAN 10, because the switch provides dynamic VLAN

Page 135: Final S3

assignment for the port.

Host A maintains connectivity to all members of VLAN 10, because it is connected to the same

physical network.

03. Refer to the exhibit. All hosts are in listen mode. Host 1 and Host 4 both transmit data

at the same time. How do the hosts respond on the network? (Choose two.)

After the end of the jam signal, a backoff algorithm is invoked.

Hosts 1 and 4 are operating full duplex so no collision will exist.

The hub will block the port connected to Host 4 to prevent a collision.

Hosts 1 and 4 are assigned shorter backoff values to provide them priority to access the

media.

If a host has data to transmit after the backoff period of that host, the host checks to

determine if the line is idle before transmitting.

Page 156: Final S3

04. Refer to the exhibit. An administrator documented the output of a CAM table from an

Ethernet switch as shown. What action will the switch take when it receives the frame

shown at the bottom of the exhibit?

config.

The contents of NVRAM on S1 will become the startup configuration file on the tokyo

switch.

08. Refer to the exhibit. What does the term DYNAMIC indicate in the output that is

shown?

This entry can only be removed from the MAC address table by a network administrator.

When forwarding a frame to the device with address 0060.5c5b.cd23 , the switch

does not have to perform a lookup to determine the final destination port.

Only the device with MAC address 0060.5c5b.cd23 will be allowed to connect to port

Fa0/18.

The switch learned this MAC address from the source address in a frame received on

Fa0/18.

administrator enters terminal no history size at the command prompt on a Cisco Catalyst

switch and receives no error messages back, but the command history buffer is still

available. What is the problem?

The command contained a syntax error.

The Cisco IOS version does not support disabling the command history buffer.

The command history can only be disabled on a router, not a switch.

The size parameter reset the default buffer size but did not disable access to the buffer.

Page 158: Final S3

10. Refer to the exhibit. The devices in the network are operational and configured as

indicated in the exhibit. However, hosts B and D cannot ping each other. What is the most

likely cause of this problem?

The link between the switches is up but not trunked.

The Fa0/11 interface of Switch1 is not configured as a trunk.

Hosts B and D are configured with IP addresses from different subnets.

VLAN 20 and VLAN 30 are not allowed on the trunk between the switches.

11. A network administrator is implementing VTP in a large campus LAN that contains

one hundred switches. What are valid considerations for reliability and administration?

Using server mode on a single master switch and client mode on all other switches will

provide the most fault tolerance for retaining VLAN information in all switches if power

is lost on the network.

Using transparent mode on all switches will allow for efficient administration and prevent

VLAN data loss from the loss of any single switch.

Configuring several switches in server mode will allow all VLANs to be entered from a

single switch and preserve VLAN data if any of the switches or connections are lost.

Configuring one primary and one backup switch in server mode and all other switches in

transparent mode will provide fault tolerance for the VLAN data and allow for efficient

distribution of the VLAN configurations to all switches.

Page 159: Final S3

12. Refer to the exhibit. Switch SW-A is to be used as a temporary replacement for

another switch in the VTP Student domain. What two pieces of information are indicated

14. An administrator is troubleshooting a PC on the network which is suffering from slow

and intermittent connectivity. The PC has a ping success rate to the default gateway of less

than half the ping attempts. Other PCs on the switch can consistently ping the default

gateway. The switch port is configured for auto duplex and the PC is configured for full

duplex. What will commonly cause this problem? The PC is set to full duplex. The switch port fails to autonegotiate the duplex setting and defaults

to half duplex, which causes a duplex mismatch.

The switch traffic is exceeding available frame buffers. The result is that frames are being

dropped.

The PC and the default gateway have different bandwidth Ethernet ports.

The default gateway is not on the same switch that the PC is.

cable of Host A from interface Fa0/1 to Fa0/3 on switch SW1?

Host A remains a member of VLAN 10, because the router is routing traffic between VLANs.

Host A is no longer a member of VLAN 10, because port Fa0/3 has been manually assigned to

VLAN 30.

Host A remains a member of VLAN 10, because the switch provides dynamic VLAN

assignment for the port.

Host A maintains connectivity to all members of VLAN 10, because it is connected to the same

physical network.

Host A is no longer a member of VLAN 10, but because port Fa0/3 was unused, it is now a

member of VLAN 1.

26. Which feature is uniquely found in an access layer switch within a hierarchical network

model? link aggregation

Power over Ethernet

access control lists

Layer 3 routing capabilities

27. While configuring a new switch, a network administrator configures the switch as an

HTTP server. What benefits does this configuration provide?

This allows the switch to host web pages for the network.

29. Using the command copy tftp:backup.cfg startup-config, an administrator downloaded

a saved configuration from a TFTP server to a switch. Why does the administrator not

detect any changes in the switch configuration after the download completes? The command should have been copy startup-config tftp:backup.cfg.

A backup configuration from a TFTP server cannot be copied directly into the startup-config.

The command copy running-config startup-config should be used to save the changes on the

switch.

Downloading to the startup-config requires the switch to be reloaded in order for the

configuration to take effect.

Increase the capacity of the distribution and core trunk links to 10 Gb/s.

Add a trunk link that directly connects D1 and D2.

Use Layer 3 switching on the core switch.

Implement Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol.

33.

Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator has segmented the network into two VLANs

and configured R1 and S1 as displayed. However, PC1 is unable to access PC2. What is the

likely problem? No routing protocol is configured on R1.

The Fa0/1 port of S1 is not a trunk port.

The default gateway address is not set on S1.

Only one physical link between S1 and R1 is configured for inter-VLAN routing.

Page 196: Final S3

34.

Refer to the exhibit. A network has already been configured with VTP, using DLS1 as the

VTP server for the VTP domain Cisco. What will happen when the DLS2 switch is

connected to the DLS1 switch via a trunk link?

Because the VTP domain is not configured on DLS2, nothing will happen.

Because DLS2 is in client mode, it will be updated with the VLANs that are configured on

DLS1.

The MD5 digest on DLS2 does not match the one on DLS1, so an error message will be logged

to the console.

Because DLS2 has a higher revision number than DLS1 has, the VLAN information on DLS1

will be overwritten by the information on DLS2.

35. What information in an Ethernet frame is used by a Layer 2 switch to build its address

table?

source IP address

source MAC address

destination IP address

Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator is configuring RT1 for inter-VLAN routing.

The switch is configured correctly and is functional. Host1, Host2, and Host3 cannot

communicate with each other. Based on the router configuration, what is causing the

problem? Interface Fa0/0 is missing IP address configuration information.

IP addresses on the subinterfaces are incorrectly matched to the VLANs.

Each subinterface of Fa0/0 needs separate no shutdown commands.

Routers do not support 802.1Q encapsulation on subinterfaces.

42. Why is priority configured in 4096 increments when using PVST+?

Use of the extended bridge ID leaves only four bits for the bridge priority.

It is only a recommended value and could be any number between 1 and 65535.

PVST+ requires the use of values that can be divided equally into 32768 and not leave a

remainder.

The MAC address uses eight bytes of the bridge ID leaving only two bytes for the bridge priority

value.

43.

Refer to the exhibit. The network administrator needs to remove the east-hosts VLAN and

use the switch port from that VLAN in one of the existing VLANs. Which two sets of

duplex. What will commonly cause this problem? The PC is set to full duplex. The switch port fails to autonegotiate the duplex setting and defaults

to half duplex, which causes a duplex mismatch.

The switch traffic is exceeding available frame buffers. The result is that frames are being

dropped.

The PC and the default gateway have different bandwidth Ethernet ports.

The default gateway is not on the same switch that the PC is.

Subinterfaces use unique MAC addresses by adding the 802.1Q VLAN ID to the hardware

address.

Traffic inbound on this router is processed by different subinterfaces, depending on the VLAN

from which the traffic originated.

Page 215: Final S3

managing switches?

SSH uses TCP whereas Telnet does not.

SSH encrypts only the username and password when logging in.

SSH encrypts all remote management communications whereas Telnet does not.

SSH sends a clear text message steam which reduces the bandwidth use for management.

30. Refer to the exhibit. The teacher host is connected to port Fa0/7 on switch STW. A

student has decided to share access to the Internet by attaching a hub and laptop to STW

as shown. What will be the result of the student making this connection?

assignment for the port.

Host A maintains connectivity to all members of VLAN 10, because it is connected to the same

physical network.

Host A is no longer a member of VLAN 10, but because port Fa0/3 was unused, it is now a

member of VLAN 1.

50. An administrator is troubleshooting a PC on the network which is suffering from slow

and intermittent connectivity. The PC has a ping success rate to the default gateway of less

than half the ping attempts. Other PCs on the switch can consistently ping the default

gateway. The switch port is configured for auto duplex and the PC is configured for full

duplex. What will commonly cause this problem?

The PC is set to full duplex. The switch port fails to autonegotiate the duplex setting and defaults

to half duplex, which causes a duplex mismatch.

The switch traffic is exceeding available frame buffers. The result is that frames are being

dropped.

The PC and the default gateway have different bandwidth Ethernet ports.

The default gateway is not on the same switch that the PC is.

51. Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator has segmented the network into two

VLANs and configured Router1 for inter-VLAN routing. A test of the network, however,

shows that hosts on each VLAN can only access local resources and not resources on the

other VLAN. What is the most likely cause of this problem?

Switch port Fa0/1 is not trunking.

Router interface Fa0/0 is possibly down.

No routing protocol is configured on Router1.

One of the router subinterfaces is possibly down.

Page 220: Final S3

52. What impact does the use of the mdix auto configuration command have on an

the same time. How do the hosts respond on the network? (Choose two.) After the end of the jam signal, a backoff algorithm is invoked.

Hosts 1 and 4 are operating full duplex so no collision will exist.

The hub will block the port connected to Host 4 to prevent a collision.

Hosts 1 and 4 are assigned shorter backoff values to provide them priority to access the media.

If a host has data to transmit after the backoff period of that host, the host checks to determine if

the line is idle before transmitting.

56.

Refer to the exhibit. An administrator documented the output of a CAM table from an

Ethernet switch as shown. What action will the switch take when it receives the frame

shown at the bottom of the exhibit? discard the frame

57. What will be the effect of the command S1# copy system:running-

config172.16.2.155/tokyo-config?

Page 222: Final S3

The IOS will be copied to the TFTP server.

The configuration file named tokyo-config will overwrite the startup configuration file on S1.

The running configuration file on S1 will be saved via TFTP to a file named tokyo-config.

The contents of NVRAM on S1 will become the startup configuration file on the tokyo switch.

58. Company policy requires disabling the command history buffer on network devices. An

administrator enters terminal no history size at the command prompt on a Cisco Catalyst

switch and receives no error messages back, but the command history buffer is still

available. What is the problem? The command contained a syntax error.

The Cisco IOS version does not support disabling the command history buffer.

The command history can only be disabled on a router, not a switch.

The size parameter reset the default buffer size but did not disable access to the buffer.

59. A network administrator is implementing VTP in a large campus LAN that contains

one hundred switches. What are valid considerations for reliability and administration?

Using server mode on a single master switch and client mode on all other switches will provide

the most fault tolerance for retaining VLAN information in all switches if power is lost on the

network.

Using transparent mode on all switches will allow for efficient administration and prevent

VLAN data loss from the loss of any single switch.

Configuring several switches in server mode will allow all VLANs to be entered from a single

switch and preserve VLAN data if any of the switches or connections are lost.

Configuring one primary and one backup switch in server mode and all other switches in

transparent mode will provide fault tolerance for the VLAN data and allow for efficient

distribution of the VLAN configurations to all switches.

60.

There is a risk that the switch may cause incorrect VLAN information to be sent through the

Page 223: Final S3

domain.

VTP will block frame forwarding on at least one redundant trunk port that is configured on this

switch.

in the same domain.

61. What is the purpose of issuing the command switchport mode access on a switch

interface?

disable port security

make the port operational

override the default port behavior

force the port to be a part of a single vlan

62.

Refer to the exhibit. What happens when a frame from a source MAC address different

from 00a8.d2e4.ba27 reaches switch port 0/5? The frame is dropped.

The port is shut down.

An error message is displayed.

FastEthernet port 0/5 will show an err-disabled messag

63.

Refer to the exhibit. What will be the result of the commands that are shown in the exhibit?

Only clients on VLAN 2 will be able to use DHCP for addressing.

DHCP server responses will only be permitted on interface Fa0/2.

Only 100 clients are permitted to request DHCP addresses on VLAN 2.

Client requests for DHCP addresses will be filtered out if the requests are not received on

interface Fa0/2.

64. Why is it important that the network administrator consider the spanning-tree network

diameter when choosing the root bridge?

Page 224: Final S3

The network diameter limitation is 9.

BPDUs may be discarded because of expiring timers.

The cabling distance between the switches is 100 meters.

The network diameter must be set to the number of meters of the cable between the root bridge

and its farthest connected switch.

65.

Refer to the exhibit. What is the result of issuing these commands? The enable password will be set.

The password will be set for the first Telnet connection.
