9. While configuring inter-VLAN routing on a multilayer switch, a network administrator issues the no switchport command on an interface that is connected to another switch. What is the purpose of this command?
- to create a switched virtual interface
- to create a routed port for a single network
- to provide a static trunk link
- to provide an access link that tags VLAN traffic
10. A network administrator enters the following command sequence on a Cisco 3560 switch. What is the purpose of these commands?
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/1 Switch(config-if)# no switchport
- to enable the Gi0/1 port as a switch virtual interface
- to enable the Gi0/1 port as a bridge virtual interface
- to make the Gi0/1 port a routed port
- to shut down the Gi0/1 port
11. What operational mode should be used on a switch port to connect it to a router for router-on-a-stick inter-VLAN routing?
- dynamic auto
- trunk
- access
- dynamic desirable
12. Which sentence correctly describes the SVI inter-VLAN routing method?
- Subinterfaces have to be created.
- A physical interface is needed for every VLAN that is created.
- An SVI is needed for each VLAN.
- The encapsulation type must be configured on the SVI.
13. How is traffic routed between multiple VLANs on a multilayer switch?
- Traffic is routed via internal VLAN interfaces.
- Traffic is routed via subinterfaces.
- Traffic is routed via physical interfaces.
- Traffic is broadcast out all physical interfaces.
14. What is required to perform router-on-a-stick inter-VLAN routing?
- a multilayer switch
- a router that is configured with multiple subinterfaces
- a router with multiple physical interfaces
- a Layer 2 switch that is configured with multiple trunk ports
15. An administrator was troubleshooting a router-on-a-stick topology and concluded that the problem was related to the configuration of VLANs on the router subinterfaces. Which two commands can the administrator use in the router to identify the problem? (Choose two.)
- show ip interface
- show ip protocols
- show controllers
- show running-config
- show vlan
16. A router has two FastEthernet interfaces and needs to connect to four VLANs in the local network. How can this be accomplished using the fewest number of physical interfaces without unnecessarily decreasing network performance?
- Add a second router to handle the inter-VLAN traffic.
- Implement a router-on-a-stick configuration.
- Interconnect the VLANs via the two additional FastEthernet interfaces.
- Use a hub to connect the four VLANS with a FastEthernet interface on the router.
17. What distinguishes traditional legacy inter-VLAN routing from router-on-a-stick?
- Traditional routing is able to use only a single switch interface, whereas a router-on-a-stick can use multiple switch interfaces.
- Traditional routing requires a routing protocol, whereas a router-on-a-stick only needs to route directly connected networks.
- Traditional routing uses one port per logical network, whereas a router-on-a-stick uses subinterfaces to connect multiple logical networks to a single router port.
- Traditional routing uses multiple paths to the router and therefore requires STP, whereas router-on-a-stick does not provide multiple connections and therefore eliminates the need for STP.
18. Subinterface G0/1.10 on R1 must be configured as the default gateway for the VLAN 10 192.168.10.0/24 network. Which command should be configured on the subinterface to enable inter-VLAN routing for VLAN 10?
- encapsulation dot1q 10
- encapsulation vlan 10
- switchport mode access
- switchport mode trunk
19. What is important to consider while configuring the subinterfaces of a router when implementing inter-VLAN routing?
- The IP address of each subinterface must be the default gateway address for each VLAN subnet.
- The no shutdown command must be given on each subinterface.
- The physical interface must have an IP address configured.
- The subinterface numbers must match the VLAN ID number.
20. What are the steps that must be completed in order to enable inter-VLAN routing using router-on-a-stick?
- Configure the physical interfaces on the router and enable a routing protocol.
- Create the VLANs on the router and define the port membership assignments on the switch.
- Create the VLANs on the switch to include port membership assignment and enable a routing protocol on the router.
- Create the VLANs on the switch to include port membership assignment and configure subinterfaces on the router matching the VLANs.
21. What two statements are true regarding the use of subinterfaces for inter-VLAN routing? (Choose two.)
- Fewer router Ethernet ports required than in traditional inter-VLAN routing
- Less complex physical connection than in traditional inter-VLAN routing
- More switch ports required than in traditional inter-VLAN routing
- Simpler Layer 3 troubleshooting than with traditional inter-VLAN routing
- Subinterfaces have no contention for bandwidth

- R1(config-if)# encapsulation dot1q 20
- R1(config-subif)# encapsulation 802.1q 20
- R1(config-subif)# encapsulation dot1q 20
