1. How does VTP affect VLAN administration?
- Port to VLAN assignments for an entire VTP domain can all be done on a single switch.
- VLANs are only visible on switches that have ports assigned to them.
- VTP propagates VLAN numbers, but not names, to all switches in a VTP domain.
- VTP is required to allow VLAN naming across switches.
- VTP propagates VLAN names to all switches in a VTP domain.
2. A Catalyst switch must be in which VTP mode in order to delete or add VLANs to a management domain?
- client
- server
- domain
- transparent
- designated
3. What is the purpose of VTP transparent mode?
- permits VLAN creation on a single “transparent” switch and subsequent propagation to all other VTP switches
- allows propagation of extended range VLANs
- makes VTP traffic “transparent” to other devices by allowing VLANs other than VLAN 1 to act as the management VLAN
- enables VTP advertisements to pass through a non-participating switch
4. Refer to the exhibit. Switches A and B connect via a trunk and are running VTP. However, switch B is not getting VLAN update information. What could cause this problem?
- FastEthernet cannot be used for trunking.
- The switches are not set to the same VTP mode.
- The VTP domain name is not the same on both switches.
- The configuration revision number does not match on both switches.
5. A switch in a VTP domain sends an advertisement request. What will be the response?
- A configuration status reply will be issued from the closest client switch.
- A three-way handshake will establish a configuration session with the VTP server.
- Summary and subset advertisements will be sent by the VTP server.
- The configuration version number will be set to zero and all switches in the domain will issue advertisements regarding the state of their VLANs.
6. Which function, when enabled on a switched network, prevents broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast traffic to a VLAN from being flooded to switches that do not have that particular VLAN assigned to them?
- trunking
- VTP domain
- VTP pruning
- VTP transparent mode
7. Drag the requirements to add a new switch to an existing VTP domain from the left-hand column to the right-hand column. (Not all options are used.)
Answer
8. Drag the command on the left to the associated description on the right. (Not all options are used.)
9. What is the purpose of the VLAN Trunking Protocol?
- maintaining consistency in VLAN configuration across the network
- routing frames from one VLAN to another
- routing the frames along the best path between switches
- tagging user data frames with VLAN membership information
- distributing BPDUs to maintain loop-free switched paths
10. Refer to the exhibit. Switch SW1 and switch SW2 are configured in the same VTP domain but failed to exchange VLAN information. What could be done to fix the problem?
- Configure the same VLANs on the VTP client and VTP server.
- Configure the same VTP mode on the VTP client and VTP server.
- Configure the same password on the VTP client and VTP server.
- Configure different VTP domain names on the VTP client and VTP server.
- Configure the VTP client in VTP transparent mode.
- Configure the trunk link as an access link.
11. A network engineer is implementing a new VLAN design on an existing structure. The plan is to rename the VTP domain and implement 25 VLANs. The engineer takes an existing production switch to the lab, enters the proposed VLANs, and changes the VTP domain name. All new VLANs are verified present with the show vlan command. The network administrator subsequently decides to retain the original domain name, so the name is changed back and the switch reconnected to the production network. The show vlan command shows that none of the new VLANs are synchronizing on the other network switches. All switches can ping each other and trunking is correct. What is the likely problem?
- No ports are assigned to the new VLANs yet, so VTP pruning is disabling them.
- The switch rejoined the network with the revision number set to zero.
- The engineer failed to save the new VLAN configuration to NVRAM.
- The other switches are all in server mode by default and do not accept VTP updates.
12. Drag the description on the left to the correct VTP mode on the right. (Not all options are used.)
13. Refer to the exhibit. The switches in the exhibit are interconnected by trunked links and are configured for VTP as shown. A new VLAN is added to Switch1. Which three actions will occur? (Choose three.)
- Switch1 will send a VTP update to Switch2.
- Switch2 will add the VLAN to its database and pass the update to Switch3.
- Switch3 will pass the VTP update to Switch4.
- Switch3 will add the VLAN to its database.
- Switch4 will not add the VLAN to its database.
- Switch4 will not receive the update.
