What is the purpose of assigning an IP address to the VLAN1 interface on a Cisco Layer 2 switch?
- to permit IP packets to be forwarded by the switch
- to create a new IP local network on the switch
- to enable remote access to the switch to manage it
- to enable the switch to route packets between networks
Explanation: The VLAN 1 on a Cisco Layer 2 switch is a virtual interface. By default, VLAN 1 is assigned as the management interface for remote access (Telnet or SSH) to the device for management tasks. In order to allow remote access through the network, a valid IP address configuration is needed on VLAN 1.
