1-4 Flashcards
Which command displays information about the auto-MDIX setting for a specific interface?
show controllers
If one end of an Ethernet connection is configured for full duplex and the other end of the connection is configured for half duplex, where would late collisions be observed?
on the half-duplex end of the connection
Which command is used to set the BOOT environment variable that defines where to find the IOS image file on a switch?
boot system
What does a switch use to locate and load the IOS image?
BOOT environment variable
Which protocol adds security to remote connections?
SSH
What is a characteristic of an IPv4 loopback interface on a Cisco IOS router?
It is a logical interface internal to the router.
What is the minimum Ethernet frame size that will not be discarded by the receiver as a runt frame?
64 bytes
After which step of the switch bootup sequence is the boot loader executed?
after POST execution
Which impact does adding a Layer 2 switch have on a network?
an increase in the size of the broadcast domain
Which characteristic describes cut-through switching?
Frames are forwarded without any error checking.
What is the significant difference between a hub and a Layer 2 LAN switch?
A hub extends a collision domain, and a switch divides collision domains.
Which statement is correct about Ethernet switch frame forwarding decisions?
Frame forwarding decisions are based on MAC address and port mappings in the CAM table.
How do switch buffers affect network performance?
They store frames received, thus preventing premature frame discarding when network congestion occurs.
Which switch characteristic helps keep traffic local and alleviates network congestion?
high port density
Which switch component reduces the amount of packet handling time inside the switch?
ASIC
What information is added to the switch table from incoming frames?
source MAC address and incoming port number
Which switching method ensures that the incoming frame is error-free before forwarding?
store-and-forward
Under which two occasions should an administrator disable DTP while managing a local area network? (Choose two.)
- when connecting a Cisco switch to a non-Cisco switch
- on links that should not be trunking
Which two characteristics describe the native VLAN? (Choose two.)
- The native VLAN traffic will be untagged across the trunk link.
- The native VLAN provides a common identifier to both ends of a trunk.
On a switch that is configured with multiple VLANs, which command will remove only VLAN 100 from the switch?
Switch(config)# no vlan 100
Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator is reviewing port and VLAN assignments on switch S2 and notices that interfaces Gi0/1 and Gi0/2 are not included in the output. Why would the interfaces be missing from the output?
They are configured as trunk interfaces.
A network contains multiple VLANs spanning multiple switches. What happens when a device in VLAN 20 sends a broadcast Ethernet frame?
Only devices in VLAN 20 see the frame.
Refer to the exhibit. All workstations are configured correctly in VLAN 20. Workstations that are connected to switch SW1 are not able to send traffic to workstations on SW2. What could be done to remedy the problem?
Allow VLAN 20 on the trunk link.
What happens to switch ports after the VLAN to which they are assigned is deleted?
The ports stop communicating with the attached devices.
Refer to the exhibit. In what switch mode should port G0/1 be assigned if Cisco best practices are being used?
trunk
Port Fa0/11 on a switch is assigned to VLAN 30. If the command no switchport access vlan 30 is entered on the Fa0/11 interface, what will happen?
Port Fa0/11 will be returned to VLAN 1.
Which command displays the encapsulation type, the voice VLAN ID, and the access mode VLAN for the Fa0/1 interface?
show interfaces Fa0/1 switchport
