1 - Implementing Ethernet VLANs Flashcards
Ch 1
6 Reasons for using VLANs
- Reduce CPU and broadcasts
- Reduce Security Risks
- Improve Security of sensitive data
- Flexible design by grouping users by department
- Troubleshoot quicker by reducing failure domain
- Reduce STP workload by keeping one VLAN per switch.
What VLANs are in the normal range?
1 - 1005
What VLANs are in the extended range?
1006 - 4094
How does 802.1q tag a frame?
Adds a 4-byte header into the Ethernet header between the Source and Type fields.
Is the native VLAN tagged?
No
When configuring ROAS what are the two ways to define the native VLAN?
- Use the physical interface with no ENCAP command
- Use a subinterface with ‘encap dot1q 10 native’
For ROAS, how do you configure the physical interface to use the native VLAN
Add IP address for native VLAN, NO ENCAP and NO VLAN parameter.
For ROAS, what are the commands used to configure a subinterface to use the native VLAN?
- int fa0/0.1
- encap dot1q 10 native
- ip address 172.21.10.1 255.255.255.0
What VLANs cannot be deleted?
1, and 1002 - 1005
What commands can be used to disable VTP?
- vtp mode transparent
- vtp mode off
If connecting two switches with a trunk and both switches support ISL and 802.1q, which protocol will they choose?
ISL
Which protocol do switches use to negotiate trunking?
Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP)
What 2 configuration options are negotiated by DTP?
- administrative mode (always trunk, never trunk, or negotiate)
- Type of Trunking: ISL or dot1q,
What are possible administrative modes of a switchport?
- access
- trunk
- dynamic desireable
- dynamic auto
What is the default administrative mode of a switchport?
dynamic auto
What is the switchport command to disable DTP
switchport nonegotiate
Will the ‘show interfaces trunk’ command show IP phone trunks?
No.
What show command will show IP phone trunks?
show interfaces f0/4 trunk
If VTP is disabled and a new VLAN is configured on a new switch, where will the VLAN configuration be seen?
show running-config’
What range of VLANs do older low end switches support?
Normal-range 1 - 1005
What range of VLANs do new switches and high-end switches support?
- Normal-range: 1 - 1005
- Extended-range: 1006 - 4094
Assuming a default trunking configuration, what is the term that is used to reference the VLAN that will be used to transport the traffic between the hosts in the default VLAN?
Native
In ‘show interfaces gig0/1 switchport’ cmd what does ‘Administrative Trunking Encapsulation: negotiate’ mean?
It means the switch supports both dot1q and ISL.
How can you tell what trunking encapsulation is supported by a switch?
Run the cmd ‘show interfaces gig0/1 switchport’. Check the Administrative Trunking Encapsulation field.
What is the command to configure a voice VLAN on a switchport?
switchport voice vlan 12
