Question 6

Labeled as ‘Int VLAN 130: 10.x.x.x /xx’ where int stands for interface and 10.x.x.x is the Management IP and /xx is the subnet mask of the IP. This IP is configured to access the device remotely to manage the device. To create a Management IP, you need to create a VLAN for it

Answer 6

management IP

Question 7

Formal names in a switch followed by a port number informing the type of throughput allowed per port which is 100Mbp/s maximum; for example ports f0/8 and f0/12.

Answer 7

fastethernet port

Question 8

Less common in present day switch devices. Maximum throughput is 10Mbp/s

Answer 8

ethernet port

Question 9

This type of port is present in devices that handle heavier traffic and therefore have a maximum throughput of 1Gbp/s or 1000Mbp/s.

Answer 9

gigethernet/gigabiteethernet port

Question 10

End devices such as PCs, printers, VoIP phones, that request and send
information over the network

Answer 10

Hosts

Question 11

Jargon for any device that is brand new

Question 15

Initial mode in a device such as a switch or router. There is a ‘greater than’ sign or carat sign preceded by the hostname of the device. This is the equivalent of a read-only mode in a network device:

Answer 15

user-exec mode. Example: switch>

Question 16

This mode is accessed by typing ‘enable’ or ‘en’ under user-exec mode; There is a hash tag or number sign preceded by the hostname of the device. In this mode you will be able to run show commands and diagnostics to verify the configurations in a device:

Answer 16

privilege mode. Example: switch#

Question 17

This mode is accessed by typing ‘configure terminal’or ‘conf t’under privilege mode. Depending on what you are configuring, you will see the configuration name in parenthesis and hash tag, preceded by the hostname of the device. In this mode, you will be able configure your network device.

Answer 17

global configuration mode

Question 18

Configurations that you will need to apply to all your devices whenever you begin a new lab.

Answer 18

initial command/ basic configurations

Question 19

Answer 19

passwords

Question 20

Answer 23

dynamic desirable

Question 24

Delineates a port as an access port unless you assign it as another port type.

Answer 24

switchport non-negotiate

Question 25

This protocol outputs how the switch manages and handles vlan information. By default, the switches run under server VTP mode.

For example vtp mode transparent, allows the creation of vlans to be local to the switch that you are configuring, any changes of VLANs in the switch will not affect existing ones in the neighboring switches; this mode also helps you see the vlans created in the running configuration.

There are three types of VTP modes:

Answer 25

VTP domain, virtual trunking protocol.

• server
• client
• transparent
