A

A set of devices that receive a broadcast sent by any one of the devices in the same set.

133
Q

What is a VLAN?

A

An administratively defined subset of switch ports that are in the same broadcast domain. By creating multiple VLANs, the switches create multiple broadcast domains.

134
Q

What is the best practice for VLANs and IPs?

A

Best practices dictate a one-to-one relationship between VLANs and IP subnets. It is possible to put multiple subnets in one VLAN, and use secondary IP addresses on routers to route between the VLANs and subnets. Also, although not typically done, you can design a network to use one subnet on multiple VLANs, and use routers with proxy ARP enabled to forward traffic between hosts in those VLANs.

A

Server Mode: vlan.dat in Flash

177
Q

Where are extended range VLAN configurations stored?

A

Server Mode: Nowhere - extended range not allowed

179
Q

How does ISL send frames across a trunk?

A

ISL adds a new 26-byte header, plus a new trailer encapsulating the original frame. This encapsulating header uses the source address of the device doing the trunking, instead of the source MAC of the original frame.

191
Q

What is PPPoE?

A

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. A convention often used as the data link protocol over Cable in which Ethernet is used as the data link protocol, but with PPP being encapsulated inside Ethernet. The combination gives the data link features of both Ethernet and PPP, in particular, the ability to forward the layer 2 Ethernet frames to the correct router, plus PPP authentication function of CHAP.

192
Q

What is Layer 2 protocol tunneling?

A

Another name for 802.1Q-in-Q.

193
Q

What is Common Spanning Tree?

A

A single instance of STP that is applied to multiple VLANs, typically when using the 802.1Q trunking standard.

194
Q

What is Spanning Tree Protocol?

A

Defined in IEEE 802.1d, a protocol used on LAN bridges and switches to dynamically define a logical network topology that allows all devices to be reached, but prevents the formation of loops

195
Q

Which STP setting determines how long a nonroot switch waits before trying to choose a new Root Port?

A

Maxage timer setting on the Root

196
Q

Assume that a nonroot 802.1d switch receives a Hello BPDU with the TCN flag set. Which STP setting determines how long the nonroot switch waits before timing out CAM entries?

A

When receiving a Hello with TCN set, the non-root switch uses an aggressive time-out value for CAM entries based on the advertised Forward Delay timer on the Root

197
Q

Assume that nonroot SW1 is blocking on a 802.1Q trunk connected to SW2. Both switches are in the same MST region. SW1 ceases to receive Hellos from SW2. What timers have an impact on how long SW1 takes to both become the Designated Port on that link and reach forwarding state?

A

Hello timer and Forward Delay timer settings on the Root. MST uses RSTP; RSTP waits three times the Hello time, as advertised in the Hello BPDU, before deciding to act.

199
Q

by sending a TCN BPDU. Why the notification is needed?

A

To trigger the process that causes all switches to use a short timer to help flush the CAM.

200
Q

What are the 802.1w port states

A

Discarding
