Q

What is the difference between VTP versions 1 and 2 vs. 3?

A
  • Versions 1 and 2 support VLANs 1 - 1005
  • Version 3 supports VLANs 1 - 4094
  • In VTP version 3 its not enough to be a VTP server, you also have to run the user exec command ‘vtp primary’

Q

What is a Client Request Advertisement?

A
  • Occurs when a switch with a lower revision number joins the domain and sees advertisements with higher revision numbers than it has
  • Client is asking for more detailed information.

21
Q

By default what operating mode do PAgP ports operate in?

A

Silent mode

22
Q

What does PAgP silent mode do?

A

It allows formation of an Etherchannel even though the other side might not be PAgP

23
Q

What does PAgP non-silent mode do?

A

Requires a port to receive a PAgP packet before adding it to an Etherchannel.

24
Q

Which PAgP mode forms an Etherchannel faster - silent or non-silent?

A

Non-silent mode

25
Q

How often does standard LACP send out LACP packets?

A

Every 30 seconds.

26
Q

How often does LACP Fast send out packets?

A

Once every second.

27
Q

What state will an LACP port channel be in when the minimum number of links is not met?

A

Not in Use

28
Q

When configuring an LACP port channel for minumum number of links does that configuration need to be made on both sides?

A

No, but it is recommended.

29
Q

What is a reason for configuring a minimum number of links in an Etherchannel?

A

To accommodate load-balancing hashes

30
Q

In LACP where does the maximum number of interfaces need to be configured?

A

Only on the master switch but best practices say on both switches

31
Q

How does the Master switch determine which member interfaces to make active when there are more than the maximum interfaces available?

A

By examining the LACP Port Priority. Lower priority is preferred. If there is a tie then lower interface number is preferred.

32
Q

In LACP what determines which switch is the Master Switch?

A

The master switch is the switch with the lowest LACP System Priority.

33
Q

How is the LACP System Priority configured?

A

SW1#config t
SW1(config)#lacp system-priority 1

34
Q

What role does LACP Port Priority play?

A

It allows the Master LACP switch to determine which interfaces are active when there are more than the maximum number in the LACP port channel.

35
Q

What 9 parameters must match in order for interfaces to be members of the same port channel?

A
  • Load Interval
  • Storm Control
  • Speed
  • Duplex
  • Access/Trunk
  • Native VLAN
  • Allowed VLANs
  • L2 / L3
  • MTU
36
Q

When troubleshooting an Etherchannel what 5 things should be checked?

A
  • Between 2 devices only
  • All member ports are up/up
  • Both ends are statically configured with LACP/PAgP active on at least one side
  • All member ports are configured exactly the same
  • LACP or PAgP packets are being exchanged
37
Q

How is Load Balancing done on an Etherchannel?

A

Based on a Hash which runs on various packet header fields.

38
Q

What 5 things can the load balancing Hash be based on to Load Balance on an Etherchannel?

A
  • MAC
  • IP Address
  • TCP/UDP
  • IP Address and TCP/UDP
  • Source or Destination
39
Q

Is the Load Balancing method specific to a port channel or to the system?

A

The system.

40
Q

Why should Etherchannels be configured in multiples of 2?

A

To make Load Balancing more effective.

41
Q

Which protocol allows you to specify the maximum number of links in an Etherchannel?

A

LACP
