Chapter 3-3: Link Aggregation Flashcards
When a range of ports is being configured for EtherChannel, which mode will configure LACP so that it initiates the EtherChannel negotiation?
active
This command shows information about the status of the port involved in the Etherchannel.
Show interface fa0/2 etherchannel
This command shows information about the reliability of the port-channel.
Show interfaces port-channel1
This command is used to check what port channels are configured on a switch.
Show entherchannel summary
This command shows the list of ports involved in the port channel and the time since the ports were bundled.
Show etherchannel port-channel
What is an advantage of using LACP?
allows automatic formation of EtherChannel links
Which command will initiate EtherChannel interface configuration mode?
interface port-channel interface-identifier
PT: What are two [2] reasons why the ping messages that are issued from Laptop0 towards Laptop1 are failing?
The channel group should be configured as a trunk on each switch.
The two interfaces on each of the switches belong to different VLANs
Which three [3] options must match in order to establish an EtherChannel between two directly connected switches?
- speed of the interfaces that are used for EtherChannel
- VLAN memberships of the interfaces that are used for EtherChannel
- duplex settings of the interfaces that are used for EtherChannel
Which switching technology would allow each access layer switch link to be aggregated to provide more bandwidth between each Layer 2 switch and the Layer 3 switch?
EtherChannel
Which statement is true regarding the use of PAgP to create EtherChannels
It is Cisco proprietary.
Which PAgP mode combination will establish an EtherChannel?
switch 1 set to desirable; switch 2 set to desirable.
What is a best practice to use before beginning an EtherChannel implementation?
Shut down each of the affected interfaces.
Which two [2] protocols are link aggregation protocols?
- 802.3ad
2. PAgP
A network administrator has decided that an EtherChannel between ports 0/1 and 0/2 on switches S1 and S2 would help performance. After making the configuration, the administrator notices no performance gain. Based on the output that is shown, what two possible assumptions could a network administrator make? (Choose two.)
- One of the ports on S2 was not configured correctly.
2. The EtherChannel bundle is not working.
