VLAN Trunks and EtherChannel Bundles Flashcards
What are four roles in the VTP architecture?
Server,
Client,
Transparent,
off.
Explain Server role in VTP!
The server switch is responsible for the creation, modification, and deletion of VLANs within the VTP domain.
Explain Client role in VTP!
The client switch receives VTP advertisements and modifies the VLANs on that switch.
Can VTP Client create VLAN’s?
VLANs cannot be configured locally on a VTP client.
Explain Transparent role in VTP!
VTP transparent switches receive and forward VTP advertisements but do not modify the local VLAN database. VLANs are configured only locally.
Explain Off role in VTP!
: A switch does not participate in VTP advertisements and does not forward them out of any ports either. VLANs are configured only locally.
VTP Versions 1 and 2 limited propagation to VLANs numbered …
1 - 1005
VTP Version 3 allows range of VLANs …
1 - 4094
VTP domain is Version 3, the primary VTP server must be set with the executive command
vtp primary
What are three main types of advertisements:
Summary,
Subset,
Client requests
What Summary advertisement in VTP contains and when it occurs?
This advertisement occurs every 300 seconds or when a VLAN is added, removed, or changed.
It includes the VTP version, domain, configuration revision number, and time stamp.
Subset advertisement in VTP?
This advertisement occurs after a VLAN configuration change occurs.
Client requests advertisement inv VTP?
This advertisement is a request by a client to receive more detailed subset advertisement. Typically, this occurs when a switch with a lower revision number joins the VTP domain
Steps for configuring VTP?
SW1(config)# vtp domain CiscoPress SW1(config)# vtp version 3 SW1(config)# vtp mode server Setting device to VTP Server mode for VLANS. SW1(config)# vtp password PASSWORD Setting device VTP password to PASSWORD
Show VTP revision number
show vtp status
It is very important that every switch that connects to a VTP domain has the VTP revision number reset to …
0 (zero)
There are three modes to use in setting a switch port to trunk?
Trunk (switchport mode trunk)
Dynamic desirable, (switchport mode dynamic desirable )
Dynamic auto. (switchport mode dynamic auto)
If both ends of a link are configured as dynamic auto, is trunk going to be established?
No, switchport mode dynamic auto does not advertises DTP packets.
Verify trunk port status on interface g1/0/1.
show interface g1/0/1 trunk
Show all trunk interfaces on a switch?
show interfaces trunk
What Interface command prevents that port from forming a trunk port with a dynamic desirable or dynamic auto?
switchport nonegotiate
Physical interfaces that are used to assemble the logical EtherChannel are called …
member interfaces
EtherChannels can be used for either Layer 2 (access or trunk) or Layer 3 (routed) forwarding? True or False?
True
Two common link aggregation protocols are …
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)
and
Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP is Cisco proprietary)
PAgP advertises messages with the multicast MAC address __________
and the protocol code __________
0100:0CCC:CCCC
0x0104
