Which protocol admin overhead in a switch network by allowing the configuring of a
new VLAN to be distributed to all the switches in a domain?
A. STP
B. VTP
C. GVRP
D. SNMP
E. DHCP

Answer: B
Explanation :
Sybex CCNA Study Guide 4th Edition (Page 359)
” The basic goals of VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) are to manage all configured VLANs
across a switched internetwork and to maintain consistency throughout that network. VTP
allows an administrator to add, delete, and rename VLANs—information that is then
propagated to all other switches in the VTP domain.”

QUESTION NO: 135

A catalyst switch must be in which VTP mode in order to delete and add VLANs to a
management domain?
A. Client
B. Server
C. Domains
D. Transparent
E. Designated.

Answer: B
Explanation:
VTP Modes
If you intend to make a switch part of a VTP management domain, each switch must be
configured in one of three possible VTP modes. The VTP mode assigned to a switch will
determine how the switch interacts with other VTP switches in the management domain. The
three VTP modes that can be assigned to a Cisco switch include server mode, client mode,
and transparent mode. Each of these roles is outlined below:
Server Mode Once VTP is configured on a Cisco switch, the default mode used is Server
Mode. In any given VTP management domain, at least one switch must be in Server Mode.
When in Server Mode, a switch can be used to add, delete, and modify VLANs, and this
information will be passed to all other switches in the VTP management domain.
Client Mode When a switch is configured to use VTP Client Mode, it is simply the
recipient of any VLANs added, deleted, or modified by a switch in Server Mode within the
same management domain. A switch in VTP client mode cannot make any changes to VLAN
information.
Transparent Mode A switch in VTP Transparent Mode will pass VTP updates received by
switches in Server Mode to other switches in the VTP management domain, but will not
actually process the contents of these messages. When individual VLANs are added, deleted,
or modified on a switch running in transparent mode, the changes are local to that particular
switch only, and are not passed to other switches in the VTP management domain.
Based on the roles of each VTP mode, the use of each should be more or less obvious. For
example, if you had 15 Cisco switches on your network, you could configure each of them to
be in the same VTP management domain. Although each could theoretically be left in the
default Server Mode, it would probably be easier to leave only one switch in this
configuration, and then configure all remaining switches for VTP Client Mode. Then, when
you need to add, delete, or modify a VLAN, that change can be carried out on the VTP
Server Mode switch and passed to all Client Mode switches automatically. In cases where
you need a switch to act in a relatively standalone manner, or dont want it to propagate
information about its configured VLANs, use Transparent Mode.

QUESTION NO: 218

Which of the following are considered VLAN benefits?
A. It increases the number of broadcast domains.
B. It decreases the number of broadcast domains.
C. It increases the number of collision domains.
D. It decreases the number of collision domains.
E. Since it is a virtual interface, it never shuts down.

Answer: A
Explanation: A VLAN is a logical broadcast domain that can span multiple physical LAN
segments. A VLAN can be designed to provide independent broadcast domains for stations
logically segmented by function, project teams, or application without regard to the physical
location of the users. Due to this the number of broadcast domains increase.
Incorrect Answers:
B: The broadcast domains actually increase not decrease.
C: There is no direct effect on collision domains.
D: There is no direct effect on collision domains.
E: Virtual interfaces can be shut down.

QUESTION NO: 230

You issued the show spantree e0/1 command which part of the output indicates that
virtual LAN1 (VLAN1) is functioning properly?
A. Root port is fast Ethernet 0/26.
B. Port Ethernet 0/1 of VLAN is forwarding.
C. Designated port is Ethernet 0/1, path cost 10.
D. Designated root has priority 0 address 00D0.588F.B600.
E. VLAN is executing the IEEE compatible spanning tree protocol.

Answer: E
Explanation: To determine if the VLAN is functioning properly on will need to examine the
first line of the output. That is, VLAN is executing the IEEE compatible spanning tree
protocol.
Incorrect Answers:
A: This line indicates what the switch thinks is the root port.
B: This line indicates which port is forwarding.
C: This line indicates the designated port and its associated cost.
D: This line indicated the MAC address of the designated root.

QUESTION NO: 253

If I have VLAN 3, and VLAN 4 configured on a Cisco Switch, and I would like to have
pc’s on VLAN 3
communicate with pc’s on VLAN 4. Which of the following will allow this inter-VLAN
communication to
take place?
A. It takes place through any Cisco router.
B. It takes place through a Cisco router than can run ISL.
C. It takes place through a router, but this disables all the router's Security and filtering
functionality for
the VLANs.
D. For nonroutable protocols, (e.g., NetBEUI) the router provides communications between
VLAN
domains.
E. Inter-VLAN communications is not possible because each VLAN is a separate broadcast
domain.

Answer: B
Explanation: In a switched environment, packets are switched only between ports
designated to be within the same “broadcast domain”. VLANs perform network portioning
and traffic separation at Layer 2. So, inter-VLAN communication cannot occur without a
Layer 3 device such as a router, because network layer (Layer 3) devices are responsible for
communicating between multiple broadcast domains. Note that, at Layer 2, an interface uses
ISL to communicate with a switch.
Incorrect Answers:
A: The router requires ISL.
C: The router does not change the security settings.
D: The router will not route a nonroutable protocol into the VLAN.
E: Without a router inter-VLAN communication is impossible.

QUESTION NO: 262

Which of the following can be used as methods that can be used to simplified network
management by implementing (VLANs)? (Choose four)
A. VLANs allow you to implement multiple layers switching easily.
B. VLAN can group several broadcasts domains into multiple logical subnets.
C. It is no longer necessary to install cables to move a user from a new network to another.
D. Network adds, moves and changes are achieved by configuring a port into a VLAN.
E. A group of users needing high security can be put into a VLAN so that no users outside
the VLANs can communicate with them.
F. As a logical grouping of users, VLANs can be considered independent from their physical
or geographic locations.

Answer: B, D, E, F
Explanation: The introduction of VLANs into a network has a number of benefits. The
benefits include: security, segmentation and flexibility. VLANs allow you to group users into
a common broadcast domain regardless or their physical location in the internetwork.
VLANs greater flexibility allows user to moved easily, changes to the network can be as
simple as configuring a port and security can be increased.
B: VLAN can group several broadcast domains into multiple logical subnets is a correct
choice.
Incorrect Answers:
A: VLANs add complexity to the switch configurations.
C: You still need to run cables to connect users to network.
