%efer to the e&hi'it. A company has ac)uired a new office in a campus environment. Switches in
the e&isting office and the new office are directly connected 'y a trunk link. -he (LANs and P

What is the cause of this pro'lem?
-here is a native (LAN mismatch.
-he 7a89// interface of Switch/ is not configured as a trunk.
-he link 'etween Switch/ and Switch2 is up 'ut not trunked.
(LAN *8 is not allowed on the trunk link 'etween Switch/ and Switch2.

16. =sing the command copy tftp:backp!cf" #ta$tp%co&f'"0 an administrator downloaded a
saved configuration from a -7-P server to a switch. Why does the administrator not detect any
changes in the switch configuration after the download completes?
-he command should have 'een copy #ta$tp%co&f'" tftp:backp!cf".
A 'ackup configuration from a -7-P server cannot 'e copied directly into the startup.config.
-he command copy $&&'&"%co&f'" #ta$tp%co&f'" should 'e used to save the changes on the
switch.
!ownloading to the startup.config re)uires the switch to 'e reloaded in order for the
configuration to take effect.

entries.
-he )$a#) f(a#+ command will clear all statically configured ta'le entries.
Statically configured #A$ addresses will automatically 'e removed from the address ta'le ,88
minutes after the last activity on a switch port.

18. Which type of traffic can still 'e received on a switch interface that is in S-P 'locking
mode?
2P!= frames
multicast frames
'roadcast frames
Layer , packets

19. Which method esta'lishes an administrative connection for configuring the Linksys
W%-,88N wireless access point?

Physically connect to the access point and then re'oot the computer to launch the configuration
software.
7rom a computer in the same P su'net as the access point0 enter the default P address of the
access point in a we' 'rowser.
#odify the -$P9P properties of the computer connected to the access point so that it e&ists on

-he t$a&#po$t '&pt command must specify -elnet access.
-he %SA keys must 'e returned to ?ero 'efore SS1 will permit -elnet access.
-he 'p -o,a'&%&a,) command must also 'e entered in line configuration mode for the vty
lines.

27.
%efer to the e&hi'it. -he devices in the network are operational and configured as indicated in
the e&hi'it. 1owever0 hosts 2 and ! cannot ping each other. What is the most likely cause of this
pro'lem?

switches?
SS1 uses -$P whereas -elnet does not.
SS1 encrypts only the username and password when logging in.
SS1 encrypts all remote management communications whereas -elnet does not.
SS1 sends a clear te&t message steam which reduces the 'andwidth use for management.

the network.

31. A network administrator configures a switch port with the command #*'tc+po$t ,o-)
-y&a,'c ato. What is the resulting 'ehavior of the switch port?
-he switch port is a'le to trunk if the remote switch port is set to auto.

assignment for the port.
1ost A maintains connectivity to all mem'ers of (LAN /80 'ecause it is connected to the same
physical network.
1ost A is no longer a mem'er of (LAN /80 'ut 'ecause port 7a89, was unused0 it is now a
mem'er of (LAN /.

N(%A#.
$reate a new domain and configure a second switch as a (-P server to take over in case of a
primary (-P server failure.
n the same domain0 configure a second switch as a (-P server to take over in case of a primary
(-P server failure.

49.
%efer to the e&hi'it. 1ow does SW/ manage traffic coming from 1ost A?
SW/ drops the traffic 'ecause it is untagged.
SW/ leaves the traffic untagged and forwards it over the trunk.
SW/ tags the traffic with the lowest (LAN ! value and forwards it over the trunk link.
SW/ encapsulates the traffic with 682./@ encapsulation and forwards it over the trunk link.

50. An administrator is trou'leshooting a P$ on the network which is suffering from slow and
intermittent connectivity. -he P$ has a ping success rate to the default gateway of less than half
the ping attempts. Ather P$s on the switch can consistently ping the default gateway. -he switch
port is configured for auto duple& and the P$ is configured for full duple&. What will commonly
cause this pro'lem?
-he P$ is set to full duple&. -he switch port fails to autonegotiate the duple& setting and defaults
to half duple&0 which causes a duple& mismatch.
-he switch traffic is e&ceeding availa'le frame 'uffers. -he result is that frames are 'eing
dropped.
-he P$ and the default gateway have different 'andwidth "thernet ports.
-he default gateway is not on the same switch that the P$ is.

51.
%efer to the e&hi'it. A network administrator has segmented the network into two (LANs and
configured %outer/ for inter.(LAN routing. A test of the network0 however0 shows that hosts on
each (LAN can only access local resources and not resources on the other (LAN. What is the
most likely cause of this pro'lem?
Switch port 7a89/ is not trunking.
%outer interface 7a898 is possi'ly down.
No routing protocol is configured on %outer/.
Ane of the router su'interfaces is possi'ly down.

52. What impact does the use of the ,-'. ato configuration command have on an "thernet
interface on a switch?
automatically detects duple& settings
automatically detects interface speed
automatically detects copper ca'le type
automatically assigns the first detected #A$ address to an interface
