What protocols are used to configure trunking on a switch?
VLAN
The network administrator wants to configure a switch to pass vlan update information to other switches in the domain but not update its own local vlan database which two steps should the administrat?
Configure the VTP mode of the switch to transparent. Configure the switch with the same VTP domain name as other switches in the network.
What is the purpose of the switch command switch port access vlan 99?
the switchport access vlan 99 command is used to designate a specific VLAN for a switch port, allowing you to control how traffic on that port is treated and segregated from traffic on other ports and VLANs in the network. This is a fundamental configuration step in building and managing VLANs within a network infrastructure.
What is the command used to assign switch user port?
switchport access vlan vlanID
What is the purpose of issuing the command switch-port mode access on a switch interface?
force the port to be a part of a single vlan
How do you create VLAN step-by-step?
AnswerVLANs are created on Layer 2 switches to control broadcasts and enforce the use of a Layer 3 device for communications. Each VLAN is created in the local switch's database for use. If a VLAN is not known to a switch, that switch cannot transfer traffic across any of its ports for that VLAN. VLANs are created by number, and there are two ranges of usable VLAN numbers (normal range 1-1000 and extended range 1025-4096). When a VLAN is created, you can also give it certain attributes such as a VLAN name, VLAN type, and its operational state. To create a VLAN, use the following steps.1) Configure VTP. VTP is a protocol used by Cisco switches to maintain a consistent database between switches for trunking purposes. VTP is not required to create VLANs; however, Cisco has set it up to act as a conduit for VLAN configuration between switches as a default to make administration of VLANs easier. Because of this, you must first either configure VTP with a domain name or disable VTP on the switch.2) Create the VLAN. VLANs are created by number. The two ranges of VLANs are as follows: The standard range consists of VLANs 1 to 1000. The extended range consists of VLANs 1025 to 4096. Extended VLANs are currently supported only on switches running COS software version 6.1 or greater. When you create a VLAN, you have many options to consider. Many options are valid only for FDDI and Token Ring VLANs. Some of the items configured deal with options, such as private VLANs, which are discussed in other sections in this book. VLANs are created using the set vlan command for COS devices or with the vlan command in vlan database mode for IOS switches.
When inter VLAN routing is used how are the switch ports that link to the router configured?
switch(config)#int type <no> switch(config-if)#switchport mode trunk switch(config-if)#switchport trunk allowed vlan all/vlan no switch(config-if)#exit switch(config)#exit switch#
What are two characteristics of VLAN1 in a default switch configuration?
VLAN 1 is the management VLAN. All switch ports are members of VLAN1.
Where would the management IP address be configured on the switch in order to mange a Cisco swicth using Telnet?
The Management IP address will be configured on the Default Management VLAN (vlan1). Make sure to do a "no shutdown" command on the VLAN as for it is placed into the shutdown state when first configured. Also for telnet you will need to configure the Virtual Terminal Lines just as a regular Cisco Router. If more functionality is needed other than Telnet more configuration maybe needed depending on what switch is being used.
Where is the information of a newly created VLAN stored on a switch?
NVRAM
The network administrator needs to remove the east-hosts vlan and use the switch port from that vlan in one of the existing vlans what two commands should be used when completely removing vlan 2 from?
no vlan XXX copy run star
What two methods avoid unintentional VLAN database corruption when adding a new switch?
1) reset the revision number before installing. 2) have a backup switch with existing VLAN data.
