What else can I help you with?
Which three statements are correct concerning the default configuration of a new switch?
It is configured in VTP server mode. STP is automatically enabled. All switch ports are assigned to VLAN1.
What is the significance of assigning the IP address to the VLAN1 interface instead of any of the FastEthernet interfaces?
Assigning the IP address to the VLAN1 interface instead of any of the FastEthernet interfaces is significant because VLAN1 serves as the management interface for the switch. This allows for better network management and configuration since the IP address is tied to the VLAN rather than to individual physical ports. Additionally, it simplifies network administration by providing a single point of access for management tasks, ensuring that VLAN-specific traffic can be routed correctly. This design enhances scalability and organization in a network environment.
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.
Which command or commands will configure a catalyst 2950 switch with the IP address 192.168.10.2?
ALSwitch(config)# interface vlan1 ALSwitch(config-if)# ip address 192.168.10.2 255.255.255.0
Which port can you make as trunk port?
Usually Port1 VLAN1 is deafult Trunk Port
What is virtual in a VLAN?
VLAN stands for Virtual LAN. It is called as such because you are essentially creating "virtual" networks on the same physical piece of hardware. Imagine a network switch with 20 ports. You could assign the first 5 to VLAN1, the next to VLAN2, and so on. You would end up with 4 segregated networks, but on the same physical switch. The virtual in VLAN is referring to the fact that there is nothing phsically separating the ports on the switch, it is done "virtually".
