2. What is the first action in the boot sequence when a switch is powered on?
a TFTP server
a crossover cable
access to another router
physical access to the router
4. When configuring a switch for SSH access, what other command that is
associated with the login local command is required to be entered on the switch?
1/29
5. Which command displays information about the auto-MDIX setting for a specific
interface?
show interfaces
show controllers
show processes
show running-config
Explanation: To examine the auto-MDIX setting for a specific interface, the show
controllers ethernet-controller command with the phy keyword should be used.
6. If one end of an Ethernet connection is configured for full duplex and the other
end of the connection is configured for half duplex, where would late collisions be
observed?
7. Which command is used to set the BOOT environment variable that defines
where to find the IOS image file on a switch?
config-register
boot system
boot loader
confreg
Explanation: The boot system command is used to set the BOOT environment variable.
The config-register and confreg commands are used to set the configuration register.
The boot loader command supports commands to format the flash file system, reinstall
the operating system software, and recover from a lost or forgotten password.
8. What does a switch use to locate and load the IOS image?
2/29
Explanation: The BOOT environment variable contains the information about where to
find the IOS image file.
FTP
HTTP
NetBEUI
POP
SSH
11. What is the minimum Ethernet frame size that will not be discarded by the
receiver as a runt frame?
64 bytes
512 bytes
1024 bytes
1500 bytes
Explanation: The minimum Ethernet frame size is 64 bytes. Frames smaller than 64
bytes are considered collision fragments or runt frames and are discarded.
12. After which step of the switch bootup sequence is the boot loader executed?
15. What is the significant difference between a hub and a Layer 2 LAN switch?
Explanation: Hubs operate only at the physical layer, forwarding bits as wire signals out
all ports, and extend the collision domain of a network. Switches forward frames at the
data link layer and each switch port is a separate collision domain which creates more,
but smaller, collision domains. Switches do not manage broadcast domains because
broadcast frames are always forwarded out all active ports.
16. Which statement is correct about Ethernet switch frame forwarding decisions?
Frame forwarding decisions are based on MAC address and port mappings in
the CAM table.
Cut-through frame forwarding ensures that invalid frames are always dropped.
Only frames with a broadcast destination address are forwarded out all active
switch ports.
Unicast frames are always forwarded regardless of the destination MAC address.
Explanation: Switches have large frame buffers that allow data waiting to be transmitted
to be stored so the data will not be dropped. This feature is beneficial especially if the
incoming traffic is from a faster port than the egress port used for transmitting.
18. Which switch characteristic helps keep traffic local and alleviates network
congestion?
Explanation: Switches that have a lot of ports (high port density) reduce the number of
switches required and keep some of the traffic locally on the switch, thus removing the
need to send it between switches.
19. Which switch component reduces the amount of packet handling time inside
the switch?
ASIC
dual processors
large buffer size
store-and-forward RAM
20. Refer to the exhibit. A switch receives a Layer 2 frame that contains a source
MAC address of 000b.a023.c501 and a destination MAC address of 0050.0fae.75aa.
Place the switch steps in the order they occur. (Not all options are used.)

and InterVLAN Routing Exam Answers
CCNA 2 v7 Modules 1 – 4: Switching Concepts, VLANs, and InterVLAN Routing Exam Answers 20
Explanation: The first step a switch does when processing a frame is to see if the source
MAC address is in the MAC address table. If the address is not there, the switch adds it.
The switch then examines the destination MAC address and compares it to the MAC
address table. If the address is in the table, the switch forwards the frame out the
corresponding port. If the address is missing from the table, the switch will forward the
frame to all ports except the port through which the frame arrived.
21. What information is added to the switch table from incoming frames?
source MAC address and incoming port number
destination MAC address and incoming port number
source IP address and incoming port number
destination IP address and incoming port number
6/29
Explanation: A switch “learns” or builds the MAC address table based on the source MAC
address as a frame comes into the switch. A switch forwards the frame onward based on
the destination MAC address.
22. Which switching method ensures that the incoming frame is error-free before
forwarding?
cut-through
FCS
fragment free
store-and-forward
23. Refer to the exhibit. How many broadcast domains are displayed?

Explanation: A router defines a broadcast boundary, so every link between two routers
is a broadcast domain. In the exhibit, 4 links between routers make 4 broadcast domains.
Also, each LAN that is connected to a router is a broadcast domain. The 4 LANs in the
exhibit result in 4 more broadcast domains, so there are 8 broadcast domains in all.
24. Under which two occasions should an administrator disable DTP while
managing a local area network? (Choose two.)
Explanation: Cisco best practice recommends disabling DTP on links where trunking is
not intended and when a Cisco switch is connected to a non-Cisco switch. DTP is
required for dynamic trunk negotiation.
25. Which two characteristics describe the native VLAN? (Choose two.)
Designed to carry traffic that is generated by users, this type of VLAN is also known
as the default VLAN.
The native VLAN traffic will be untagged across the trunk link.
This VLAN is necessary for remote management of a switch.
High priority traffic, such as voice traffic, uses the native VLAN.
The native VLAN provides a common identifier to both ends of a trunk.
26. On a switch that is configured with multiple VLANs, which command will
remove only VLAN 100 from the switch?
Explanation: To remove all VLANs from a switch, the delete flash:vlan.dat command
would be used. To change the assigned VLAN for an interface, the no switchport access
vlan 100 interface configuration command would be used. To remove VLAN 100 as an
allowed VLAN on a trunk, the no switchport trunk allowed vlan 100 would be used, but
this would not remove the VLAN from the switch. To delete a single VLAN, such as VLAN
100, the no vlan 100 global configuration command would be used.
27. Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator is reviewing port and VLAN
assignments on switch S2 and notices that interfaces Gi0/1 and Gi0/2 are not
included in the output. Why would the interfaces be missing from the output?
Explanation: Interfaces that are configured as trunks do not belong to a VLAN and
therefore will not show in the output of the show vlan brief commands.
28. A network contains multiple VLANs spanning multiple switches. What happens
when a device in VLAN 20 sends a broadcast Ethernet frame?
9/29
Devices in VLAN 20 and the management VLAN see the frame.
Only devices in VLAN 20 see the frame.
Only devices that are connected to the local switch see the frame.
Explanation: VLANs create logical broadcast domains that can span multiple VLAN
segments. Ethernet frames that are sent by a device on a specific VLAN can only be seen
by other devices in the same VLAN.
29. Refer to the exhibit. All workstations are configured correctly in VLAN 20.
Workstations that are connected to switch SW1 are not able to send traffic to
workstations on SW2. What could be done to remedy the problem?
CCNA2 v7 SRWE – Modules 1 – 4 Switching Concepts, VLANs, and InterVLAN Routing Exam Answers 29
Explanation: Enabling DTP on both switches simply allows negotiation of trunking. The
“Negotiation of Trunking” line in the graphic shows that DTP is already enabled. The
graphic also shows how the native VLAN is 1, and the default VLAN for any Cisco switch is
1. The graphic shows the PCs are to be in VLAN 20.
30. What happens to switch ports after the VLAN to which they are assigned is
deleted?

34. Port Fa0/11 on a switch is assigned to VLAN 30. If the command no switchport
access vlan 30 is entered on the Fa0/11 interface, what will happen?
12/29
Explanation: When the no switchport access vlan command is entered, the port is
returned to the default VLAN 1. The port will remain active as a member of VLAN 1, and
VLAN 30 will still be intact, even if no other ports are associated with it.
35. Which command displays the encapsulation type, the voice VLAN ID, and the
access mode VLAN for the Fa0/1 interface?
36. Refer to the exhibit. A technician is programming switch SW3 to manage voice
and data traffic through port Fa0/20. What, if anything, is wrong with the
configuration?
Explanation: The voice VLAN should be configured with the switchport voice vlan
150 command. A switch interface can be configured to support one data VLAN and one
voice VLAN. The mls qos trust cos associates with the interface. Voice traffic must be
trusted so that fields within the voice packet can be used to classify it for QoS.
37. Which four steps are needed to configure a voice VLAN on a switch port?
(Choose four).
38. Refer to the exhibit. PC1 is unable to communicate with server 1. The network
administrator issues the show interfaces trunk command to begin
troubleshooting. What conclusion can be made based on the output of this
command?
CCNA2 v7 Modules 1 – 4 Switching Concepts, VLANs, and InterVLAN Routing Exam Answers 38
14/29
Interface G0/2 is not configured as a trunk.
VLAN 20 has not been created.
The encapsulation on interface G0/1 is incorrect.
The DTP mode is incorrectly set to dynamic auto on interface G0/1.
Explanation: In the show interfaces trunk output, the G0/2 interface of DLS1 is not
listed. This indicates the interface has probably not been configured as a trunk link. In
the show interfaces trunk output, the G0/2 interface of DLS1 is not listed. This indicates
the interface has probably not been configured as a trunk link.

40. Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator has configured router CiscoVille
with the above commands to provide inter-VLAN routing. What command will be
required on a switch that is connected to the Gi0/0 interface on router CiscoVille
to allow inter-VLAN routing?
15/29
CCNA2 v7 Modules 1 – 4 Switching Concepts, VLANs, and InterVLAN Routing Exam Answers

Explanation: When they are configured for inter-VLAN routing, routers do not support
the dynamic trunking protocol that is used by switches. For router-on-a-stick
configurations to function, a connected switch must use the command switchport
mode trunk.
41. A high school uses VLAN15 for the laboratory network and VLAN30 for the
faculty network. What is required to enable communication between these two
VLANs while using the router-on-a-stick approach?
42. When routing a large number of VLANs, what are two disadvantages of using
the router-on-a-stick inter-VLAN routing method rather than the multilayer switch
inter-VLAN routing method? (Choose two.)

no shutdown
Explanation: By default all router interfaces are shut down. To bring the interfaces up,
an administrator must issue the no shutdown command in interface mode.
71. Refer to the exhibit. The network administrator wants to configure Switch1 to
allow SSH connections and prohibit Telnet connections. How should the network
administrator change the displayed configuration to satisfy the requirement?
Explanation: Switches provide microsegmentation so that one device does not compete
for the same Ethernet network bandwidth with another network device, thus practically
eliminating collisions. A high port density switch provides very fast connectivity for many
devices.
73. Which two statements are correct with respect to SVI inter-VLAN routing?
(Choose two.)
Explanation: The SVI inter-VLAN routing method is faster than other methods. The
switch can route the existing VLANs without the need for a router.

75. Which type of VLAN is used to designate which traffic is untagged when
crossing a trunk port?
data
default
native
management
Explanation: A native VLAN is the VLAN that does not receive a VLAN tag in the IEEE
802.1Q frame header. Cisco best practices recommend the use of an unused VLAN (not a
data VLAN, the default VLAN of VLAN 1, or the management VLAN) as the native VLAN
whenever possible.
76. A network administrator issues the show vlan brief command while
troubleshooting a user support ticket. What output will be displayed?
27/29
the VLAN assignment and membership for device MAC addresses
the VLAN assignment and membership for all switch ports
