Port priority

What logical operation is performed to calculate EtherChannel load balancing as a function of two addresses?

AND

XOR

NOR

Which of the following is not a characteristic of MST?

Interoperability with PVST+

Which of the following is not a valid method for EtherChannel load balancing?

What is the purpose of breaking a campus network into a hierarchical design?

To make the network predictable and scalable

To facilitate documentation

To follow political or organizational policies

To make the network more redundant and secure

When a switch running RSTP receives an 802.1D BPDU, what happens?

The BPDU is discarded or dropped.

An ICMP message is returned.

The switch begins to use 802.1D rules on that port.

The switch disables RSTP.

If Fast Ethernet ports are bundled into an EtherChannel, what is the maximum throughput supported on a Catalyst switch?

100 Mbps

200 Mbps

a. 100 Mbps–
b. 200 Mbps
c.
400 Mbps

800 Mbps

1600 Mbps

Which process is used during RSTP convergence?

BPDU propagation

Synchronization

Forward timer expiration

BPDU

When port-based authentication is enabled globally, what is the default behavior for all switch ports?

Authenticate users before enabling the port.

Allow all connections without authentication.

Do not allow any connections.

There is no default behavior.

Which of these methods distributes traffic over an EtherChannel?

Round robin

A function of address

Least-used link

A function of packet size

Which of the following standards defines the MST protocol?

802.1Q

What type of interface represents an EtherChannel as a whole?

Channel

Which of the following arrangements can be considered interVLAN routing?

One switch, two VLANs, one connection to a router.–

One switch, two VLANs, two connections to a router.

Two switches, two VLANs, two connections to a router.

All of these answers are correct.

Assume that CEF is active on a switch. What happens to a packet that arrives needing fragmentation?

The packet is switched by CEF and kept intact.

The packet is fragmented by CEF.

The packet is dropped.

The packet is sent to the Layer 3 engine.

How can the EtherChannel load-balancing method be set?

Per EtherChannel

Per switch port

Globally per switch

Can’t be configured
