QUESTION 2
What action should a network administrator take to enable VTP pruning on an entire management domain?
A. Enable VTP pruning on any client switch in the domain.
B. Enable VTP pruning on every switch in the domain.
C. Enable VTP pruning on any switch in the management domain.
D. Enable VTP pruning on a VTP server in the management domain.
Correct Answer: D
Section: Module 2: VLAN, PVLAN, Etherchannel
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:



VTP pruning should only be enabled on VTP servers, all the clients in the VTP domain will
automatically enable VTP pruning -> C is correct.
QUESTION 3
How does VTP pruning enhance network bandwidth?
A. by restricting unicast traffic across VTP domains
B. by reducing unnecessary flooding of traffic to inactive VLANs
C. by limiting the spreading of VLAN information
D. by disabling periodic VTP updates
Correct Answer: B
Section: Module 2: VLAN, PVLAN, Etherchannel
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Answer B.
Explanation
VTP Pruning makes more efficient use of trunk bandwidth by forwarding broadcast and
unknown unicast frames on a VLAN only if the switch on the receiving end of the trunk has
ports in that VLAN.
The following example shows the operation of a VTP domain without and with VTP Pruning.
Without VTP Pruning:

VTP domain without VTP
Pruning
When PC A sends a broadcast frame on VLAN 10, it travels across all trunk links in the VTP
domain. Switches Server, Sw2, and Sw3 all receive broadcast frames from PC A. But only
Sw3 has user on VLAN 10 and it is a waste of bandwidth on Sw2. Moreover, that broadcast
traffic also consumes processor time on Sw2. The link between switches Server and Sw2



does not carry any VLAN 10 traffic so it can be “pruned”.

VTP domain with VTP Pruning
QUESTION 4
In the hardware address 0000.0c07.ac0a, what does 07.ac represent?
A. vendor code
B. HSRP group number
C. HSRP router number
D. HSRP well-known physical MAC address
E. HSRP well-known virtual MAC address
Correct Answer: E
Section: Module 6: HSRP, VRRP, GLBP
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
HSRP code (HSRP well-known virtual MAC address)  The fact that the MAC address is for an HSRP virtual
router is indicated in the next two bytes of the address. The HSRP code is always 07.ac. The HSRP protocol
uses a virtual MAC address, which always contains the 07.ac numerical value.

The network operations center has received a call stating that users in VLAN 107 are unable to access
resources through router 1. What is the cause of this problem?



The network operations center has received a call stating that users in VLAN 107 are unable to access
resources through router 1. What is the cause of this problem?
A. VLAN 107 does not exist on switch A.
B. VTP is pruning VLAN 107.
C. VLAN 107 is not configured on the trunk.



D. Spanning tree is not enabled on VLAN 107.
Correct Answer: B
Section: Module 2: VLAN, PVLAN, Etherchannel
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Answer: B
Explanation:
“VLAN allowed on trunk” – Each trunk allows all VLANs by default. However, administrator
can remove or add to the list by using the “switchport trunk allowed” command.
“VLANs allowed and active in management” – To be active, a VLAN must be in this list.
“VLANs in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned” – This list is a subset of the
“allowed and active” list but with any VTP-pruned VLANs removed.
All VLANs were configured except VLAN 101 so D is not correct. VLAN 107 exists in the
“allowed and active” section so A and C are not correct, too. In the “forwarding state and not
pruned” we don’t see VLAN 107 so the administrator had wrongly configured this VLAN as
pruned.
QUESTION 6
Which protocol will enable a group of routers to form a single virtual router and will use the real IP address of a
router as the gateway address?
A. Proxy ARP
B. HSRP
C. IRDP
D. VRRP
E. GLBP



Correct Answer: D
Section: Module 6: HSRP, VRRP, GLBP
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) feature enables a group of routers to form a single virtual
router. The LAN clients can then be configured with the virtual router as their default gateway. The virtual
router, representing a group of routers, is also known as a VRRP group.
VRRP is defined in RFC 2338.

What can be determined about the HSRP relationship from the displayed debug output?
A. The preempt feature is not enabled on the 172.16.11.111 router.
B. The nonpreempt feature is enabled on the 172.16.11.112 router.
C. Router 172.16.11.111 will be the active router because its HSRP priority is preferred over router
172.16.11.112.
D. Router 172.16.11.112 will be the active router because its HSRP priority is preferred over router
172.16.11.111.
E. The IP address 172.16.11.111 is the virtual HSRP router IP address.
F. The IP address 172.16.11.112 is the virtual HSRP router IP address.
Correct Answer: A
Section: Module 6: HSRP, VRRP, GLBP
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
The standby preempt interface configuration command allows the router to become the active router when its
priority is higher than all other HSRP-configured routers in this Hot Standby group. The configurations of both
routers include this command so that each router can be the standby router for the other router. The 1 indicates
that this command applies to Hot Standby group 1. If you do not use the standby preempt command in the
configuration for a router, that router cannot become the active router.

Which statement about 802.1x port-based authentication is true?
A. Hosts are required to have an 802.1x authentication client or utilize PPPoE.
B. Before transmitting data, an 802.1x host must determine the authorization state of the switch.
C. RADIUS is the only supported authentication server type.
D. If a host initiates the authentication process and does not receive a response, it assumes it is not
authorized.
Correct Answer: C
Section: Module 7: Security, Dot1X
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
The IEEE 802.1x standard defines a port-based access control and authentication protocol that restricts
unauthorized workstations from connecting to a LAN through publicly accessible switch ports. The
authentication server authenticates each workstation that is connected to a switch port before making available
any services offered by the switch or the LAN. Until the workstation is authenticated, 802.1x access control
allows only Extensible Authentication Protocol over LAN (EAPOL) traffic through the port to which the
workstation is connected. After authentication succeeds, normal traffic can pass through the port.
Authentication server: Performs the actual authentication of the client. The authentication server validates the
identity of the client and notifies the switch whether or not the client is authorized to access the LAN and switch
services. Because the switch acts as the proxy, the authentication service is transparent to the client. The
RADIUS security system with Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) extensions is the only supported
authentication server.

C. The hosts learn the proper default gateway IP address from router A.
D. The hosts have different default gateway IP addresses and different MAC addresses for each router.
Correct Answer: B
Section: Module 6: HSRP, VRRP, GLBP
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
GLBP performs a similar, but not identical, function for the user as the HSRP and VRRP. Both HSRP and
VRRP protocols allow multiple routers to participate in a virtual router group configured with a virtual IP
address. One member is elected to be the active router to forward packets sent to the virtual IP address for the
group. The other routers in the group are redundant until the active router fails. With standard HSRP and
VRRP, these standby routers pass no traffic in normal operation - which is wasteful. Therefore the concept cam
about for using multiple virtual router groups, which are configured for the same set of routers. But to share the
load, the hosts must be configured for different default gateways, which results in an extra administrative
burden of going around and configuring every host and creating 2 or more groups of hosts that each use a
different default gateway.
GLBP is similar in that it provides load balancing over multiple routers (gateways) - but it can do this using only
ONE virtual IP address!!! Underneath that one virtual IP address is multiple virtual MAC addresses, and this is
how the load is balanced between the routers. Instead of the hassle of configuring all the hosts with a static
Default Gateway, you can lket them use ARP's to find their own. Multiple gateways in a "GLBP redundancy
group" respond to client Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) requests in a shared and ordered fashion, each
with their own unique virtual MAC addresses. As such, workstation traffic is divided across all possible
gateways. Each host is configured with the same virtual IP address, and all routers in the virtual router group
participate in forwarding packets

In the MAC address 0000.0c07.ac03, what does the "03" represent?
A. HSRP router number 3
B. Type of encapsulation
C. HSRP group number
D. VRRP group number
E. GLBP group number
Correct Answer: C
Section: Module 6: HSRP, VRRP, GLBP
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Each router keeps a unique MAC address for its interface. This MAC address is always associated with the
unique IP address configured on the interface. For the virtual router address, HSRP defines a special MAC
address of the form 0000.0c07.acxx, where xx represents the HSRP group number as a two-digit hex value.
For example, HSRP Group 1 appears as 0000.0c07.ac01, HSRP Group 16 appears as 0000.0c07.ac10.

Correct Answer: ACE
Section: Module 2: VLAN, PVLAN, Etherchannel
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
You can manually configure trunk links on Catalyst switches for either ISL or 802.1Q mode. In addition, Cisco
has implemented a proprietary, point-to-point protocol called Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) that negotiates
a common trunking mode between two switches. The negotiation covers the encapsulation (ISL or 802.1Q) as
well as whether the link becomes a trunk at all. You can configure the trunk encapsulation with the switchport
trunk encapsulation command, as one of the following:
• isl--VLANs are tagged by encapsulating each frame using the Cisco ISL protocol. • dot1q--VLANs are tagged
in each frame using the IEEE 802.1Q standard protocol. The only exception is the native VLAN, which is sent
normally and not tagged at all. • negotiate (the default)--The encapsulation is negotiated to select either ISL or
IEEE 802.1Q, whichever is supported by both ends of the trunk. If both ends support both types, ISL is favored.
(The Catalyst 2950 switch does not support ISL encapsulation.) In the switchport mode command, you can set
the trunking mode to any of the following:
• trunk--This setting places the port in permanent trunking mode. The corresponding switch port at the other
end of the trunk should be similarly configured because negotiation is not allowed. You should also manually
configure the encapsulation mode. • dynamic desirable (the default)--The port actively attempts to convert the



link into trunking mode. If the far-end switch port is configured to trunk, dynamic desirable, or dynamic auto
mode, trunking is successfully negotiated.
• dynamic auto--The port converts the link into trunking mode. If the far-end switch port is configured to trunk or
dynamic desirable, trunking is negotiated. Because of the passive negotiation behavior, the link never becomes
a trunk if both ends of the link are left to the dynamic auto default.

D. The global configuration command ip routing must be configured on the SW1 switch.



E. VLANs 10 and 15 must be created in the VLAN database mode.
F. VTP must be configured to support inter-VLAN routing.
Correct Answer: D
Section: Module 4: InterVLAN Routing, CEF
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
To transport packets between VLANs, you must use a Layer 3 device. Traditionally, this has been a router's
function. The router must have a physical or logical connection to each VLAN so that it can forward packets
between them. This is known as interVLAN routing. Multilayer switches can perform both Layer 2 switching and
interVLAN routing, as appropriate. Layer 2 switching occurs between interfaces that are assigned to Layer 2
VLANs or Layer 2 trunks. Layer 3 switching can occur between any type of interface, as long as the interface
can have a Layer 3 address assigned to it.
Switch(config)#ip routing command enables the routing on Layer 3 Swtich

D. The packets with the new source addresses are dropped until a sufficient number of secure MAC
addresses are removed from the secure address list.
Correct Answer: C
Section: Module 7: Security, Dot1X
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Port security is a feature supported on Cisco Catalyst switches that restricts a switch port to a specific set or
number of MAC addresses. Those addresses can be learned dynamically or configured statically. The port will
then provide access to frames from only those addresses. If, however, the number of addresses is limited to
four but no specific MAC addresses are configured, the port will allow any four MAC addresses to be learned
dynamically, and port access will be limited to those four dynamically learned addresses.
Port Security Implementation:



When Switch port security rules violate different action can be applied:
1. Protect: Frames from the nonallowed address are dropped, but there is no log of the violation.
2. Restrict: Frames from the nonallowed address are dropped, a log message is created, and a Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) trap is sent.
3. Shutdown: If any frames are seen from a nonallowed address, the interface is errdisabled, a log entry is
made, an SNMP trap is sent, and manual intervention or errdisable recovery must be used to make the
interface usable.

What happens to traffic within VLAN 14 with a source address of 172.16.10.5?
A. The traffic is forwarded to the TCAM for further processing.
B. The traffic is forwarded to the router processor for further processing.
C. The traffic is dropped.
D. The traffic is forwarded without further processing.
Correct Answer: C
Section: Module 7: Security, Dot1X
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
VLAN maps, also known as VLAN ACLs or VACLs, can filter all traffic traversing a switch. VLAN maps can be
configured on the switch to filter all packets that are routed into or out of a VLAN, or are bridged within a VLAN.
VLAN maps are used strictly for security packet filtering. Unlike router ACLs, VLAN maps are not defined by
direction (input or output).
To create a VLAN map and apply it to one or more VLANs, perform these steps:
• Create the standard or extended IP ACLs or named MAC extended ACLs to be applied to the VLAN. This
access-list will select the traffic that will be either forwarded or dropped by the access- map. Only traffic
matching the `permit' condition in an access-list will be passed to the access-map for further processing.
• Enter the vlan access-map access-map-name [sequence] global configuration command to create a VLAN
ACL map entry. Each access-map can have multiple entries. The order of these entries is determined by the
sequence. If no sequence number is entered, access-map entries are added with sequence numbers in
increments of 10.
• In access map configuration mode, optionally enter an action forward or action drop. The default is to forward
traffic. Also enter the match command to specify an IP packet or a non-IP packet (with only a known MAC
address), and to match the packet against one or more ACLs (standard or extended).
• Use the vlan filter access-map-name vlan-list vlan-list global configuration command to apply a VLAN map to
one or more VLANs. A single access-map can be used on multiple VLANs.
QUESTION 46
Which protocol allows for the automatic selection and simultaneous use of multiple available gateways as well
as automatic failover between those gateways?



A. IRDP
B. HSRP
C. GLBP
D. VRRP
Correct Answer: C
Section: Module 6: HSRP, VRRP, GLBP
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
To provide a virtual router, multiple switches (routers) are assigned to a common GLBP group. Rather than
having just one active router performing forwarding for the virtual router address, all routers in the group can
participate and offer load balancing by forwarding a portion of the overall traffic. The advantage is that none of
the clients have to be pointed toward a specific gateway address--they can all have the same default gateway
set to the virtual router IP address. The load balancing is provided completely through the use of virtual router
MAC addresses in ARP replies returned to the clients. As a client sends an ARP request looking for the virtual
router address, GLBP sends back an ARP reply with the virtual MAC address of a selected router in the group.
The result is that all clients use the same gateway address but have differing MAC addresses for it.

Correct Answer: CF
Section: Module 6: HSRP, VRRP, GLBP
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Basically, each of the routers that provides redundancy for a given gateway address is assigned to a common
HSRP group. One router is elected as the primary, or active, HSRP router, another is elected as the standby
HSRP router, and all the others remain in the listen HSRP state. The routers exchange HSRP hello messages
at regular intervals, so they can remain aware of each other's existence, as well as that of the active router.
HSRP election is based on a priority value (0 to 255) that is configured on each router in the group. By default,
the priority is 100. The router with the highest priority value (255 is highest) becomes the active router for the
group. If all router priorities are equal or set to the default value, the router with the highest IP address on the
HSRP interface becomes the active router. To set the priority, use the following interface configuration
command:
Switch(config-if)# standby group priority priority
When HSRP is configured on an interface, the router progresses through a series of states before becoming
active. This forces a router to listen for others in a group and see where it fits into the pecking order. The HSRP


state sequence is Disabled, Init, Listen, Speak, Standby, and, finally, Active.
You can configure a router to preempt or immediately take over the active role if its priority is the highest at any
time. Use the following interface configuration command to allow preemption:
Switch(config-if)# standby group preempt [delay seconds]
