Question 240

A switch-to-switch uplink must dynamically negotiate DTP because a rotating training rig uses compatible dynamic peers; both ends are dynamic auto and never form a trunk. Do not hard-code an unconditional trunk on this lab link. During troubleshooting: The link remains an access link despite both sides being enabled for dynamic trunking. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. Both sides are passive in DTP dynamic auto; neither proposes trunking to the other.
  2. Dynamic trunk negotiation was left enabled on a workstation-facing interface.
  3. The trunk allowed VLAN filter omits VLAN30 despite the VLAN existing on both switches.
  4. The switchport modes are incompatible for the intended 802.1Q trunk.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The actual technical cause is: Both sides are passive in DTP dynamic auto; neither proposes trunking to the other. It specifically explains the observation: the link remains an access link despite both sides being enabled for dynamic trunking. The correcting configuration is: set one switch port to dynamic desirable so it actively proposes DTP trunking to the peer in dynamic auto mode.

Incorrect Answers

B:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: An unauthorized switch negotiates a trunk and carries unintended tagged traffic from an endpoint port. Here the recorded observation is: the link remains an access link despite both sides being enabled for dynamic trunking. The applicable cause is: both sides are passive in DTP dynamic auto; neither proposes trunking to the other.

C:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: VLAN10 and VLAN20 traverse the link but hosts in VLAN30 cannot reach their remote gateway. Here the recorded observation is: the link remains an access link despite both sides being enabled for dynamic trunking. The applicable cause is: both sides are passive in DTP dynamic auto; neither proposes trunking to the other.

D:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: One side reports trunking while the peer forwards frames as an access port. Here the recorded observation is: the link remains an access link despite both sides being enabled for dynamic trunking. The applicable cause is: both sides are passive in DTP dynamic auto; neither proposes trunking to the other.

Question 241

A switch-to-switch uplink must dynamically negotiate DTP because a rotating training rig uses compatible dynamic peers; both ends are dynamic auto and never form a trunk. Do not hard-code an unconditional trunk on this lab link. The initial change is: Set one switch port to dynamic desirable so it actively proposes DTP trunking to the peer in dynamic auto mode. Which continuing control most directly prevents a recurrence of the documented problem: The link remains an access link despite both sides being enabled for dynamic trunking.

  1. Review native VLAN consistency and avoid using untrusted end-user access VLANs as trunk native.
  2. Enforce port-role templates and audit DTP state when users repatch endpoints.
  3. Prefer explicit trunk settings in infrastructure links and check changes at both endpoints.
  4. Document which side actively negotiates DTP and never depend on auto/auto passive negotiation for a required dynamic trunk.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The continuing protective control is: Document which side actively negotiates DTP and never depend on auto/auto passive negotiation for a required dynamic trunk. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: both sides are passive in DTP dynamic auto; neither proposes trunking to the other. The corresponding operational check is: inspect DTP negotiation counters and confirm the operational mode becomes trunk while the opposite port remains dynamic auto.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That control reduces a separate risk: The trunk ends disagree on native VLAN, causing untagged frame classification mismatch. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: both sides are passive in DTP dynamic auto; neither proposes trunking to the other. The specific required safeguard is: document which side actively negotiates DTP and never depend on auto/auto passive negotiation for a required dynamic trunk.

B:

That control reduces a separate risk: Dynamic trunk negotiation was left enabled on a workstation-facing interface. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: both sides are passive in DTP dynamic auto; neither proposes trunking to the other. The specific required safeguard is: document which side actively negotiates DTP and never depend on auto/auto passive negotiation for a required dynamic trunk.

C:

That control reduces a separate risk: The switchport modes are incompatible for the intended 802.1Q trunk. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: both sides are passive in DTP dynamic auto; neither proposes trunking to the other. The specific required safeguard is: document which side actively negotiates DTP and never depend on auto/auto passive negotiation for a required dynamic trunk.

Question 242

A new 802.1Q trunk is running but a VLAN cannot pass because the VLAN is administratively suspended. The incident evidence is: The VLAN appears in the allowed list but not in the active VLAN set. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Configure the port as a static access port in the intended VLAN and disable DTP negotiation where supported.
  2. Add VLAN30 to the correct trunk allowed list on the relevant link while retaining approved existing VLANs.
  3. Set the same authorized native VLAN on both ends of the trunk and avoid carrying unrelated user traffic untagged.
  4. Activate and verify the VLAN in the local VLAN database after ensuring it is approved on the trunk.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The required correction is: Activate and verify the VLAN in the local VLAN database after ensuring it is approved on the trunk. The underlying failure mechanism is: An inactive or missing VLAN in the switch VLAN database prevents forwarding on the trunk. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: compare allowed, active and STP-forwarding VLAN sets in `show interfaces trunk` output.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Configuring the port as a static access port in the intended VLAN and disable DTP negotiation where supported would not activate and verify the VLAN in the local VLAN database after ensuring it is approved on the trunk.

B:

Adding VLAN30 to the correct trunk allowed list on the relevant link while retaining approved existing VLANs would not activate and verify the VLAN in the local VLAN database after ensuring it is approved on the trunk.

C:

Setting the same authorized native VLAN on both ends of the trunk and avoid carrying unrelated user traffic untagged would not activate and verify the VLAN in the local VLAN database after ensuring it is approved on the trunk.

Question 243

A new 802.1Q trunk is running but a VLAN cannot pass because the VLAN is administratively suspended. The proposed remedy is: Activate and verify the VLAN in the local VLAN database after ensuring it is approved on the trunk. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Compare native VLAN outputs and native-VLAN mismatch log messages after a controlled fix.
  2. Compare allowed, active and STP-forwarding VLAN sets in `show interfaces trunk` output.
  3. Verify the operational mode remains access when a test device sends DTP frames.
  4. Check `show interfaces trunk` permits VLAN30 at both ends and test VLAN30 end-to-end.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Compare allowed, active and STP-forwarding VLAN sets in `show interfaces trunk` output. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: the VLAN appears in the allowed list but not in the active VLAN set.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This test measures a different behavior: Compare native VLAN outputs and native-VLAN mismatch log messages after a controlled fix. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: compare allowed, active and STP-forwarding VLAN sets in `show interfaces trunk` output.

C:

This test measures a different behavior: Verify the operational mode remains access when a test device sends DTP frames. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: compare allowed, active and STP-forwarding VLAN sets in `show interfaces trunk` output.

  1. The trunk ends disagree on native VLAN, causing untagged frame classification mismatch.
  2. The trunk allowed VLAN filter omits VLAN30 despite the VLAN existing on both switches.
  3. An inactive or missing VLAN in the switch VLAN database prevents forwarding on the trunk.
  4. Dynamic trunk negotiation was left enabled on a workstation-facing interface.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The actual technical cause is: An inactive or missing VLAN in the switch VLAN database prevents forwarding on the trunk. It specifically explains the observation: the VLAN appears in the allowed list but not in the active VLAN set. The correcting configuration is: activate and verify the VLAN in the local VLAN database after ensuring it is approved on the trunk.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Frames from untagged VLAN99 are placed into the wrong VLAN by the neighbor. Here the recorded observation is: the VLAN appears in the allowed list but not in the active VLAN set. The applicable cause is: an inactive or missing VLAN in the switch VLAN database prevents forwarding on the trunk.

B:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: VLAN10 and VLAN20 traverse the link but hosts in VLAN30 cannot reach their remote gateway. Here the recorded observation is: the VLAN appears in the allowed list but not in the active VLAN set. The applicable cause is: an inactive or missing VLAN in the switch VLAN database prevents forwarding on the trunk.

Question 245

A new 802.1Q trunk is running but a VLAN cannot pass because the VLAN is administratively suspended. The initial change is: Activate and verify the VLAN in the local VLAN database after ensuring it is approved on the trunk. Which continuing control most directly prevents a recurrence of the documented problem: The VLAN appears in the allowed list but not in the active VLAN set.

  1. Review native VLAN consistency and avoid using untrusted end-user access VLANs as trunk native.
  2. Reconcile permitted trunk VLANs with active VLAN creation and STP state.
  3. Version-control trunk allowlists and compare both ends during VLAN additions.
  4. Enforce port-role templates and audit DTP state when users repatch endpoints.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The continuing protective control is: Reconcile permitted trunk VLANs with active VLAN creation and STP state. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: an inactive or missing VLAN in the switch VLAN database prevents forwarding on the trunk. The corresponding operational check is: compare allowed, active and STP-forwarding VLAN sets in `show interfaces trunk` output.

Question 246

A security audit finds dynamic trunk negotiations on an endpoint-facing switch port used for a single workstation. The incident evidence is: An unauthorized switch negotiates a trunk and carries unintended tagged traffic from an endpoint port. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Set the same authorized native VLAN on both ends of the trunk and avoid carrying unrelated user traffic untagged.
  2. Set a compatible explicit trunking mode on the intended switch-to-switch link and use correct VLAN/tagging settings.
  3. Set one switch port to dynamic desirable so it actively proposes DTP trunking to the peer in dynamic auto mode.
  4. Configure the port as a static access port in the intended VLAN and disable DTP negotiation where supported.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The required correction is: Configure the port as a static access port in the intended VLAN and disable DTP negotiation where supported. The underlying failure mechanism is: Dynamic trunk negotiation was left enabled on a workstation-facing interface. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: verify the operational mode remains access when a test device sends DTP frames.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Setting the same authorized native VLAN on both ends of the trunk and avoid carrying unrelated user traffic untagged would not configure the port as a static access port in the intended VLAN and disable DTP negotiation where supported.

B:

Setting a compatible explicit trunking mode on the intended switch-to-switch link and using correct VLAN/tagging settings would not configure the port as a static access port in the intended VLAN and disable DTP negotiation where supported.

Question 250

Two Catalyst switches are to bundle two parallel links by LACP; one side uses channel-group mode active and the peer uses passive. The incident evidence is: One link is individual despite physical link-up when both peers switch to passive mode. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Configure compatible EtherChannel negotiation protocol and modes at both peers rather than mixing LACP and PAgP.
  2. Retain at least one LACP active participant and match the channel group parameters and port attributes.
  3. Make physical member switchport settings consistent with the port-channel configuration.
  4. Use a supported port-channel with acceptable minimum-link requirements for the intended redundancy policy.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The required correction is: Retain at least one LACP active participant and match the channel group parameters and port attributes. The underlying failure mechanism is: Two LACP passive peers never initiate the negotiation needed to form the bundle. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: check `show etherchannel summary` shows bundled P members and the expected LACP neighbor.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Configuring compatible EtherChannel negotiation protocol and modes at both peers rather than mixing LACP and PAgP would not retain at least one LACP active participant and match the channel group parameters and port attributes.

C:

Making physical member switchport settings consistent with the port-channel configuration would not retain at least one LACP active participant and match the channel group parameters and port attributes.

D:

Using a supported port-channel with acceptable minimum-link requirements for the intended redundancy policy would not retain at least one LACP active participant and match the channel group parameters and port attributes.
