Cisco 200-301 Practice Test 20

Question 190

A Cisco Catalyst uplink is already manually placed into trunk mode and connects to a peer whose trunk mode is also explicitly configured. The team must suppress local DTP frames while keeping the link an ordinary 802.1Q trunk. Which additional interface command is appropriate where supported?

  1. switchport mode dynamic auto
  2. switchport trunk native vlan 99
  3. switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20
  4. Use switchport nonegotiate where the platform supports it

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

On supported Catalyst interfaces, switchport nonegotiate disables DTP frame generation while trunk operation remains explicitly configured at both ends.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Dynamic auto relies on DTP negotiation rather than suppressing negotiation traffic; it conflicts with the stipulated fixed-mode design.

B:

This assigns the untagged VLAN but does not disable Dynamic Trunking Protocol advertisements on the port.

C:

The allowed list filters VLAN admission; it does not stop DTP frames from being generated.

Question 191

A VLAN 40 outage appears only across a two-switch 802.1Q uplink, while VLAN 10 crosses normally. Both switches define VLAN 40. Which trunk allowed-set comparison will establish whether one peer filters VLAN 40?

  1. Inspect the trunk allowed VLAN list on both ends
  2. Read only the native VLAN numbers, ignoring the allowed list
  3. Read only the switchport link-state counters
  4. Inspect only the default gateway of a VLAN 40 host

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

An excluded VLAN cannot traverse a trunk even when it exists locally.

Incorrect Answers

B:

A native-VLAN comparison alone cannot reveal whether VLAN 40 is excluded from one peer’s allowed trunk VLAN set.

C:

An operational Ethernet link can still refuse to forward a particular VLAN excluded by the allowlist.

D:

Its gateway could be correct while the missing VLAN is filtered between the two switches.

Question 192

The configuration includes `switchport mode dynamic auto` but the operator needs to know if the interface actually negotiated trunk operation. Which operational mode readout is most useful?

  1. Read show vlan brief and assume VLAN creation means this port is a trunk
  2. Read show spanning-tree root and assume the root switch negotiates the port mode
  3. Read only the configured administrative mode dynamic auto
  4. Inspect operational switchport mode

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

A link stuck in access mode does not transport multiple tagged VLANs.

Incorrect Answers

A:

VLAN existence says nothing about whether this DTP dynamic-auto interface became a trunk.

B:

Spanning-tree roles are independent of whether DTP negotiated an operational access or trunk port.

C:

The configured administrative mode is not the actual negotiated operational switchport mode requested.

Question 193

One end of an 802.1Q link treats VLAN 99 as native while the other treats VLAN 1 as native. Which two-sided configuration check identifies this source of untagged-frame mismatch?

  1. Compare the configured native VLAN on each end
  2. Change the trunk allowed VLAN list to all VLANs without inspecting native settings
  3. Compare speed and duplex on the physical links
  4. Review only each switch’s STP root-bridge priority

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Different native VLAN assignments can misclassify untagged frames.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Permitting additional tagged VLANs does not reconcile the inconsistent treatment of untagged traffic.

C:

The physical link may be healthy even as the peers assign untagged frames to different VLANs.

D:

Root selection does not directly reveal the mismatched trunk native VLAN numbers.

Question 194

A preexisting restricted trunk list contains VLANs 10 and 20; a change ticket authorizes VLAN 40 in addition to both. Which allowed-list action adds VLAN 40 without discarding 10 and 20?

  1. Use switchport trunk allowed vlan 40 alone, replacing the existing allowed list
  2. Use switchport access vlan 40 on the trunk interface
  3. Set switchport trunk native vlan 40 to add a tagged VLAN
  4. Use switchport trunk allowed vlan add 40 on the existing trunk

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The add form extends the existing trunk allowed VLAN set to include 40 while retaining 10 and 20, avoiding the disruptive replacement behavior of a bare list command.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Without the add keyword, IOS replaces the permitted set and can remove VLANs 10 and 20.

B:

That configures access VLAN membership rather than adding one allowed VLAN on the existing trunk.

C:

Native-VLAN assignment does not append VLAN 40 to the allowed set.

Question 195

A tagged packet leaves a Cisco 802.1Q trunk but the peer decodes it into the wrong VLAN. What link-layer encapsulation and VLAN-tag metadata should the engineer review first?

  1. Review the trunk encapsulation and VLAN tags
  2. Change a Layer 3 default route without inspecting the 802.1Q VLAN ID
  3. Inspect native VLAN values only, even though the frame is explicitly tagged
  4. Increase speed or duplex without reading the VLAN identifier in the 802.1Q header

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

802.1Q VLAN identifiers distinguish non-native VLAN frames on shared uplinks.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The observed inconsistency is in tagged Ethernet VLAN encapsulation, which precedes any routed IP next-hop selection.

C:

Native-VLAN settings primarily govern untagged ingress/egress; a wrong tag ID requires examining the tagged 802.1Q metadata.

D:

PHY negotiation cannot explain an otherwise healthy tagged frame being classified into an unexpected VLAN.

Question 196

A legacy printer sends untagged traffic to a single user-facing switchport configured for an access VLAN. Which switchport property determines the VLAN for those frames, rather than a trunk native setting?

  1. Use the trunk native VLAN assignment even though this is an access port
  2. Use a new SVI IP address to determine the untagged printer’s Layer 2 VLAN
  3. Use that switchport access VLAN assignment
  4. Use the permitted tagged VLAN list of another trunk to classify the printer frame

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Access ports classify ordinary incoming untagged data in one selected VLAN.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Native VLAN applies to 802.1Q trunk handling, not the access VLAN assigned to untagged printer frames here.

B:

SVIs provide Layer 3 gateways; their IP assignments do not override the access switchport VLAN membership.

D:

The untagged printer arrives on its own access interface, which maps that frame into its configured access VLAN.

Question 197

A switch-to-switch trunk receives one **untagged** Ethernet frame. The local trunk's native VLAN is 99. Which existing configuration property determines the VLAN assigned to that frame?

  1. Assign an arbitrary access VLAN from a different switchport to this frame
  2. Map every untagged frame to VLAN 1 regardless of configured native VLAN
  3. Read the frame’s nonexistent 802.1Q tag and use that ID
  4. Use the trunk native VLAN setting

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

An untagged frame received on a normal 802.1Q trunk belongs to its native VLAN.

Incorrect Answers

A:

An untagged frame arriving on the trunk is classified using that trunk’s native VLAN, not another port’s access VLAN.

B:

A trunk with native VLAN 99 classifies untagged traffic as VLAN 99, absent special tagging/drop policy.

C:

The frame is explicitly untagged and therefore has no VLAN identifier in a tag to inspect.

Question 198

A Catalyst switch captures an Ethernet frame on an 802.1Q trunk. The non-native frame contains the destination MAC, source MAC, and a VLAN tag, followed by the original EtherType field. Which insertion correctly describes the 802.1Q frame format?

  1. Append the VLAN tag only after the original Ethernet frame check sequence
  2. Insert a four-byte tag after the source MAC and before the original EtherType, then recalculate the FCS
  3. Replace the source MAC with the VLAN ID so that the Ethernet header stays the same length
  4. Put the VLAN ID inside the IPv4 header and leave the Ethernet header unchanged

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

IEEE 802.1Q inserts its four-byte TPID/TCI field between the source MAC and original Type/Length field and recalculates the frame check sequence; TPID 0x8100 identifies the tag.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A tag placed after the FCS would not use the specified Ethernet header format; the original FCS must be recalculated when the header changes.

C:

The source MAC remains a 48-bit Layer 2 source address. The VLAN tag is an additional four bytes, not a replacement for the source address.

D:

VLAN membership is carried in an 802.1Q Ethernet tag rather than inside the IP packet; this applies even to non-IP payloads.

Question 199

VLAN 60 works within each switch but not across the interswitch trunk; the allowed list excludes VLAN 60 on the remote peer. Which transport configuration must be reviewed and corrected?

  1. Change the trunk native VLAN to 60 without permitting VLAN 60
  2. Move both switches’ management IP addresses to VLAN 60
  3. Review and correct the trunk allowed VLAN set
  4. Disable STP for VLAN 60 on both switches as the first response

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

VLAN permission and pruning affect whether that VLAN can cross the uplink.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A native VLAN edit does not fix an explicit allowed-VLAN exclusion that filters VLAN 60 traffic.

B:

Management addressing does not restore the missing Layer 2 trunk forwarding allowance.

D:

Spanning-tree changes are unnecessary and risky when the stated root cause is an allowlist omission.

Question 200

A port reports trunk mode, but VLAN 100 does not forward because it is absent or blocked. Which `show interfaces trunk` fields show VLANs allowed, active and forwarding rather than just configured mode?

  1. Use show vlan brief to see access memberships and assume trunk forwarding
  2. Check active and forwarding VLANs in show interfaces trunk
  3. Read show interfaces status to learn the physical link speed
  4. Inspect only the switchport administrative trunk mode

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The command distinguishes configured allowance from VLANs actively forwarded.

Incorrect Answers

A:

VLAN creation/membership does not prove the tagged VLAN is permitted and STP-forwarding on the uplink.

C:

An up link with a correct speed can still filter a tagged VLAN because of allowed/active or STP forwarding status.

D:

A configured trunk can exclude VLAN 100; the requested fields are the actual allowed/active/forwarding lists.
