Which of the following statements is true about the 80/20 rule (Select all that apply)?
  • A.
    20 percent of the traffic on a network segment should be local
  • B.
    no more than 20 percent of the network traffic should be able to move across a backbone.
  • C.
    no more than 80 percent of the network traffic should be able to move across a backbone.
  • D.
    80 percent of the traffic on a network segment should be local
  • Answer & Explanation
  • Report
Answer : [B, D]
Explanation :
The 80/20 rule in network design originated from the idea that most of the traffic should remain local to the LAN, since bandwidth is plentiful compared to WAN links, and a great deal of broadcast traffic that is evident at the LAN is not passed over the backbone. Note: With the availability of inexpensive bandwidth and centralized data centers, this rule appears to have become obsolete. In fact, most networks have taken on the 20/80 rules, as opposed to the legacy 80/20 rule.

The Company LAN switches are being configured to support the use of Dynamic VLANs. Which of the following are true of dynamic VLAN membership? (Select all that apply)
  • A.
    VLAN membership of a user always remains the same even when he/she is moved to another location.
  • B.
    VLAN membership of a user always changes when he/she is moved to another location.
  • C.
    Membership can be static or dynamic.
  • D.
    Membership can be static only.
  • E.
    None of the other alternatives apply.
  • Answer & Explanation
  • Report
Answer : [A, C]
Explanation :
Dynamic VLAN memberships are based on the users MAC address connected to the port. If you have VTP server, a VTP database file, a VTP client switch, and a dynamic port; regardless of where your physical location is, you can still remain in the same VLAN.

What is a characteristic of assigning a static VLAN membership?
  • A.
    VMPS server lookup is required.
  • B.
    Easy to configure.
  • C.
    Easy of adds, moves, and changes.
  • D.
    Based on MAC address of the connected device.
  • Answer & Explanation
  • Report
Answer : [B]
Explanation :
Static port VLAN membership on the switch is assigned manually by the administrator on a portby- port basis.
Characteristics of static VLAN configurations include the following:
1. Secure
2. Easy to configure
3. Straight forward to monitor
4. Works well in networks where moves, adds , and changes are rare.

Two Company switches are connected via a trunk using VTP. Which VTP information does a Catalyst switch advertise on its trunk ports when using VTP? (Select two)
  • A.
    STP root status
  • B.
    VTP mode.
  • C.
    Negotiation status.
  • D.
    Management domain.
  • E.
    Configuration revision number.
  • Answer & Explanation
  • Report
Answer : [D, E]
Explanation :
The role of the VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) is to maintain VLAN configuration consistency across the entire network. VTP is a messaging protocol that uses Layer 2 trunk frames to manage the addition, deletion, and renaming of VLANs on a network-wide basis from a centralized switch that is in the VTP server mode. VTP is responsible for synchronizing VLAN information within a VTP domain. This reduces the need to configure the same VLAN information on each switch. Using VTP, each Catalyst Family Switch advertises the following on its trunk ports: Management domain Configuration revision number Known VLANs and their specific parameters.
