01
Front

What does an IEEE 802.1Q trunk carry?

Back

An IEEE 802.1Q trunk carries traffic for multiple VLANs over one Ethernet link.

02
Front

How do switches identify most VLAN traffic on a trunk?

Back

Switches identify most frames on a trunk with an 802.1Q VLAN tag.

03
Front

How are native VLAN frames normally sent on an 802.1Q trunk?

Back

Frames in the native VLAN are normally sent untagged on an 802.1Q trunk.

04
Front

Why must both ends of a trunk use the same native VLAN?

Back

Configure the same native VLAN at both ends; otherwise, switches can assign untagged traffic to different VLANs.

05
Front

What does a trunk’s allowed VLAN list control?

Back

The allowed VLAN list limits which VLANs can cross the trunk.

06
Front

What does `switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20,99` do?

Back

`switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20,99` sets the list to those VLANs; it does not add them to the existing list.

07
Front

Which command adds VLAN 30 to an existing trunk allowed list?

Back

Use `switchport trunk allowed vlan add 30` to add VLAN 30 without replacing the existing list.

08
Front

Does making a VLAN native automatically allow it across a trunk?

Back

A VLAN must be in the allowed list to carry data across the trunk; native status alone does not include it.

09
Front

What is the default native VLAN on many Cisco switches?

Back

On many Cisco switches, the default native VLAN is VLAN 1.

10
Front

What spanning-tree issue may be reported if trunk native VLANs differ?

Back

A native VLAN mismatch can cause spanning-tree inconsistencies to be reported.

11
Front

Which command checks operational trunk state and VLAN membership?

Back

`show interfaces trunk` checks the operational trunk state and VLAN membership.

12
Front

What can `show vlan brief` help verify?

Back

`show vlan brief` displays VLAN information; use it to check that required VLANs exist and are active.
