- G
Allowed VLANs
How does spanning tree treat an EtherChannel bundle compared with its member links?
- A
Spanning tree treats each member as a separate path.
- B
Spanning tree treats the bundle as one logical link.
- C
Spanning tree disables the port-channel.
- D
Spanning tree selects the load-balancing hash for each flow.
What mechanism normally assigns a traffic flow to a member link using selected packet fields?
Select all PAgP mode pairings that can form an EtherChannel.
- A
Desirable–desirable
- B
Auto–auto
- C
Desirable–auto
- D
Auto–desirable
In common Cisco show etherchannel summary output, what do Po and P commonly indicate?
- A
Pomeans a physical port;Pmeans a port-channel. - B
Pomeans a suspended port-channel;Pmeans a passive LACP port. - C
Pocommonly marks a Layer 2 port-channel;Pmarks a bundled member port. - D
Pomeans the port is routed;Pmeans the port is passive.
You need a two-link Layer 2 trunk EtherChannel between two switches, carrying VLANs 10, 20, and 30, using LACP. Describe the essential configuration for the physical member interfaces and the logical port-channel on both switches.
When an EtherChannel bundle is formed, how does spanning tree treat its member links?
- A
One logical link
- B
A separate path for each member link
- C
A routed link regardless of configuration
- D
A link that spanning tree ignores
True or false: PAgP is standardized by IEEE.
- A
True
- B
False
In the configuration example, what does channel-group 1 mode active do when applied to physical interfaces?
- A
It configures the load-balancing algorithm for the bundle.
- B
It assigns the physical interfaces to channel group 1 and initiates LACP negotiation.
- C
It displays LACP neighbor information.
- D
It sets the native VLAN for the bundle.
In Cisco show etherchannel summary output, what letter commonly marks a port that is bundled in the port-channel?
Two switches are configured to use LACP for an EtherChannel. Which pairing is compatible and can negotiate a bundle?
- A
Passive–passive
- B
PAgP auto–auto
- C
Active–active
- D
LACP passive–PAgP desirable
Both ends of a link are set to PAgP auto. What should you expect?
- A
No channel forms because neither side initiates negotiation.
- B
A channel forms because both sides initiate negotiation.
- C
A channel forms only if LACP is also enabled.
- D
The ports form a channel without negotiation.
