Refer to the exhibit. On the basis of the output that is shown, what can be determined about the EtherChannel bundle?
A Cisco proprietary protocol was used to negotiate the EtherChannel link.
What are two advantages of EtherChannel? (Choose two.)
Configuring the EtherChannel interface provides consistency in the configuration of the physical links. Spanning Tree Protocol views the physical links in an EtherChannel as one logical connection.
What is the function of STP in a scalable network?
It disables redundant paths to eliminate Layer 2 loops.
Which statement is true regarding the use of PAgP to create EtherChannels?
It is Cisco proprietary.
Which statement describes a characteristic of EtherChannel?
It is made by combining multiple physical links that are seen as one link between two switches.
A switch is configured to run STP. What term describes a field used to specify a VLAN ID?
extended system ID
Which port role is assigned to the switch port that has the lowest cost to reach the root bridge?
root port
What is the value used to determine which port on a non-root bridge will become a root port in a STP network?
the path cost
What are two requirements to be able to configure an EtherChannel between two switches? (Choose two.)
All the interfaces need to work at the same speed. All the interfaces need to be working in the same duplex mode.
In which two PVST+ port states are MAC addresses learned? (Choose two.)
forwarding learning
In which two port states does a switch learn MAC addresses and process BPDUs in a PVST network? (Choose two.)
forwarding learning
Open the PT Activity. Perform the tasks in the activity instructions and then answer the question. Which set of configuration commands issued on SW1 will successfully complete the EtherChannel link between SW1 and SW2?
interface GigabitEthernet0/1channel-group 1 mode desirable
If no bridge priority is configured in PVST, which criteria is considered when electing the root bridge?
lowest MAC address
When EtherChannel is configured, which mode will force an interface into a port channel without exchanging aggregation protocol packets?
on
What is the purpose of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)?
prevents Layer 2 loops
A switch is configured to run STP. What term describes the reference point for all path calculations?
root bridge
A switch is configured to run STP. What term describes the switch port closest, in terms of overall cost, to the root bridge?
root port
What are two load-balancing methods in the EtherChannel technology? (Choose two.)
source IP to destination IP. source MAC to destination MAC.
Which two parameters must match on the ports of two switches to create a PAgP EtherChannel between the switches? (Choose two.)
speed VLAN information
Which protocol provides up to 16 instances of RSTP, combines many VLANs with the same physical and logical topology into a common RSTP instance, and provides support for PortFast, BPDU guard, BPDU filter, root guard, and loop guard?
MST
Which mode configuration setting would allow formation of an EtherChannel link between switches SW1 and SW2 without sending negotiation traffic?
SW1: on SW2: on
A network administrator is configuring an EtherChannel link between switches SW1 and SW2 by using the command SW1(config-if-range)# channel-group 1 mode auto . Which command must be used on SW2 to enable this EtherChannel?
SW2(config-if-range)# channel-group 1 mode desirable
A network administrator has configured an EtherChannel between two switches that are connected via four trunk links. If the physical interface for one of the trunk links changes to a down state, what happens to the EtherChannel?
The EtherChannel will remain functional.
What are two drawbacks to turning spanning tree off and having multiple paths through the Layer 2 switch network? (Choose two.)
The MAC address table becomes unstable. Broadcast frames are transmitted indefinitely.
A switch is configured to run STP. What term describes a field that has a default value of 32,768 and is the initial deciding factor when electing a root bridge?
bridge priority
A set of switches is being connected in a LAN topology. Which STP bridge priority value will make it least likely for the switch to be selected as the root?
61440
Which spanning tree standard supports only one root bridge so that traffic from all VLANs flows over the same path?
802.1D
Which statement describes an EtherChannel implementation?
A trunked port can be part of an EtherChannel bundle.
What are two advantages of using LACP? (Choose two.)
It allows directly connected switches to negotiate an EtherChannel link. It allows the use of multivendor devices.
What is a characteristic of spanning tree?
It is enabled by default on Cisco switches.
Which technology is an open protocol standard that allows switches to automatically bundle physical ports into a single logical link?
LACP
What is the outcome of a Layer 2 broadcast storm?
New traffic is discarded by the switch because it is unable to be processed.
Which two network design features require Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) to ensure correct network operation? (Choose two.)
Redundant links between Layer 2 switches. Removing single points of failure with multiple Layer 2 switches.
What is a requirement to configure a trunking EtherChannel between two switches?
The allowed range of VLANs must be the same on both switches.
A network administrator configured an EtherChannel link with three interfaces between two switches. What is the result if one of the three interfaces is down?
The remaining two interfaces continue to load balance traffic.
Refer to the exhibit. The administrator tried to create an EtherChannel between S1 and the other two switches via the commands that are shown, but was unsuccessful. What is the problem?
Traffic cannot be sent to two different switches through the same EtherChannel link.

When the show spanning-tree vlan 33 command is issued on a switch, three ports are shown in the forwarding state. In which two port roles could these interfaces function while in the forwarding state? (Choose two.)
designated root
A switch is configured to run STP. What term describes a non-root port that is permitted to forward traffic on the network?
designated port
Which two channel group modes would place an interface in a negotiating state using PAgP? (Choose two.)
desirable auto
Which three components are combined to form a bridge ID?
extended system ID, MAC address, bridge priority
