EtherChannel (ENCOR, CCNP Quiz) Please enter your email: What is a best practice to use before beginning an EtherChannel implementation? Enable each of the affected interfaces Shut down each of the affected interfaces Assign affected interfaces to an unused VLAN Assign affected interfaces to VLAN 1 Which PAgP mode combination will establish an EtherChannel? Switch 1 set to auto; Switch 2 set to on Switch 1 set to on; Switch 2 set to desirable Switch 1 set to auto; Switch 2 set to auto Switch 1 set to desirable; Switch 2 set to desirable Which ones are valid load balancing methods of EtherChannel technology? Middle IP, Destination IP, Source MAC Source IP, Destination IP, Source MAC Source Router, Destination Router Source computer, Destination computer Which statement describes a characteristic of EtherChannel? It can combine up to a maximum of 4 physical links It is made by combining multiple physical links that are seen as one link between two switches It can bundle mixed types of 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps Ethernet links It can bundle mixed types of 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet links Which settings must match on both sides of the switch ports to form an EtherChannel? Interface speed, duplex & vlan should match Only the switch port numbers must match Only the Switch numbers must match vlans & SNMP strings should match EtherChannel is also called as PortChannel: TRUE FALSE What is an advantage of using LACP? It decreases the amount of configuration that is needed on a switch for EtherChannel It eliminates the need for the spanning tree protocol It gives more speed as compared to PAgP It allows the use of multi-vendor devices When a range of ports is being configured for EtherChannel, which mode will configure PAgP so that it initiates the EtherChannel negotiation? Active Auto Desirable Passive Which Cisco command must be used on SW2 to enable an EtherChannel, if 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 passive? nw_SW2(config-if-range)# channel-group 1 mode passive nw_SW2(config-if-range)# channel-group 1 mode desirable nw_SW2(config-if-range)# channel-group 1 mode auto nw_SW2(config-if-range)# channel-group 1 mode active Which statement is true regarding the use of PAgP to create EtherChannels? It mandates that an even number of ports (2, 4, 6) be used for aggregation It requires more physical links than LACP It is Cisco Proprietary It increases the number of ports that are participating spanning tree Loading … Written by
