EtherChannel (ENCOR, CCNP Quiz) Please enter your email: What is an advantage of using LACP? It allows the use of multi-vendor devices It gives more speed as compared to PAgP It decreases the amount of configuration that is needed on a switch for EtherChannel It eliminates the need for the spanning tree protocol Which one of below is an advantage of using EtherChannel technology? A spanning tree recalculation is not required when a single link within the channel goes down EtherChannel supports fiber links Load balancing is not needed with EtherChannel EtherChannel shutdowns the unused interfaces in the bundle to avoid loops A trunk link between two switches has reached its capacity. How can this be addressed in the most economical way? Create additional broadcast domains by inserting a router between the switches Decrease the size of inter-switch collision domain by configuring additional VLANs Increase the speed of the ports Combine physical ports into a high-speed logical link by configuring the EtherChannel EtherChannel is also called as PortChannel: FALSE TRUE EtherChannel can also be used for VLAN creations: FALSE TRUE Which statement is true about EtherChannel? ‘D’ means that an EtherChannel is Up & working ‘U’ means that an EtherChannel is Up & working PAgP can be used with LACP at the same EtherChannel bundle EtherChannel can support up to a maximum of ten separate links Is there any EtherChannel in this topology or not? YES NO Which settings must match on both sides of the switch ports to form an EtherChannel? Only the switch port numbers must match vlans & SNMP strings should match Interface speed, duplex & vlan should match Only the Switch numbers must match Which Cisco command can be used to enter into EtherChannel interface configuration mode? #interface port-channel 1 #interface 1 #channel-group 1 #interface range 1 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 active nw_SW2(config-if-range)# channel-group 1 mode passive nw_SW2(config-if-range)# channel-group 1 mode auto nw_SW2(config-if-range)# channel-group 1 mode desirable Loading … Written by
