STUDY GUIDE FOR CHAPTER 10 (Online 9)

1. What is trunking?

2. What do trunking protocols allow?

3. VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) was created to solve potential operational problems in a VLAN switchedenvironment. Explain the fundamentals of VTP.

4. The role of VTP is to maintain VLAN configuration consistency across the entire network. Explain its benefits.

5. VTP switches operate in one of three modes . Explain these modes.

6. VTP Version 2 supports features not supported in Version 1. What are they?

7. A switchs default behavior is to propagate broadcast and unknown packets across the network. This behavior

causes a large amount of unnecessary traffic to cross the network. What is VTP pruning?

8. In switched networks, route processors enable communication between VLANs. What do route processors

provide?

9. As the number of VLANs increases in a network, network administrators must determine whether they want to

have an individual router interface for each VLAN. What are possible solutions?

10. What are the Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet trunking modes, and what do they mean?
