CCNA VTP SIM Question
Question
This task requires you to use the CLI of Sw-AC3 to answer five multiple-choice questions. This does not require any configuration.
To answer the multiple-choice questions, click on the numbered boxes in the right panel.
There are five multiple-choice questions with this task. Be sure to answer all five questions before leaving this item.
Notice: All the images in this VTP LAB are used for demonstration only, you will see slightly different images in the real CCNA exam. You can download this sim to practice here (but notice that this sim is not perfect, only for practicing purpose): http://www.9tut.com/download/9tut.com_CCNA_vtp_sim.pka
If you are not sure about VTP, please read my VTP Tutorial
Note: In this VTP sim, you have to answer 5 questions. After answering the first question, click on the number boxes to move to other questions. If you click “Next” at the first question, you will lose points for 4 remaining questions.
Question 1
What interface did Sw-AC3 associate with source MAC address 0010.5a0c.ffba ?
a) Fa0/1
b) Fa0/3
c) Fa0/6
d) Fa0/8
e) Fa0/9
f) Fa0/12
Answer: Fa 0/8
Explanation: to find out which interface associated with a given MAC address, use the show mac-address-table command. It shows the learned MAC addresses and their associated interfaces. After entering this command, you will see a MAC address table like this:
From this table we can figure out that the MAC address 0010.5a0c.ffba is associated with interface Fa0/8.
Note: There are some reports that the “show mac-address-table” command does not exist in the exam. So in the exam, if you cannot use the “show mac-address-table” command then try using the “show mac address-table” (without “-”) instead.
Question 2
What ports on Sw-AC3 are operating has trunks (choose three)?
a) Fa0/1
b) Fa0/3
c) Fa0/4
d) Fa0/6
e) Fa0/9
f) Fa0/12
Answer: Fa0/3, Fa0/9 and Fa0/12
Explanation: Use the show interface trunk command to determine the trunking status of a link and VLAN status. This command lists port, its mode, encapsulation and whether it is trunking. The image below shows how it works:
(This image is used for demonstration only)
Question 3
What kind of router is VLAN-R1?
a) 1720
b) 1841
c) 2611
d) 2620
Answer: 2620
Explanation: VLAN-R1 is the router directly connected to Sw-Ac3 switch, so we can use the show cdp neighbors command to see:
1. Neighbor Device ID : The name of the neighbor device;
2. Local Interface : The interface to which this neighbor is heard
3. Capability: Capability of this neighboring device – R for router, S for switch, H for Host etc.
4. Platform: Which type of device the neighbor is
5. Port ID: The interface of the remote neighbor you receive CDP information
6. Holdtime: Decremental hold time in seconds
Sample output of show cdp neighbors command:
One thing I want to notice you is “Local Intrfce” in the image above refers to the local interface on the device you are running the “show cdp neighbors” command
Question 4
Which switch is the root bridge for VLAN 1?
Answer: Sw-DS1
Explanation: First we use the show spanning-tree vlan 1 to view the spanning-tree information of VLAN 1
From the “Cost 19″, we learn that the root switch is directly connected to the Sw-Ac3 switch over a 100Mbps Ethernet link
Notice that if you see all of the interface roles are Desg (designated) then you can confirm Sw-Ac3 switch is the root bridge for this VLAN (VLAN 1).
If you see there is at least one Root port in the interface roles then you can confirm Sw-Ac3 is not the root bridge because root bridge does not have root port. In this case, we notice that the root port on Sw-Ac3 switch is FastEthernet0/12, so we have to figure out which switch is associated with this port -> it is the root bridge. You can verify it with the show cdp neighbors command:
The “Local Intrfce” column refers to the interface on the switch running “show cdp neighbors” command. In this case, Sw-DS1 is associated with interface FastEthernet0/12 -> Sw-DS1 is the root bridge
Question 5
What address should be configured as the default-gateway for the host connected to interface fa 0/4 of SW-Ac3?
Answer: 192.168.44.254
Explanation:
First we have to identify which VLAN interface Fa0/4 belongs to by the show vlan command
From the exhibit we know that VLAN 44 is configured on router using sub-interface Fa0/0.44 with IP address 192.168.44.254/24
Therefore the default gateway of the host should be 192.168.44.254
Question 6
From which switch did Sw-Ac3 receive VLAN information ?
Answer: Sw-AC2
Explanation: to view the VTP configuration information, use the show vtp status command
So we knew Sw-Ac3 received VLAN information from 163.5.8.3 (notice:the IP address may be different). Finally we use the show cdp neighbors detail to find out who 163.5.8.3 is:
Note: If in the exam you find that “Configuration last modified by 0.0.0.0” then “0.0.0.0″ here indicates it does not receive VLAN information from anyone -> Sw-Ac3 is also the local updater. Therefore the answer in this case is Sw-Ac3.
Question 7
Refer to the exibit, SwX was taken out of the production network for maintenance. It will be reconnected to the Fa 0/16 port of Sw-Ac3. What happens to the network when it is reconnected and a trunk exists between the two switches?
A – All VLANs except the default VLAN will be removed from all switches
B – All existing switches will have the students, admin, faculty, Servers, Management, Production, and no-where VLANs
C – The VLANs Servers, Management, Production and no-where will replace the VLANs on SwX
D – The VLANs Servers, Management, Production and no-where will be removed from existing switches
Answer and Explanation:
First we should view the VTP configuration of switch Sw-Ac3 by using the show vtp status command on Sw-Ac3
Notice that its configuration revision number is 5 and VTP Domain Name is home-office
Next, from the exhibit we know that SwX has a revision number of 6, which is greater than that of Sw-Ac3 switch, and both of them have same VTP Domain Name called “home-office”.
Therefore SwX will replace vlan information on other switches with its own information. We should check vlan information of Sw-Ac3 switch with show vlan command
So the correct answer is D – The VLANs Servers, Management, Production and no-where will be removed from existing switches
Please notice that in the real CCNA exam you may see a different configuration revision of Sw-Ac3 or of SwX. In general, which switch has a higher revision number it will become the updater and other switches will overwrite their current databases with the new information received from the updater (provided that they are on the same domain and that switch is not in transparent mode). In particular, if the revision number of SwX is lower than that of Sw-Ac3, the answer should be “C – The VLANs Servers, Management, Production and no-where will replace the VLANs on SwX”.
Also, some recent comments have said that the new switch’s VTP Operating Mode is Server but the answer is still the same.
Note: If a switch is in client mode and has a higher Revision number, it can still update other Server switches (with lower Revision numbers).
Question 8
Out of which ports will a frame be forwarded that has source mac-address 0010.5a0c.fd86 and destination mac-address 000a.8a47.e612? (Choose three)
A – Fa0/8
B – Fa0/3
C – Fa0/1
D – Fa0/12
Answer: B C D
Explanation:
First we check to see which ports the source mac-address and the destination mac-address belong to by using show mac-address-table command
We notice that the source mac-address 0010.5a0c.fd86 is listed in the table and it belongs to Vlan 33 but we can’t find the destination mac-address 000a.8a47.e612 in this table. In this case, the switch will flood to all ports of Vlan 33 and flood to all the trunk links, except the port it received this frame (port Fa0/6). Therefore from the output above, we can figure out it will flood this frame to Fa0/1, Fa0/3 and Fa0/12.
Please notice that the “show mac-address-table” command just lists information that was learned by the switch, it means that there can be other ports besides Fa0/1, Fa0/3 and Fa0/12 belong to Vlan 33. You can use the show vlan command to see which ports belong to vlan 33
And we found other ports which belong to vlan 33, they are Fa0/2, Fa0/5 and Fa0/7. Our switch will flood the frame to these ports, too.
And we can check which trunk ports will receive this frame by the show interface trunk command
-> Port Fa0/9 will also receive this frame!
Note: Some reports said there is another version of this question. A reader on 9tut commented:
Another question on the VTP SIM was” What will be the destination MAC address of a packet with Source IP address 192.168.44.1 and destination IP address 192.0.2.X (doesn’t really matter what will be the Dest. IP address, since it will be sent to the router).
The answer is simple:
Since the source IP address belongs to VLAN 44, the default gw of the sender is the Router’s Subinterface 192.168.44.254, and this is where the packet will be sent. Thus, you need to perform a ‘show cdp nei’ on the Sw-AC3 in order to find the local FastEthernet port where the router is connected. Then execute a “show mac address-table” (this command was functioning) and find the mac address associated with the previous port. This is the answer.
Question 9
If one of the host connected to Sw-AC3 wants to send something for the ip 190.0.2.5 (or any ip that is not on the same subnet) what will be the destination MAC address?
Answer and Explanation:
Because the destination address is not on the same subnet with the switch, it will forward the packet to its default gateway. So we have to find out who is the default gateway of this switch by using the show running-config command
From the output, we notice that its default-gateway is 192.168.1.254. In fact, we can easily guess that its default gateway should be a layer 3 device like a router; and in this case, the VLAN-R1 router. To verify our theory, use the show cdp neighbor detail command and focus on the description of VLAN-R1 router
From this output, we can confirm the switch’s default gateway is VLAN-R1 router (with the IP address of 192.168.1.254). And “the interface: FastEthernet0/3″ tells us that the switch is connected to VLAN-R1 router through Fa0/3 port (Fa0/3 is the port on the switch).
Finally we just need to use the show mac-address-table command to find out which MAC address is associated with this interface
(Notice that in the real CCNA exam the MAC address or port may be different)
And we find out the corresponding MAC address is 000a.b7e9.8360. Although there are some entries of port Fa0/3 with different Vlans but they have the same MAC address
Other lab-sims on this site:
why do I issue show running-config, switch’s ip default gateway of the lab does not exist. I can’t find it. Pls help.
in Q1, when I issue show mac address-table, the MAC address in question 0010.5a0c.ffba is not shown. Only see it when I issue “show run”
hi, can anyone send me the latest dumps..pdf format is better because i gor older VCE reader,..kindly send it to: rae_mel84@hotmail.com ,many thanks =)
Passed the ccna exam today, 947/1000
100% from shekar w/ 2 new questions
my Labs are ACL2 same as here just host B. EIGRP 12 and 22 AS w/ extra network. the most difficult is VTP, the SWc-3 is the VTP server I cant figure out the ans that is asking for the mac address of the IP that does not belong to the subnet.
passed!!! with 947/1000
@Marc Lawrence i agree with you… I think its a bug in the exam…. no matter what you do you will never find that port number unless you’re lucky enough to guess the right answer… :)
Labs are VTP, ACL 2 ( with Other types of access from host D to the Finance Web Server should be blocked – All access from hosts in the Core or local LAN to the Finance Web Server should be blocked ) and Eigrp (with extra net and wrong AS) ..
Shekar/Collisio dumps are super valid
Goodluck to all!! Don’t be afraid to take the exam….
plz I need a solution of following statement,
In ACL they said
Host B should be able to use a web browser(HTTP)to access the Finance Web Server
Other types of access from host B to the Finance Web Server should be blocked
All access from hosts in the Core or local LAN to the Finance Web Server should be blocked
All hosts in the Core and local LAN should be able to access the Public Web Server
plz
Just passed! VTP is confusing, show mac-address-table didn’t work. From help command eventually “show mac” worked. There was no IP address to find the default gateway in “show run”, i think there is a bug in the system. ACL had 2 servers, financial web server and another web server. finance web server only host c should access, the other server everybody. EIGRP was a bit confusing too, i think I added more network… than needed and it deducted points. I did CCNA 5 years ago, i think it was a lot easier. time to roll up a fatty, thanks 9tut, awesome website! this worth way more than the dumps, explanations are clear.
@jimmy
access-list 100 pemit tcp host host eq 80
access-list 100 deny ip any host
access-list 100 permit ip any any
Today i passed my exam & i score 960/1000,
Thanks 9tut
congraaats :)
congratssss EL
@EL IDRISSI
How many questions did you got excluding the simulations part??
And how many questions did u get correct???
Hi all
Today I passed my ccna exam, I scored 920/1000. Thank you 9tut this is a great site donation is coming your way give me 2 days you will get my donation. Also thank you Sekhar.
Guys there is nothing like latest dumps this site is enough for you to pass the exam that is if you know your staff. Simulations are same as here VTP, EIGRP, and ACL2 the only change is on the IP Add and the host to block on the ACL. This site alone is enough guys I don’t see a reason why you should waste your time looking for more sites just go thru everything that is here on 9tut and you’re good to go, just make sure you know your staff and don’t cram answers but know what is required from you and do just that it’s very simply i tell you. Good Lucky!!!!
can’t wait to blast it on thursday
About the bug in the “show vtp status” not showing last modified IP address.
Did anyone tried to change the vtp mode to server and the domain name to something else, then issue in in priv.mode “delete vlan.dat” –> “reload”.
The idea is to make the switch to obtain new info and hopefully the row to appear it works with packet tracer but since I did not seen the real exam I can’t say whether it would work or not.
Well I’ve got an exam tomorrow so if I this bug occur i would try it.
thanks 9tut…..i got vtp,eigrp,acl…..and i passed with 990/1000…………

Thanks a lot to 9tut!
q4
if the actual switch is the root bridge we should not only see all ports as “FWD” but also
“this is the root bridge”
although in the exam we may not see that…
any one have CCNA discount vaucher
I am a self-study student, using books and dvd lectures. I intend to take the ccna exam shortly and need some clarifications to the following questions:
1. In the sim questions, if I click on the console host will it take me straight to the CLI or I
need to take further steps to find the CLI;
2. Are calculators allowed inside the exam hall;
3. What are the maximum number of questions per exams; and
4. Time duration allowed per session.
I appreciate if someone can help with these questions cause, this is my first time. Thanx in anticipation.
Cleared my exam today,thanks to 9tut. I would strongly recommend students who intend to take their CCNA to practise the sims and the questions (yes all of them). Trust me most of the questions (more than 90%) in the test will be from this website. Don’t mug up, try to understand the questions as there will be slight changes in the exam. It will be easy if you understand the questions and the concept. The tutorial on this website is very helpful too.
For my Exam, I studied ‘JUST’ from this website for 3 days and I passed my exam. I was understanding the concept while progressing (explanation is simple, mostly in layman language if you have basic understanding of the networks). I got VTP,ACL2 and EIGRP..very similar to what is given in here.
One question in VTP was a bit tricky, same one what Mr.Ketan mentioned. Apart from that if you do the sims provided here, you will be set with no troubles.
Good luck to all the students who wish to give their CCNA. Its not hard, try to understand the concept.
Thanks
For question #1 I did not see the mac address 0010.5a0c.ffba on sw ac3 in the sim. What changed in the sim?
Here ‘s what came up:
Sw-Ac3#show mac
Mac Address Table
——————————————-
Vlan Mac Address Type Ports
—- ———– ——– —–
1 0007.ec12.660c DYNAMIC Fa0/12
22 0007.ec12.660c DYNAMIC Fa0/12
33 0007.ec12.660c DYNAMIC Fa0/12
44 0007.ec12.660c DYNAMIC Fa0/12
99 0007.ec12.660c DYNAMIC Fa0/12
Passed 854 ! When you run the show VTP status and you don’t see the ip address hit enter and it will be on the next line this is a glitch in the sim. When it comes to checking the default gateway I just guessed and used the answer from here this is another glitch I’m sure there is another way to get the default I would suggest finding out in case you run into this glitch on your test. Also when you type the command for the show mac us this command show mac address-table and this should work this is another glitch. Happy testing!!!!….
In the exam, they might have blocked the static mac-address to display on the ‘show mac-address-table/show mac’. In that case you need to enter ‘show run’ and you will be able to see the static mac addresses assigned.
Rich, that might have happened in your case.
In real exam,will tab assist us to complete the command?And also let me know question mark is working for check the commands?
hi 9tut or anybody who knows..regarding the default gateway on the switch. What would happen to the switch if it wan not configured with a default-gateway in the first place? -rom
Hey 9tut thanks for your great help. I got passed CCNA with 947 marks. Questions were easy but when we are working with dumps before taking the exam, dont memorize the answer. Just get a brief understanding about it and then answer. It will help you a lot. And the labs were eigrp, ACL2 and VTP. When doing ACL 2 please try to read the modifications at the bottom part too. Because i got a modified question.
@ Mahesh- Tab is only working for just few commands but the ? does work
Hello,
Today I exam and asked me the following question:
Question:
Out of which ports will a frame be forwarded from SW-AC3
Did not say what MAC or IP address.
DG was not configured on the switch.
Response had to choose Port and when I checked some of them belong to different VLAN.
I chose Port is connected to the router (by guessing).
What do you think I should choose and whether anyone encountered this question?
I’d love to get an answer
help! help! help!, i can not open the questions i downloaded from http://www.9tut.com/download/9tut.com_CCNA_vtp_sim.pka , it says that the file extension is not compatible with the packet tracer 5.2 i have on my laptop. please if anyone have the packet tracer version that can open these sim question please give me.
thank you everyone
@St. You will need packet tracer 5.3.3. That is what worked for me.
I passed today 933/1000. I’m so f…happy. Thanks 9tut.com, all of you that have posted your comments, SEKHAR dump questions and myself…lol. I gained time during the intro of the test and I wrote down some notes, multiples of 16 and 32 for the subnetting exercise. I recommend go through the 15 min of presentation, that will give you confidence and relaxation for the test.
Labs: EIGRP, ACL2, VTP. EIGRP and ACL 100% the same. VTP: Sw-Ac3 was the root, all designated ports. 1st Lab was first question, 2nd Lab question 24 and 3rd Lab question 49. I found that distribution amazing.
I spent only 70 min, so I you are organized you don’t need to worry about the time.
Good luck everybody!!
@recent testtakers who passed
what were the bugs/issues in vtp sim?
and how did you guys solve that?
thanks
Excellent site. A lot of helpful information here. I am sending it to a few buddies ans additionally sharing in delicious. And naturally, thank you on your effort! The Art and Craft of Creating Designer Jewellery http://www.qqyjfs.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=10102
I just pass CCNA exam On 14/03/2013 881/1000 .Thanks 9tut. Labs: EIGRP, ACL2, VTP. EIGRP and ACL 100% the same. VTP: Sw-Ac3 was the root, all designated ports. 1st Lab was 2nd question, 2nd Lab question 32 and 3rd Lab question 46.
MY BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYBODY
when testing on EIGRP lab do you remove the 192.168.85.0 from the Router EIGRP XX.
Yesterday I was tested and unfortunately I got 801 only.
Anyway this question debated a lot whether to remove the network 192.168.85.0 which show ip interface command brife was not supposed to be defined.
Nevertheless, the test question was possible between the two routers and acted.
I’d love to know what you did?
I took this exam March 8. Failed- I could not get the routers on the EIGRP lap to establish neighbourship. I also could not delete bad inputs. I removed the wrong AS number (12) and input the correct one(22) to match the existing router’s configuration. Also placed a Network statement common to both routers and they just wouldn’t talk to each other. I gave up after 20 minutes and then the pressure was on the get everything done in time. The crazy thing was that this question was 2nd out of 50. By the time I got to the access list (47th question), I was so nervous that I was mistyping the commands and ended up with 5 lines in the access-list. I didn’t even get to add it to an interface before the time expired.
For those who passed, please shed some light on this eigrp question if you can. Why was I not able to use ‘sho ip eigrp nei” to see my neighbors. It worked on the existing router, but not on the router with the bad AS number.
Does anyone have information about a VTP SIM question that asks what port Sw-AC3 is connected to VLAN-R1? I encountered it and was surprised by it since it wasn’t in the pool of questions above.
Thank you 9tut… During the exam, just hit enter to show to ip address when running show vtp status. Not all port in SW-AC3 is designate, when you hit another enter or type another command, it will show that there is another root port. I almost perfect the exam, Im just curious about the root bridge.
Thank you the questions infect you have given what i needed please keep it up and am still learning.
Thank you for the questions am still working on it, infect it has improve and revived me again thank you once again.
