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:
To which port of sw-ac3 is router vlan-r1 connected
I saw this post on some VTP exercise on the net how can we know tha answer for this one?
[VTP Lab]
Hi, I have passed CCNA week ago, with score 1000/1000 :)
Exam was easy, all questions known, labs were ACL2, EIGRP and VTP.
For preparing I’ve used Cisco CCNA Exploration curriculums, Odom’s books, 9tut, Spike and Acme dumps.
My advise is first go through all subjects in Odom’s books or
exploration curriculum, try to pick up all concepts, then go through 9tut questions and labs, if you have any doubts go back to book, and in the end practise some dump to gain in speed.
There were sume bugs in VTP sim, try to give it same time to stabilize, and then try again.
Thanks a lot to 9tut and examcollection!!!
And very best to all of you :)
p.s. If anyone have questions I’ll try to help so ask ;)
Q9 its not showing ip default gateway address in show running-config command output please help…thnx in advance
Hey Jelena….If you have the latest dumps please forward to me. I am gonna write it on April 27,2013. Not only dumps, if you have any material please forward to me at bhargav.bhalodia@gmail.com. Thanking you in advance.
I passed today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 89%
After 6 month of study + pass4sure lolz!!!!!
People, what’s in here is the copy n paste of the exam, they just changed tid bits of number and so on lolz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks
@ Jelena
Can you explain the VTP bug?
Jelena
Can you pls help me to pass the exam just send the latest dumps and any material to my email junemahor@yahoo.com thanks you in advance . congtz!
hi everybody can Anyone Please!!!!!! send me the latest dump i am going to have exam next week .
same vtp in my exam i have passed
@saran
congrats
A router receives information about network 192.168.10.0/24 from multiple sources. What will the router consider the most reliable information about the path to that network?
A. an OSPF update for network 192.168.0.0/16
B. a static router to network 192.168.10.0/24
C. a static router to network 192.168.10.0/24 with a local serial interface configured as the next hop
D. a RIP update for network 192.168.10.0/24
E. a directly connected interface with an address of 192.168.10.254/24
F. a default route with a next hop address of 192.168.10.1
Answer: E
I think both C & E could be correct answers because both have administrative distance of 0
Passed CCNA today! 960/1000..
VTP sim had a problem in the exam..”Show VTP Status” command is messed up.. I used “Show VTP” (with out “status”) instead and then only you will see the last VTP update device source IP.
Advise to my fellow 9tutians..
Work hard, all you need is to understand the core concepts, subnetting, CBT Nuggets and then visit the dumps & 9tut sims.
Best of luck to all..
By the way,
I referred only the 9tut dumps and sims.. nothing else is needed to pass..
@examtaker static route has administrative distance = 1
Hey, anyone else having a problem getting to the ICND1/ICND2 site?
@moneta
Offcourse static route configured with next hop address has AD=1, but static route with serial interface configured as the next hop has AD=0; because this configuration makes the route as directly connected neighbors [source todd lammle 6th edition]
Router(config)#ip route 172.16.3.0 255.255.255.0 s0/0/0
Instead of using a next-hop address, we can use an exit interface that will make the route
show up as a directly connected network.
Which of the following are true regarding OSPF areas? (Choose three.)
A. You must have separate loopback interfaces configured in each area.
B. The numbers you can assign an area go up to 65,535.
C. The backbone area is also called area 0.
D. If your design is hierarchical, then you don’t need multiple areas.
E. All areas must connect to area 0.
F. If you have only one area, it must be called area 1.
OSPF routing uses the concept of areas. What are the characteristics of OSPF areas? (Chose three)
A – Each OSPF area requires a loopback interface to be configured
B – Areas may be assigned any number from 0 to 65535
C – Area 0 is called the backbone area
D – Hierarchical OSPF networks do not require multiple areas
E – Multiple OSPF areas must connect to area 0
F – Single area OSPF networks must be configured in area 1
@Sagar
>>Q9 its not showing ip default gateway address in show running-config command output lease help…thnx in advance
Noticing the same, I found the answer by doing a show “show cdp neighbors” on Sw-Ac3 to see what router(s) connected to the switch, in this case VLAN-R1.
Sw-Ac3#sh cdp neighbors
Capability Codes: R – Router, T – Trans Bridge, B – Source Route Bridge
S – Switch, H – Host, I – IGMP, r – Repeater, P – Phone
Device ID Local Intrfce Holdtme Capability Platform Port ID
VLAN-R1 Fas 0/3 144 R C2600 Fas 0/0
Sw-Ds1 Fas 0/12 144 S 2950 Fas 0/12
VLAN-R1 Fas 0/3 144 R C2600 Fas 0/0.1
VLAN-R1 Fas 0/3 144 R C2600 Fas 0/0.22
VLAN-R1 Fas 0/3 144 R C2600 Fas 0/0.33
VLAN-R1 Fas 0/3 144 R C2600 Fas 0/0.44
Sw-Ac2 Fas 0/9 144 S 2960 Fas 0/9
Since this is the only neighboring router connected via Fa0/3, I used “show cdp neighbors detail” to find the gateway address on VLAN-R1 router, which will be used as the host default gateway.
Sw-Ac3#show cdp neighbors detail
Device ID: VLAN-R1
Entry address(es):
IP address : 192.168.1.254
Platform: cisco C2600, Capabilities: Router
Interface: FastEthernet0/3, Port ID (outgoing port): FastEthernet0/0.1
Holdtime: 143

—————————
NOTE: The “show cdp neighbors detail” will have additional entries for VLAN-R1 IP address 192.168.22.254, 192.168.33.254, and 192.168.44.254 but they are still all on Interface Fa0/3, so you want to find the MAC address of Fa0/3.
In the real exam, if there are more one routers, hopefully the “show running-config” will provide the default gateway.
Dude, the lab and answers barely jive at all. I have done enough labs that I am able to work through it, the information and diagrams represented do not match up with the .pka hardly at all. I don’t understand how you expected beginners to follow this. I appreciate the help, but this type of assistance can do as much harm for a true beginner as it could do good. I am not being mean, just being honest.
@examtaker Consider that
Direct connected network AD=0
Static Route can only have AD>=1
So if you try to insert a static route to a same subnet of a direct connect network you can insert a static route but only AD = 1 or major.
So the right answer is E.
Bye
To God be the glory! Pass today 920. sims are ACL2, VTP, and EIGRP. Used Sekhar for the multiple choice, 9tut labs, and CCNA 6th ed by Todd Lammle for better understanding.
Jelena
Can you pls help me to pass the exam just send the latest dumps and any material to my email boubachezkamdem@yahoo.fr thanks you in advance . congtz!
Hi guys I did my exam yesterday the GNS3, ACL2 and EIGRP with many questions from this website were in exam. study very careful and they are the same questions but in a different way . watch out for time I was running out of time I missed few questions. I wishes you the best
@dankar
when you use command show vtp status, configuration last modified by …. is not shown, same with show vtp, but if you wait and enter another command it will appear later above your current command, also this two commands show vtp status and show vtp are showing different numbers considering configuration revision and ip address of configuration last modified by
@Jelena
congrats and thanks for posting your experience with us!
I already commented on the share you exp. section but my comment doesnt show up lol!
@SilverStone
thanks :)
@dankar
I my exam I decided to use output of show vtp status regarding revision number and ip address of switch from witch the SW3 received vtp update, not the output of show vtp, in my case it was good choice
GOT 986…IN VTM sim had a bug..in question 4 I was not able to find the root port states show cdp neighbors..all ports were designated..in Q7 all the options were different
@Anonymous
COngrats sir! did you encounter new questions on your exam?
because somebody is spreading rumors about the exam being changed im nervous :(
@Anoynymous, congratulation and can you share what u got in Q7 plz? what was different
Jelena
can you pls! send me the latest packet tracer and crank of vce to my email: junemahor@yahoo.com because the other vce is not working 5 question only appear.
thnx.
Q4: The explanation suggests that because the interface role is root on FA0/12, its the directly linked switch – why isn’t it the switch BEYOND SW-DC1, namely SW-AC1?
PASSED TODAY 894/1000, PPL!!! THX TO 9TUT AND PASS4SURE. SO F****NG HAPPY :DDDDDDDD
Hello!! I would appreciate if I can get the latest dumps for my CCNA exam next week on April 27,2013. I would like them on bhargav.bhalodia@gmail.com. Thanking you in advance.
pls i’m finding it difficult to install d visual cert exam suite…
pls. help me im planning to take the exam this comming june,can u please give me the previous actual exam..
and please give some advise how to pass the exam.
hi kindhearted 9tutians,
can anyone of you send the latest dump to junstork@gmail.com. Your kindest help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. :)
MY Exam on 22 April regarding Q9 destination MAC Add, how it will be the MAC add of Fa0/3 as this port is Switch 3 port it should be MAC add of FA0/0 on the Router, when you use the command sh cdp nei you can obviously see the router port is fa0/0.
please advise.
hello to everyone,can someone send latest dump to balajadian15@yahoo.com.God will pay for your kindness.Thank you very much
Hello Everyone, I have passed the CCNA exam today with 907 marks. the labs were same VTP,EIGRP & ACL. EIGRP is slightly different but the method is same. I studies pass for sure dumps and they came 100% in the exam. Thank you 9tut for your help. :)
Can any one plz help me in VTP sim.
that is i want to find mac address 0010.5a0c.ffba?
then i had given sh mac-address-table.
but inthat table it was not showing that mac address plzzzzzzzzz help me
@salman
assalamu bhai
bhai mujhey thodha help kardo na plzzzzzzz plz tell me
tat we can use ?
in exam and tab also wat is the procedure y means tmrw am gng to write the exam.
@anonymous
you have to use “show mac address-table”. Than it works….
we can use in exam ?,tab
plz help me
@Anonymous: in my exam it worked, but there’s reports some ppl cant use this. So i advise you learn the complete commands
I don’t have enough time for taking preparation with everything, Please help me to get some better idea about the SIM exam in CCNA, I really need to get some very common SIM examples.
Salman can u sent us ur pass4sure dump :)
Question #9′s Explanation implies that the packet will use a particular Default-Gateway because it is configured on the switch. The packet will be sent to the mac address of the gateway configured on the source, not the gateway on the switch (unless the packet is originating on the switch itself).
@ Anonymous: no we can not use it in the exam & also the show mac address-table works fine.
@ Theo pls. share your email so i will send…secondly another important thing in the last question of VTP sim they provide IP addresses rather the mac-address i was not able to figure that out. so you have to find out the mac-address from IP address.
9tut Labs are very valid, took the exam yesterday from Nigeria same question only different IP amd Mac address
