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:
anybody aware with the answer of the following question..
refer to the exhibit. Router interface is being configured for frame relay.
However, as the exhibit shows, the router will not accept the command to configure the LMI type. what is the problem?
router(config)#interface serial 0/0
router(config-if)#frame-relay lmi-type cisco
% Unrecognized command
router(config-if)#frame-relay ?
% Unrecognized command
A. The interface does not support frame Relay connections.
B. The interface does not have an ip address assigned to it yet.
C. the interface requiers that the no shutdown command be configured first.
D. The interface requires that the encapsulation frame-relay command be configured first.
the answer on the dump is D. but i think A is correct. Because when i enter the command: “router(config-if)#frame-relay lmi-type cisco” before entering “router(config-if)# encapsulation frame-relay” it says “Must set encapsulation to FrameRelay before using FrameRelay subcommands”
check out the output below
Router(config-if)#
Router(config-if)#frame-relay lmi-type ?
ansi
cisco
q933a
Router(config-if)#frame-relay lmi-type cisco
Must set encapsulation to FrameRelay before using FrameRelay subcommands
Router(config-if)#frame-relay ?
interface-dlci Define a DLCI on an interface/subinterface
lmi-type Use CISCO-ANSI-CCITT type LMI
map Map a protocol address to a DLCI address
Router(config-if)#
You just set the encapsulation to frame relay on the interface
Jelena,
can u pls! send me the odom’s book to my email junemahor@yahoo.com
thanks and more power.
Hi 9tut and all,
can anybody tell me which type of cable is connected between switches of trunk ports in the example.
cross cable or straight
crossover cable
Passed today 933/1000 Thanks Sekhar.Dump still 100% valid laps (EIGRP,ACL2,VTP) same as 9tut
May I please the latest dump for this vtp lab for packet tracer. Because I downloaded the one in compressed folder and the settings are off by a bit its not listing Mac-address that should be on the table.
DustinV90@gmail.com
PPassed CCNA with 947/1000…. A very big thanks to 9tut… Practicals wer EIGRP, ACL2, VTP…. It was exact same as whats given here in 9tut… I would also recommend to go through Spike and Sekhar dumps…. 9tut Rocks!!!!
Hi everybody, I passed today with 972, it seems that i failed in Network device security 60% but everything 100%, thanks to 9tut.com and examcollection and everyone ,, THANKS a lot
practics were ACL 2, EIGRP, Access List Sim1.
@raptor access list sim 1 or 2
passed today 986% many thanks to 9tut and exam collection
Passed today…
Labs…… ACL2, EIGRP and VTP (Same as 9tut with some minor changes)
TIPS for the exam: subnetting should be on your finger tips and you should be able to answer it in less than 30 secs and then you can utilise the time on lab sims as they are time consuming coz you need to maneuver between different screens…..
Thank you 9tut, Jeremy@Cbtnuggets for explaining all the concepts and Sekhar
Can someone tell me about the VTP bug?
Is the default gateway available after issuing a show run?
Is it mandatory to do a copy run start.
Please answer for all those who already took the exam
Thanks!
I had cleared CCNA with 960 point. I found all questions were the same with completely different mac address and ip address. So you need to be master on this lab. Practice many times before you go for exam. Thanks 9tut.
Passed just now(960)…labs were acl2,eigrp,vtp…thanks alot 9 tut and prepking.
@kay i found only one thing not working properly taht the command show mac-address-table command wont work instead of that use show mac address-table.
If show run is not showing the default gateway then use show cdp neighbors and then show cdp neighbors detail…so you will come to know the interface and the default gateway
@udgir
Using the show cdp neighbors, I was able to locate my router. The Fa0/0 of this router has been assigned an ip address and also it has subinterfaces. So, can I conclude that the default-gateway is the ip address of the physical interface (not the subinterfaces) of the router? Please tell me if my assumption is correct.
By the way, are the questions from the dump exactly the same?
@kay for show cdp neighbors you ll get
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.
@udgir boy
Thank you so much. I got that. :) Men you’re great
What dumps did you use? Are the questions exactly the same
extre thnx to 9tut…passed ccna 1000/1000…. <3 <3
@mahesh
what dumps did you use?
completedexam today, i got 1000/1000. Thaks to God, and also to the guy who prepared this site and all the participants; u were amazing.
I met no new question at all. I bet all questions are from 9tut, including the multiple choise, drag & drop and off course the sims are copy. i prepared approximately about 2 month or less for the exam.
The sims are Access list 2. (permit host C to use web browser to access financial server; deny deny any traffic from the core as well as the lan, including host c, from accessing financial server. Permit hosts in the lan and core to access public web server, i used “permit ip any any”. The eigrp sim is also similar… AS=2, but it has a little bug… when i remove the unnecessary network from the hub router, it removes the other networks. i tried to correct and it was still buggy. But thankfully when i came back after configuring the other router, it was stabilized. Their was a bug in vtp sim also; It shows the choices without displaying the question. I tried to communicate with them by comment and thankfully they corrected. Anyways, finished the exam before 30 minutes.
my strategies are as follows
1st. i read the concepts using sybex ccna 6th edition, it explains everything briefly and deeply. if i didn’t understand some concepts, i refer ccna video by jeremy
2nd. i came to 9tut site and did all the sims and questions. when i got confused about some concepts or when i’m not sure about them, i refer back the sybex book or ccna video training by jeremy or the tutorials on 9tut.com. trying to understand the concepts is much better than memorizing the question. memorizing the question should be the last option.
3. I used spike dump for confidence building… but almost all questions here are repeated there
Thanks to the Almighty God again
@examtaker
can you elaborate on how you resolved the vtp bug?
@kay
i just told them on the comment box that only the choices are displayed without the question, it is corrected after 1-2 minutes.
there was also a bug in access list2 sim. i wrote the following commands correctly
access-list 110 permit tcp host [ip address of host C] host [ip address of finance S.] eq 80
access-list 110 deny ip any host [ip address of finance S.]
access-list 110 permit ip any any
but when i checked the running-config, there is no the 2nd access-list statement. I deleted the access-list and recreated, this time it was okay.
So my advise is that its better to check the running-config after entering the commands.
doing icnd2 next week would someone be kind enough to email me latest dumps
I tried this lab, but the show mac-address-table and show mac address-table command do not show the mac address 0010.5a0c.ffba …
I see that Fa 0/8 is up and runnig, but no address mac are provided via this link???
How do we do in this case?
Today “PASSED”
it should be easy with 9tut.
All are VALID.
please i need latest. ccna dumb … i’ll be really grateful if anyone cares

configuration last modified by: x.x.x.x was not shown ,
when I did the show vtp status command yesterday in the exam.
PASS today. 907. People watch the ACL and do a running config after to make sure it stuck. Mine didn’t and had to redo it. Then it stuck. EIGRP, VTP, and ACL. The VTP was really squirly an couldn’t put in command CDP at all. SO be watchful. Thank god. Osama you have everything you need here. I used Pass4Sure and they have the same things.

Passed today with 947/1000.
1st : Todd Lammle CCNA Study Guide
2nd : 9tut, excellent material, thanks!!!
3rd : a bit of spike dumps, but it’s not necessary, 9tut is enough if you read all sections.
Simulations were ACL2, VTP, EIGRP.
hey green currently i m working in hard core networking….so concept is clear……… can u please share me shekhar and spike sim
I just nailed it with 986/1000. All questions came from SEKHAR, except maybe 1 extra which I don’t remember exactly, something about configuring SSH-only input on the router using “transport input ssh”.
Labs were ACL2, EIGRP and VTP, but in VTP one of the questions had some new “catches”: Q6 “From where did Sw-Ac3 receive VLAN information?” – the same as 9tut, but when typing “sh vtp status” I didn’t see the last line saying “Configuration last modified by” or anything similar. I solved it by typing just “show vtp” instead and I got “Last update by 192.168.1.250 on VLAN1″ or something along that line. Now a new problem – this IP didn’t match anything in “sh cdp neighbor”, so I checked “sh ip int brief” and there it was: VLAN1 with IP address 192.168.1.250 – the right answer was: last update was received locally (Sw-Ac3).
In the ACL2 lab, last requirement was “All hosts in the Core and local LAN should be able to access the Public Web Server” so I did just what 9tut says: “access-list 100 permit ip any any” instead of “access-list 100 permit ip any [IP address of Public Web Server]” and I got maximum points!
By the way, TAB and “?” worked during the sims.
Many thanks to SEKHAR and all of you who made this site possible! You are making the exams look like piece of cake :)
Passed Today as well with 854/1000. umm Thanks Lord.. ACL2 didnt work correctlry for me but anyway i passed.
When i do show mac address table it comes only fa0/9 and fa0/12 what is the matter?
