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:
Question 9, the default gateway on the switch is irrelevant and strictly for remote switch management.
From the information the SIM provides we know that VLAN-R1 is configured as a “router on stick” and is providing routing for all VLANs through its subinterfaces. All we need to find out is the MAC address of the router interface that connects VLAN-R1 to Sw-AC3, and even though there are multiple subinterfaces it’s important to know that each subinterface will use the same MAC address (which is the MAC address of the physical interface), therefore it’s the same for all traffic.
That said all you need to do is “show cdp neighbor” on Sw-AC3 and find out which switchport connects to VLAN-R1. Then issue “show mac address-table” and you’ll see the MAC address Sw-AC3 has learned on that switchport.
i didn’t see the mac addresses in this sim matching up with what were in the questions on the packet tracer at least not on 2 questions
I passed my ccna today, I score 920/1000. Thanks 9tut and Spike.662q. Sims: VTP, EIGRP, ACL2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usgqgPMGKZQ&feature=c4-overview-vl&list=PLxTcKTJPFY7NmCZ5pVscLcDNOVYqSg6n2
Thank You
would like to share that today i took the exam and experienced that
show mac-address table or show mac address table and show cdp neighbors were not available commands to execute…
fortunately it just 2 item and i passed the exam..
i passed my ccna exams today.thnx 9tut and spike 100%valid
i passed CCNA today and i got 986 /1000.
The total question is 50 and 3 simulation.
Almost everything is same but they change a bit of IP address and AS number in EIGRP simulation and they change some ports number and device name in VTP Simulation. And the ACL simulation is
- Host C should be able to use a web browser(HTTP)to access the Finance Web Server
- Other types of access from host C 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 *
which already show in 9tut website and the real exam change the ip address
thanks a lot 9tut :D
Just passed CCNA exam yesterday. Thanks 9tut and Spike.
Thank you for everthing 9tut!!
I passed my exam 907/1000
VTP Sim, EIGRP and ACL 2
Also, I saw a few question about frame relay I havent seen before – be careful
Hi all,
Can you tell me more about the sims on the real exam. Are there only questions on wich you have to answer by using the show command or do you need to config something?
Thanks for 9tut. Just pass with 994 today, All from 9tut and exam collection and VTP, EIGRP, ACL2 were on exam!
Hi, yesterday i passed my CCNA with 900 score.dumps are valid.but i think there are some mistakes in dumps i read.
dumps are valid
lab-ACL2,EIGRP,VTP.
passing score is 825
exam cost is bit high.. including tax.. it is 20984
Thanks to 9tut.. very useful ..labs part i got from 9tut examples.its very useful
all the best to all

Dear all ,, I have passed today with 960,,, Some suggestion for you to pass ur ccna. I remember almost all the questions and lab that i had in my exam.
1. just focus spikes 662 (no other question from this vce)
2. 9 tut is gr8.. All the labs from it. (ACL2, EIGRP, VTP)
In real exam that i have faced today has some problems. but may b it is not.
question in my lab is simple : From which switch did Sw-Ac3 receive VLAN information ?
i used command sh vtp status but last line in which IP Address mentioned were not displayed and the option for answers are
sw-AC2
sw-DS1
VLAN-R
local
I answered local,, dont know this is the right answer or not, but i hv tried so many times the command sh vtp status.last line didnt show
2nd: The were question : What address should be configured as the default-gateway for the host connected to interface fa 0/4 of SW-Ac3?
i run the command sh vlan an got vlan 33 but when i checked the ip address of vlan 33 with command sh cdp neighbor detail. there is not information about any vlan 33 and this port. and also there is no any where mentioned about 0.33 belongs to which f0/0.3 of subinterface of router. So i roughly answer with 192.168.33.254.
3rd: In EIGRP same topology and i had changed in Router 2 and i have tried alot to change the passive interface of s1/0 which was connected to internet router,, but couldnt changed. hahhaa dont try it guyz.
4rth: same scenario in ACL2 with modification 2nd last 1.
any help saami302@hotmail.com
The answer explanation seems odd. If a packet destination is not in the same subnet, it goes to default gateway which is the default gateway of VLAN# which the sender(host) belongs to. I can image most of case the default-gateway in switch itself is the same as default gateway of the VLAN, but as far as I know the default-gateway statement in switch itself doesnt’ affect routing of packets from host sending, it’s only used for outside to telnet to the switch.
Am I not correct?
Just took it today and passed (894)!!! WOO HOO!
One thing that tripped me up was question #6 (on my test it was number 3) on the VTP Sim.
Question: From which switch did Sw-Ac3 receive VLAN information ?
When I typed in Show VTP status (many times) there was NO “configuration last modified by” entry. I had to guess. Is there another way to determine the source of of VLAN information?
Anyway, thanks 9tut! You guys rock!
Hey Mr. Jodoi please just send your videos if you can speak English and if not for love of God please stop it…
Passed today 920. Valid in Australia. Don’t memorize the answers. All the SIM are from 9tut but with slight modifications
If the last line of the o/p “show vtp status” shows “Configuration last modified by 0.0.0.0″ does it mean that the switch modified itself its own database.
I just passed the Test .. got 894 out of 1000 … some modifications in the labs .. First of all …. those how does not know if question mark ? work to complete a command .. does not work .. either TAB……. Study the commands ..
Now ..
3 LABS .. EIGRP , ACLS AND VTP
IN EIGRP .. THE AS WAS DIFFERENT, MAIN ROUTER or R1 got a network that was not listed as neighbor, and also was missing a network to ROUTER R3 … in router r3 I change the AS and add a neighbor from R1
IN VTP .. There is a bug , the question ……….From which switch did Sw-Ac3 receive VLAN information ?
show vtp status command did not show any ip address … so I was not able to detect how was the switch … I failed this question ..
Some questions show in the test..
What ports on Sw-AC3 are operating has trunks
Which switch is the root bridge for VLAN 1
the default-gateway for the host connected to interface fa 0/4 of SW-Ac3
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?
This last question .. was inverse .. the x switch got a lower revision … the other switch got a higher revision • .. therefore the vlans present on it will stay .. so X vlans will be remove cause the other switch was the modifier
And in the last Lab .. Which was the ACL ..
Only host A will access financial serve through port 80 permit tcp host …host … eq 80
deny any host to access public server Deny Ip any host ……….
and permit any communication with the rest of the servers permit IP Any Any
Thanks 9 tut .. I helped a lot to get this certification!! so I want to share with the rest and help as much I as can !!! Any question just let me know
I took the test yesterday and failed… I think the reason was that I couldn’t get my ACL’s to save. I tried the wr mem, but it didn’t work. This site had all of the information needed to pass the exam. I will be setting the exam again in two weeks. I have to get this done before the exam changes on Sept 30. All of you that have passed congratulations and for those who like me didn’t pass let’s not give up NO Try Only Do… Good luck. BTW, All sims were on the test.
This question was buggy especially with the commands, sometimes it would return ambiguous command and I had to type the show commands multiple times for it to work.
They also asked me the destination MAC address question, which was the default gateway (VLAN-R1), however the show mac address was not returning the correct values and the correct MAC address was not available from the list of answers. I definitely got that one wrong.
OK, I’m doing this VTP simulation, but there is a problem: DTP-5-DOMAINMISMATCH: Unable to perform trunk negotiation on port Fa0/12 because of VTP domain mismatch
With the command show mac-address-table I can not see the source MAC address 0010.5a0c.ffba
Sw-Ac3#show mac-address-table
Mac Address Table

What am I doing wrong?
About the router version this is all:

Does the configuratin work on the real test?
Hi all of you,
I retook the exam yesterday, I was very confident until I finished the exam. I did the three Sim correctly & verify it. But lastly, when I see the result, it’s below the passing mark. It was amazing. I prepared well. Now I have plan to take it again, I will go to Africa two weeks after. Is the CCNA exam similar to all continents/Countries? Shall I prepare only this dump?
Thank you
hi Guyz,
In the real exam there is a minus if I type no ip domain-lookup or now.
because i fail in a exam yesterday.
can you pls explain to me.
Passed August 9th! With a 843. About 5 drag and drops, Eigrp is “122″ and the IPs are different, VTP i forgot “sh vtp status” command so i guessed at that one question. Also I got the exact SIM from the dump for Access List 2 to allow Host C to finance. Took the test in NJ if that helps. Good luck and Take your time! Would not have passed without the Chris Bryant Advantage (to actually learn the material), examcollection, and 9tut!
exam’s today!!!
arg..my heart’s pounding
ii have cleared the exam .the dumps available in this site http://ruturl.com/tja
allah hu akbar.
I passed ccna today. thank you 9tut, the lab questions were from here:)
Passed my CCNA today with a 920. Had three sims: VTP, access list, and EIGRP. 9tut was a great help, with about 1/3 of the questions from the site.
Good information, and many thanks for this!!
I have a correction, in question 9, the destination IP address that a host will use to reach a different network than it is in, will be one of the used as DG from that host in particular.
192.168.1.254 is the DG address of the switch Sw-Ac3, and it will be used for example in the case you want to administer the switch accessing from other network, or in case that the host connected to Sw-Ac3 be in vlan1. Otherwise de DG could be 192.168.22.254, 33.254 or 44.254.
The answer is the same, the MAC address is 000a.b7e9.8360, but i wanted to clear this normal mistake.
Sorry for my bad english.
Greetings
Hey guys. is this sim question included in the ICND2 exams? or it is isolated within 640-802 exam only?
