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

I passed my exam today. The labs were VTP, ACL2, EIGRP
took the test yesterday. show mac-address-table or show mac-address table cannot be used. i used show mac and it worked.
ashwini.. In exam we hadnt connect swicth ..just they give u the output ,,
download latest dumps from
9 t u t . w e e b l y . c o m
@liam,,, the questions most of them is how networks work, ip addressing, vlan and vtp.. The lap sim was eigrp ,, acl2 with some modificiation,, and vtp,,
Hi All,
Did anybody come across any other simaulation in CCNA 640-802 exam other than the below mentioned simulations,
CCNA NAT SIM Question 1
CCNA NAT SIM Question 2
CCNA Frame Relay Sim
CCNA Configuration SIM Question (RIPv2 SIM)
CCNA VTP SIM
CCNA EIGRP LAB
CCNA Drag and Drop SIM
CCNA Implementation SIM
Thanks :-)
Cheers :-)
Took the exam just an hr ago,i passed with 960.
The labs that came were ACL2,VTP and EIGRP just the same as 9tut,the addresses are the only things that changed.
I hope this will be helpful to those who are yet to take the exam.
I also used ACME and SPIKE.Very Helpfl
I just passed the CCNA exam 1 hour ago. 894/1000.
I read Sybex book and practiced on #ExamCollection dumps + 9tut labs.
Labs were VTP, ACL, EIGRP.
Thanks and all the best to everyone. :)
I just put it to bed with 1000/1000 a few hours ago,
Thank you JESUS
thanks to 9tut, examcollection.com, spike, sekhar, acme, todd lammle, CBTNuggets.
i had EIGRP, VTP, ACL 2,
I wanna lay down a few things concerning sims
EIGRP- the eigrp number was 122, so dont crame and also there was a passive interface and default route on R1 router to ISP , i tried to undo the passive cause i wasnt able to ping ISP from R3 ,but i couldnt so i left it like it is ,i guess i was right
VTP- there is a bug in show vtp status because the info”… last modified by x.x.x.x” is not displayed at first, so i wrote the command again and this second time the information of “last modified” is displayed on the output of the previous command.
ACL 2- it was a bit tricky cause they asked that,host D, not C as here, to be able to access the web of finance server, then all other access of host d to finance server denied, nobody should be able to access finance server meaning core and other hosts, and the last was core and the hosts can access public web server( and the ip address of public web server was given). it is tempting to use permit ip any host x.x.x.x for allowing all users to use the public web server cause ip addr is given but i used permit ip any any, and i was right
goodluck to you all
@mziwanda
Thanks for the useful info. I’m sitting the exam tomorrow
For those still having trouble with “show mac-address-table” for Q 1, “show running-config” should work…
mac-address-table static 0010.5a0c.fd86 vlan 33 interface FastEthernet0/6
mac-address-table static 0010.5a0c.ffba vlan 22 interface FastEthernet0/8
Hope this helps
For question 1 I am not seeing the source MAC address in the question any where in the mac address table as in the example above? Am I doing something wrong?
like you read my mind ccna! that works thanks :)
@Liam I’m also taking it tomorrow in London! :)
Ive been practicing VTP EIGRP and ACL2 because thats what everyone seems to be getting.
@studying, you are correct. the mac address doesn’t show in the results.
the results have different IPs and mac addresses. just know the concept and practice with the commands
can someone clarify this to me please.
in question 9, when i run the command “show running-config”, i see no default gateway in the results like the one in the screenshot in the answer.
Hi everyone!
I took my exam passed 947, ALHAMDULILLAH, in Saudi Arabia today, got questions from this one but you have to have your concepts about vtp cleared.
the sim is the same but the questions are different.
@Ola….neither could I but I guess we have to do “show cdp neighbors” instead to get the local interface on the closest router connected n do “show mac-address-table” to c the mac address connected to that interface..as per the explanation, just skip the “show running-config” bit if it does not work in the exams :(
Hope this makes sense!!!
Thanks 9tut, I pass my exam 933/1000
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?
am real confused with this cause i think the answer could be mac address of the router will be dest mac add ,
can someone help me immediately coz am going to sit for ccna 1 hr next
Hello guys,
I went for CCNA exam today got ACL2 same to same as here apart from host C was host A; EIGRP lab was same to same make sure you do check on all PCs the web browser to both server and when done do the same. There is the passive interface but just ignore it and leave it as it is. for VTP lab I got the 5 questions out from here and where it asked to choose the root switch I just put switch 2 there lolll since everything was the same and even the IP address!!
I want to be very honest I did the CCNA completely in less than 1 month and on top I go to work.. At first I studied the CBT nuggets video for both ICND1 and ICND2 then went for the ACME dumps but didnt know anything so i took the time n studied the chapters where i was having issues in Todd book. Then went back for the dumps. In ACME dumps there are 10 exam papers i did all of them atleast three times. I studied the labs for NAT, VTP, EIGRP AND ACLS only (ONLY EIGRP ACLS2 AND VTP CAME OUT) one day before going for the exam. AND HERE I AM WITH 1000/1000.
TIP :- DO NOT LEARN WHERE THE ANSWERS ARE BUT INSTEAD TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHY ITS THE ANSWER. ALWAYS MAKE GOOD USE OF GOOGLE!!
CCNA PASSED >> GOING FOR CCNP
THANKS A LOT GOD, MY FAMILY , 9TUT, ACME, CBTNUGGETS AND TODD.
@ ccna i did the show cdp nei comand,which one is the local interface? that way i can look it up
thanks Acme & 9tut, I pass 947, same labs eigrp,vtp & acl2. good luck!!
hi all, today i passed ccna exam and i got 1000 marks. thanks a lot 9tut for your simulation.
keep it up . you are helping lot of people.thanks..thanks..
@tinz
well the way I looked it up was through VLAN-R1…”show cdp neighbors detail on the router….
outcome..
VLAN-R1#show cdp neighbor
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
Sw-Ac3 Fas 0/0.1 153 S 2960 Fas 0/3
VLAN-R1#
notice the PORT ID (fas 0/3)
“show cdp neighbors detail on Sw-Ac3 gives the same interface details…
outcome..
Device ID: VLAN-R1
Entry address(es):
Platform: cisco C2600, Capabilities: Router

notice they all show the same interface (fas 0/3) n all other subinterfaces linked
NB: the mac address remains one regardless of how many subs….
hope this helps..
plzz tell me I did not end up confusing everyone even more!!!!!!!
i passed the examen today. 933 points.
for this lab, it was a bit different. Example for question 6, when I issued “show vtp status” I didn’t get the “last modified date …” at the end of the output.
i have passed ccna exam today with 868 thanks for 9tut same scenario eigrp vtp access-list\
Passed the exam today. Make sure that you ask the test center if they test the computer and peripherals. During my test, the mouse was not working properly. The “Next” button didn’t want to move unless I would click several times. Likewise, the PC rebooted for no apparent reason during the later part of my exam. I could have scored higher if I didn’t lose my momentum. But thanks to God, I passed!
All 9 tut questions and material are the key to pass. I passed an hour ago with 981 Sims are VTP (1,2,3,7,8 were the questions), ACL2(at the question change was host D can access the server), EIRGRP. Dump I srudied was leed2pass and Acme. Dumps are correct. But people 9 tut is enough.
One of my friend faced this issue yesterday while giving ccna exam. He couldnt see “last modified ” details after executing show vtp status command. Can someone suggest please what needs to be done to see this output properly.
Just took my exam today and passed with 828 (how close!) but a pass is a pass. Sims were ACL2 EIGRP and VTP.
It says five-multiple question. But why there are more then five question? As I remember from my exams there were then 5 question either.
Just passed my ccna! 50 questions in 90 mins? Is it same to everyone? My booking says 110 mins.
3 Labs – EIGRP, ACL2 and VT and questions from 9tut/sehkhar/todd lam book with slight changes.
ACL2:
1. Allow host C to access HTTP on Finance svr
2. Block Host C to access any other services on Finance Server
3. Block All other LAN and Core elements to connect F.Server
4. Allow full access to Public and other core services for All
Access-list 100 permit tcp host 192.168.33.3 host 172.22.149.19 eq www
Access-list 100 deny ip any host 172.22.149.19
Access-list 100 permit ip any any
int f0/1
ip access-group 100 out
EIGRP:
New router ‘central2’ connect to ‘cerntral1’ find fault and allow routing b/w all routers, ‘Central2’ hasn’t have access to ISP at this stage. (means your ping test to ISP will fail … so no issues )
Area: 112
First: sh run on Central2 -> remove incorrect area 22 -> now define eigrp with 112 and add networks
Second: add missing network onto Central1 to establish adjacency b/w central2 & central1 … cmd = router eigrp 112 -> network 192.168.33.0
Now test connectivity b/w rotuers using PING cmd
VTP Q:
1. in my case, swAC3 was root bridge for forwarding vtp info – local switch, the ip was 192.168.1.250
2. Tell modal of VLAN-R1 – 2620
3. asked to tell mac address for an ip, i used command show mac address-table instead of SHOW MAC-ADDRESS-TABLE, so carefull
4. what is default gateway IP for host connect to port fa0/4, it was VLAN 22 –Server, and IP is 192.168.22.254
Passed the exam with a score of 933 .Thanks to 9tut all the labs were from your site.
i passed ccna today 854/1000.
be carefully as sometimes when you press a space bar while typing a command it skip to next line before finishing a command.
also when you say show run ,other details in running config are missing so you have to re-type
show run again so as to populate all the configs.
NOTE: Passing CCNA is not only about deep understanding of a course but also exam environment may lead to frustration as other command fail to be executed.
God bless u 9tut!!!!!! I failed on the 18th with 775, and just 2 hours ago on my 2nd attempt I did it with 841!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):):):) I got EXACTLY the same lab sim!! best of the luck to all the guys that are gonna make the exam in this days!!!
Just Passed my CCNA, took 2 weeks a ago and failed by 10 points, this time i concentrated on my weaker areas frame relay , ospf & eigrp, got 917 but should of got more as i forgot to put in the ip access-group command for the acl lab, thanks to 9tut, sekhar & spike. if your taking the exam this weekend , All the best :)
no matter hw many times u fail, never give up
Just passed my ccna today with 933, thanks 9tut for all the stuff and the labs.
Best luck for other guy who will pass the new ccna, starting on october 1st…
Hi all. Thanks for all the comments here. I take my exam on Monday the 30th September 2013. Is it worth sticking to the sims here? I hear the questions are changed on Fridays. Is this true? If so, how can one get the updated one for Monday.
Hi Dynasty05,
The sims here are spot on, there might be a change of host or server that you create the acl or AS number in the eigrp labs but nothing to difficult, Good luck
Hi folk, I’m goin’ to have my exam tomorrow (Sep. 29, 2013), I already studied the most frequent sims. (VTP, ACL2 & EIGRP) but as it’s my first time to have a Cisco exam, I just wanted to know plz if it’s enough for me only to study those 3 sims., Or I’ve to study some others as well?!
Plz reply me, I’t Emergency..
Thanks all :)
Will be heading for my CCNA exam after an hour. Please pray for me as this is the first time I’ll be writing my CISCO exams. Thanks.
hi guys some command not enable like ” show running config” 27 Sep 2013. CCNA Exam 640-802. Reason of mostly students fails of CCNA final Exam.thanks
@dynasty05 the questions didn’t change, i passed the exam yesterday and i have almost the same questions and the 3 labs sim like vtp, acl, and eigrp. So just study this 3 labs sim and don’t forget the command copy run start, best luck on monday
I cleared my CCNA exam 10 days back. When I went to check for that certification, it says me that I have to pay 15$ to get printed certificate.
Do I get the printed certificate or get an electronic certificate??
Thanks Geege. So I’ll echo Beko’s question. Does it suffice to just got through the VTP, ACL, and EIGRP sims? Or is it “necessary” to go through the other sims ? I know studying the other sims is “wise”; but probably not very pacticable for me given the short time I have. How do I avoid unpleasant surprises!!!!
Just passed my exam … labs were ACL 2 , VTP & EIGRP … thy were somehow exactly like the labs here …. even much easier … the EIGRP was a little bit confusing but keep calm and do what you used to do here …. thank you 9tut and spike for your dumps … :) good luck for all who will take the exam in the next couple days :)
I have passed my CCNA certification today, Labs ACL, VTP and EIGRP sim, my suggestion for clearing the exam practice the dums and be clear of the concepts of each and every Qn. and Answers. Don’t attend the exam in tension just relaxed you can clear easily. My special thanks to 9tut site which helps me to understand the concept to pass my CCNA.
