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 just passed the CCNA to day with a 881 score
Thank You 9tut I couldn’t have done it with out you
@ oct 18
i dont know your name…but thank you very much
your information is so help to me
good job
@ arif
yes it is must…
be careful otherwise you will loose the marks
they need the answer in order
can anyone tell me which is the latest version of packet tracer?
and
where i can get the s/w?
thanks @18 oct
Passed ccna today with 973/1000.sims same like 9tut
only the ip has changed and autonomous numb.vtp 5
questions.acl permit host b ,deny others hosts to access
finance serv. Ip has changed too.i used sekhar and brar
for the new questions from 380 to 631q there are a lot of new questions there that are not in sekhar but i
got only 2 or 3 new questions the rest are from sekhar
697q.
I got three drags and drops (destination mac 3333 -sourc mac 999,verify url,etc…Thanks mike,18oct,arif,9tut,sekhar and examcollect
@ 19oct950pts
Congratulations.
Going to fix my exam at 22Oct.
congratulations 19oct950points
all the best arif
my date is 23
Hi Sana ,Arif,
My date is tomorrow ,which SIMs to master.
Is NAT sim important ,i have completely ignored it
@mrparab
i also skiped NAT.. but just see the NAT sim oncemore if you want
acl2, eigrp and this vtp is the sims was expected to appear in exam
but ip addresses can change
all the very best for your exam and i need your exam experience so after you finish the exam send me feedback psanathanan@yahoo.com
@ all
Which commands allow you to verify the encapsulation type ( cisco, ietf ) for a frame relay link?
a. show frame-relay map
b. show frame-relay lmi
c. show inter serial
d. show frame-relay pvc
from the dumps the answer is -b ” show frame-relay lmi “,
but i thought its -a ” show frame-relay map ” ………..anyone please explain
@cathyk
my god …. its really confusing
in jerico dumbs ans was A
in sekhar dumbs ans was B
this is really bad to newcomrs
in my case i am go with seker dumbs because it has some explanation
so my answer is show frame-relay lmi
@mrparab
We all hope that SIMs will be EIGRP, VTP and ACL2 but just touch the NAT for your safety.
And Please update your status, share which SIMs was for you and also about questions i mean all are they from dumps.
Best of luck.
@sana
Thanks. I will share my experiences after exam on 22Oct after 8pm.
please can somebdy help me get last ccna last dumps i will pass exam soon
at tfayosseh@yahoo.com
hey peers, am having my ccna exam on 30…. i hav read TODD LAMMLE 3 times ,solved dumps 2 times, also have a good hand over nat ,eigrp and acl configuration questions. Do i need to prepare more ??? if yes ,from where???
@theodore
You don’t need any dumps from anywhere. I can guarantee you 40 out of the 50 question would come from this site. So if you’ve studied enough it does not matter how they change the ip addresses or tweak the questions, you should make it.
@ sana
i checked at cisco’s site
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_1/wan/command/reference/wrdfrely.html#wp1022344
for frame relay commands they showed that the command should be
“show frame-relay map”
I passed my exam friday Thanks 9tut!!!
good dumps are here:
http://www.multiupload.nl/3DL4TBN1BO
Passed the Exam today.. 933/1000
Sekhar dumps still valid..
just encountered 3 new questions (cant remember) but all the others are still on the dumps..
laboratories are still the same, VTP, ACL2 and EIGRP.. the details like IPs and AS are the only things that are changed..
on VTP, got questions 1,2,4,6 and 8..
on EIGRP, AS is 112..
on ACL2, got the one below..
—————————————————————————————————————
- 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 *
I ans:
- access-list 100 permit tcp host (IP of Host C) host(IP of Finance web server) eq 80
- access-list 100 deny ip any host (IP of Finance web server)
- access-list 100 permit ip any any
- interface fa0/1
- ip access-group 100 out
- copy running-config startup-config
—————————————————————————————————————
1st of all, thanks to our creator, God..
to Rivan IT, MNET IT and 9tut!!..
First Thanks to Almighty ALLAH.
I passed CCNA exam today with 947/1000.
I used Brar and Sekhar dumps and 9tut.
Total 50 questions.
98% question came from Brar dump. 90% matches with Sekhar dump. 1 New question.
3 SIMs
——–
1. VTP
Questions 1,2,3,4 and 7
-MAC address and Root bridge was different
-Use “show mac address-table” because “show mac-address-table” didn’t work for me.
2. EIGRP
-AS number was 122
-Router name was change and also ip address
-In my case R1 was named with “HUB” and R3 was “SERVER”
-You need to Correct AS number on newly added router(SERVER) and add network path with command “network (ip address)” and do “no auto-summary”
-Add network “network (ip address)” on HUB router and use “no auto-summary”
-Ping between Routers and use “copy running-config startup-config” on both HUB and SERVER router.
3. ACL2
- 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
I ans:
- access-list 100 permit tcp host (IP of Host B) host(IP of Finance web server) eq 80
- access-list 100 deny ip any host (IP of Finance web server)
- access-list 100 permit ip any any
- interface fa0/1
- ip access-group 100 out
- copy running-config startup-config
NOTE: In the question use must see “The Core connection uses an IP address of 198.18.196.65 (ip may be diffrent)”
But when you see the running configuration of the Router you might see DIFFERENT IP address (may be 192.18.19.65 255.255.255.252) assigned on the serial interface connected to “The Core connection”.
You need to change the ip address. First find the serial interface number from running configuration of the Router and reassign correct IP address.
Suppose Core connection attach with “Serial1/0″ then command will be
Router(config)#interface serial 1/0
Router(config-if)#no ip address
Router(config-if)#ip address 198.18.196.65 255.255.255.252
Router(config-if)#no shutdown
Finally test the Acl from different hosts and do “copy running-config startup-config”.
-Actually I don’t know that this is needed but I got 100% in this SIM by doing this. Without this you may loose points. Be careful.
Another Note:
—————–
-I hope this will help who are afraid about question “Implement, verify and troubleshoot NAT and Acls in a medium -size Enterprise branch office network”.
-This is ACL2. So don’t be worried.
-You never see this question in your exam. Only see this when you end your exam and got your marks with descriptions. So relax!!!
***** FINALLY, EXAM IS REALLY VERY EASY LIKE YOU CLICK ON YOUR DUMPS QUESTIONS. ****

I gave my exam on monday, Scored 973. Would hav scored full but there was a bug in this sim. i got the 9th question…. but it was not showing any Default getway :-(
I passed the ICND2 exam with 986 marks. Thanks 9tut.com
Hi, I know rapid-pvst has a new post state instead of blocked. I am running rapid-pvst on all switches on packet tracer, I realized when the switches converged, the non-root bridges have their post either in the BLOCK or FORWARDING state…….why is it so? I thought there is nothing like block port in 802.1w
@Arif ,
congratulations for passing CCNA and sharing the knoweldge .
It will surely help.
Somebody knows how to change .vce files to pdf.
Hi i take my Exam on the 31st of October. Can anybody please put me through the dumps i should expext on the exam day? Thanks. Excited
I have a question about this one.
Which switch is the root bridge for VLAN 1????
What do we do if the root bridge is not directly connected to the SW3??
I can do a show spanning tree command, and then do a show cdp neighbors!! but if the route bridge is not directly connected it wont show in sh cdp neighbors,, so then how do we find it out????
Can someone please help?
@Arif
You mentioned that you have to get the drag drops in correct order, or you will loose marks. How do you work out what the correct order is, E.g. like on the question about Difference between Rip and OSPF how do we know what correct order is?
can anyone help me with lastest dump pls
pls house help me wit lastestb dump nath_neal@yahoo.com
yesterday i pass exam with 960 marks thanks to god..
i refer todd lamle to clear the concept & then 9tut & sekhar dumps
exam was easy
i got 3 sims vtp with 5 questions same in this site only topology & ip address is littile bit change
acl 2 with same question as explain by arif
eigrp with one router different auto. no & one router with wrong ip address…
also i got 4 drag & drop questions
sekhar dumps are still valid i got only 3 to 4 questions different
@DanDanM
If a root bridge is not directly connected you cannot find out. You answered on your question, as CDP works only with directly connected Cisco devices.
please help :(
need latest version of visualcertexam :( can’t open brar and sekhar dumps
send me some please. thank you very much
nikkodumapit@gmail.com
good day
passed today . all questions are similar to questions on this website . very helpful
Here you find the latest version of P4S cracked. If you study this site and you practice with these questions you pass 100%
http://depositfiles.com/files/vmtg6zpri
guys please tell me…what marks-weightage does the SIMs carry in the exam.
@DanDanM
Actually I loose points when practice dumps but I think that you don’t need to arrange in correct order when there are multiple answer for one question like Difference between RIP and OSPF.
@sanket
Congrats….
I will write my CCNA soon please send me tips how to pass the exam
I’ll give CCNA exam in first week of November..
please contact me who recently passed CCNA exam or planning to give CCNA exam…
please tell me which dump is good and sims…
er.anita.annu@gmail.com
I fail ccna with 696 ,just when I have to do access-list and natting if anyone can help me with exam dump send them to ramabolu@hotmail.com
From india
i wrote CCNA on 21st oct and passed with 970. i got the same question on the exam.
i prepared for the exam by learning simulations from ’9tut’ website and dumps from ‘exam collections’ website.
http://www.examcollection.com/640-802.html
The exam wasn’t that much tough most of the questions i got from the dumps only.
i got the simulation
1) for correcting eigrp configuration between two routers (corrected it by changing the AS no to same no and by advertising the network which is directly connected with other router ). It was the simulation i practiced with 9tut website
http://www.9tut.com/64-ccna-eigrp-lab-question#more-29
2) Second simulation was based on ACL . it was also from 9tut
http://www.9tut.com/78-ccna-access-list-sim-2#more-41
Thanks 9tut and examcollection for helping me to pass the exam :)
Hey I was hoping to get dumps as I am preparing to take my CCNA exams at the end of this year. Can anyone please help me?
jesse.mihayo@yahoo.com
Thank you!
@ramabolu, what sims did u do? sorry about the score… so sorry
i just passed my ccna today… with 920/1000
sims were acl 2, eigrp and vtp.. all r same as here
and my dumbs were jericho …strongly helped me
just last 2 weeks only i studied 9tut and sekher dumbs.
exam was soooooo easy actually i did it in a 40 mins
in the mcq section i faced nearly 15 switching que.. 5 routing.. 5 ip addressing.. 2 wireless.. 3 wan… 4 drag and drops and some others i cnt remember
in examcollection.com webpage has more valid dumbs go with these notes and study hard you will get sure pass and everyone who want to do ccna in future- all the very best it is the best and nice career certification
oh wait… ccnp? yeah i m coming
my email is fridahhhkim@gmail.com
@ sana …would you send me the latests dumps you used and a torrent link to virtual certexam (the real one i managed to get the trial copy but its not working..
