CCNA VTP SIM Question

February 21st, 2014 Go to comments

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.

ccna_vtp_sim_question

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:

ccna_vtp_sim_answer_1

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:

ccna_vtp_sim_answer_2

(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:

ccna_vtp_sim_answer_3_2

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

ccna_vtp_sim_answer_4

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:

ccna_vtp_sim_answer_4_2

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

ccna_vtp_sim_answer_4_show_vlan

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

ccna_vtp_sim_answer_4_part_exhibit

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

ccna_vtp_sim_answer_4_show_vtp_status

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:

ccna_vtp_sim_answer_4_show_cdp_neighbors_detail

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?

ccna_vtp_sim_answer_7_new_switch

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

ccna_vtp_sim_answer_7_new_switch_answer_2

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”.

ccna_vtp_sim_answer_7_new_switch_answer_1

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

ccna_vtp_sim_answer_7_new_switch_answer_3

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

ccna_vtp_sim_answer_8_1

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

ccna_vtp_sim_answer_8_2

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

ccna_vtp_sim_answer_8_3

-> 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

ccna_vtp_sim_answer_9_1

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

ccna_vtp_sim_answer_9_2

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

ccna_vtp_sim_answer_9_3

(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

    Q7 >>
    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).

    how ?! I didn’t understand that !! Client replaces its data base to the server !!
    all i know about client that it can operate any updates come from server or transparent with higher revision number .. but i got confused from this note !

    @Fathy

    It doent matter client or server mode, revision number is a key, remember it. The highest rev number will overwrite lower in same domain. That’s it.
    All the best,
    Mike

    November 11th, 2012

    @hopeful

    if it’s between ISP and router 1 then no change but if there is passive interface between router 1 and any other router then for that interface it will be no passive interface

    Hello guys,

    Do somebody have idea what does it mean the note:

    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.

    Please somebody to explain me, because it is too important don’t make some mistake on this simulation.If I wrong first step, I will points for the rest 4 questions.

    Having issues with the VTP sim using PT 5.3.2. The connection between Sw-DS1 and Sw-AC1 using port fa 0/9 is not connected. I tried the command no shutdown already but still when I use show int fa 0/9, it will show that the port seemed to be disabled. Bothersome and can’t practice. :(

    November 12th, 2012

    Thanks 9tut and Brar,
    Passed with 933/1000. I think 3 questions were wrong. One of them is at VTP Sim—

    Q: What kind of device is Router which is connected with Sw3?
    A: I typed show cdp neighbor and it was 2600 but with show cdp neighor detail, it showed 2611XM or something like that. There was no 2611XM. So, I choose the answer 2611.

    But I don’t know which one is true. May be you can face with that kind of problem. Take it as example. Thank you all. :D

    VTP SIM was in my exam today with only 5 questions.

  25. ohaysama5
    November 14th, 2012

    Hi Network Addicts,
    I got my CCNA today, I got more than 90% points :)
    ********************************************************
    Talking about my today’s exam:
    I had the three most known simulations which are: EIGRP, VTP, and ACL2.
    * EIGRP SIM had 122 as a AS in few routers, and 12 in one so i followed steps as dictated in this site, i found a passive-interface between ISP and Router “1″ so i leave it, i also delete one network that was advertised by router “1″ and which wasn’t lied/configured in any physical interface, so i guess that allows me to get 100% in this section. (15min)
    * Locate VTP SIM in this site it was the same with only 5 questions.
    * IMPORTANT:————————————-
    ACL2 I took all my time there, I spent more than 25min, I was very sure in each step BUT at last i get 40% which i was expecting unfortunately !!
    the exhibit was exactly as 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
    The Finance Web Server and Public Web Server had different IP Addresses.
    The Task was the same as on top
    My unsuccessful response -because at the end i wasn’t able to access Finance Web Server via Web from Host C- was:

    Corp1#conf t
    Corp1(config)#access-list 102 permit tcp host 192.168.33.3 host 172.22.242.23 eq 80
    Corp1(config)#access-list 102 deny ip any host 172.22.242.23
    Corp1(config)#access-list 102 permit ip any any
    Corp1(config)#interface fa0/1
    Corp1(config-if)#ip access-group 102 out
    Corp1#copy run start

    I check everything more than once but i didn’t succeed to figure out !!
    What i could say is that i noticed each time i tried to access Finance Web Server from Host C, i got a message over the Router interface which i can’t remember exactly sorry but it was smth like that “…… domain server (255.255.255.255) ……”
    So, now after a bit search over internet i guess i ought to use “NO IP DOMAIN-LOOKUP” which prevents router from looking for DNS resolution !!!
    with all my consideration, It will be helpful for future candidates if somebody can confirm or correct me
    ———————————————————–
    All MCQs was familiar, if you have no doubt in concepts and you give sufficient time and concentration to all of 9tut sections, question became obvious and you figured out instantly the correct answer !!

    Hi guys,
    I wrote my CCNA exams today and i passed. i was unnecessarily scared as i had postponed the exams over 4 times in d last month. SIMS were EIGRP, ACL and VTP. the questions were basically the same, just a little alterations in IP addresses (as expected tho). And yeah… the EIGRP was a lil tricky as the two networks in the MAIN router were not in the CAMPUS router.
    My advice tho: if you are gonna memorize the options in the concept, memorize the entire answers not just the alphabets (a) (b) becos the options were re-arranged.
    further enquiries?? papilon866@yahoo.com.
    Great job from you lot….. cheers!!!

    November 17th, 2012

    alhamdullilah i m ccna certified scoring 986 in todays exam and very thankful to 9tut and SEKHARS & others and dont be scared like me as i m very confused by reading some comments and i got all three famouse sims
    1.vtp
    2.eigrp
    3.acl
    and vtp question is confusing but by the grace of almighty i tackled this question too..
    and in eigrp as number is 23 on all router except the newly added router ,and i see the passive interface b/w the central 1 router and isp so i leave it and static route b/w central 1 to isp is also there and ip default network too…
    but the response of the show running config on all the router is very bad or u say slow that i dont see all advertsied networks on first time so have to use show run config again and again and there is also a route which is not used in complete so i delete that network
    and atlast i ping all routers with each other but i cant ping isp router successfully from any of the four routers but still got 100% in this eigrp lab
    and 3rd scenario is acl which is from the 9tut sim and i also got full marks in this sim too by the thankz of almighty ALLAH..
    And gud luck to all whos oppting for the exammm

    took my tst this morning so got up early to go over the labs at this site and guess what? as soon as I got on it went down so I could go over the lab at all before my test. I failed and im sure I didnt get the labs right. THE MORAL OF THIS STORY IS DONT RELY ON THE INTERNET TO HELP YOU STUDY!! lol Im sure my bad luck was to blame on the 9tut outage!
    all the labs were exactly the same and oher than that there were lots of questions I didnt see on any dumps or web sites Labs were at the front and middle so got hurried at the end but should have taken my time because it was all multiple choice.
