How does Inter-Switch Link (ISL) identify a VLAN? |
It encapsulates a frame with the VLAN information |

The ASIC |

A frame that was already at max size before 802.1q added frame tagging to it |
|
What 2 devices can route traffic between VLANs? |
Routers and L3 switches |
|
What capability does a router require before it can act as a router on a stick? |
Support for ISL or 802.1q |
|
If a router does not support ISL or 802.1q, how can it route between VLANs? |
Each VLAN will require its own interface, just like if they were separate subnets |
|
What is Inter-VLAN Routing (IVR)? |
Using an L3 switch to emulate a router on a stick |
|
What is a Switched Virtual Interface (SVI)? |
A virtual switch interface that mimics a router interface for the purpose of routing VLAN data |
|
Which is more efficient, IVR or router on a stick? |
IVR |
|
What 3 protocols were designed to allow VLANs created on one switch to propagate to other switches? |
VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP), GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (VGRP), and Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol (MVRP) |
|
What does VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) do? |
Allows VLANs created on one switch to propagate to other switches in the switch fabric |
|
What ate the 3 different VTP modes a switch can be in? |
Server, client, and transparent |
|
What is the default VTP mode? |
Server |
|
What is the VTP server mode? |
Mode where information about VLANs is allowed to propagate between switches, and VLANs may be created/modified/deleted |
|
What is the VTP client mode? |
The switch receives information about VLANs from other switches and will send updates to other switch partners, but can't create/modify/delete VLANs themselves |
|
What is the VTP transparent mode? |
A switch will receive VTP advertisements and pass them on to other switches, but do not update their own VLAN databases, and may create/modify/delete local VLANs |
|
How are switches using Virtual Trunking Protocol (VTP) organized? |
Into management domains |
|
How many management domains may a switch belong to? |
One |
|
What will switches do with VTP advertisements from foreign management domains? |
Ignore them |
|
What are used to share VTP information between switches? |
VTP advertisements |
|
How are VTP advertisements addressed? |
As multicast transmissions |
|
What is used to identify whether a VTP advertisement should be integrated into a switch's VLAN database or not? |
The VTP configuration revision number |
|
What are the 3 types of VTP messages? |
Summary advertisements, subset advertisements, and advertisement requests |
|
What does a VTP Summary Advertisement contain? |
A switch's VTP domain name and configuration revision number |
|
How often does a switch send a VTP Summary Advertisement? |
Every 5 minutes |
|
What does a switch do when it receives a VTP Summary Advertisement? |
Checks that the VTP domain matches and if the configuration revision number is higher than its own, and sends Advertisement Request if so |
|
What is a VTP Advertisement Request? |
A request for a Summary Advertisement and Subset Advertisements |
|
Under what 3 conditions would a switch send a VTP Advertisement Request? |
When the switch was reset, its VTP domain name changed, or it received a Summary Advertisement with a higher revision number |
|
What does a switch do when it receives a VTP Advertisement Request? |
Sends the requestor a Summary Advertisement, followed by 1 or more Subset Advertisements |
|
What is a VTP Subset Advertisement? |
A VTP advertisement with information about changes to a VLAN |
|
