Question Image

Refer to the exhibit. A new VLAN and switch are being added to the network. A remote engineer configures OldSwitch and must make sure the configuration meets these requirements:

  • accommodates the VLANs currently configured
  • extends the range to include VLAN 20
  • permits IEEE standard support for virtual LANs

Which configuration on the NewSwitch side of the link satisfies these requirements?

  • A switch port mode dynamicchannel group 1 mode activeswitchport trunk allowed vlan 5,10,15, 20
  • B no switchport mode trunkswitchport trunk encapsulation islswitchport mode access vlan 20
  • C switchport nonegotiateno switchport trunk allowed vlan 5,10switchport trunk allowed vlan 5,10,15,20
  • D no switchport trunk encapsulation islswitchport trunk encapsulation dot1qswitchport trunk allowed vlan add 20
Explanation

To meet the requirements, the inter-switch link must remain a trunk, continue carrying the existing VLANs, add VLAN 20, and use IEEE 802.1Q rather than Cisco ISL because 802.1Q is the IEEE standard trunking method. The switchport trunk allowed vlan add 20 command extends the existing allowed VLAN list without removing the VLANs already permitted, and switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q selects the IEEE-standard encapsulation. That is why the configuration in choice D is correct. Cisco documentation identifies ISL and IEEE 802.1Q as the two trunk encapsulations and shows that 802.1Q is the IEEE standard, and Cisco command references document switchport trunk allowed vlan add ... for adding VLANs to an existing trunk allowed list.
