Network Access

Question Image

Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator is assigned a task to complete connectivity between PC A and the File Server. Switch A and Switch B have been partially configured with VLANs 10, 11, 12, and 13. What is the next step in the configuration?

  • A Add PC A to VLAN 10 and the File Server to VLAN 11 for VLAN segmentation
  • B Add VLAN 13 to the trunk links on Switch A and Switch B for VLAN propagation
  • C Add a router on a stick between Switch A and Switch B allowing for Inter-VLAN routing
  • D Add PC A to the same subnet as the File Server allowing for intra-VLAN communication
Explanation

PC A and the File Server are both connected to access ports assigned to VLAN 13, and their addresses are in the same 192.168.0.0/23 network, so they do not need inter-VLAN routing. For same-VLAN traffic to pass between switches, the VLAN must be allowed on the trunk. Because Switch A’s trunk is configured with switchport trunk allowed vlan 10-12, VLAN 13 is excluded and cannot traverse the link. The required step is to permit VLAN 13 on the trunk between the switches.
