QuestionQ167

Network Access

Two switches are connected and are using Cisco Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP). SW1 is configured for Dynamic Auto, and SW2 is configured for Dynamic Desirable. What is the outcome of this configuration?

  • A The link becomes an access port.
  • B The link is in an error disabled state.
  • C The link is in a down state.
  • D The link becomes a trunk port.
Explanation

With Cisco DTP, dynamic desirable actively negotiates trunking and dynamic auto passively agrees to trunk if the neighbor requests it. Because SW2 is set to Dynamic Desirable and SW1 is set to Dynamic Auto, DTP negotiation succeeds and the link operates as a trunk.
