Cisco Switchport Modes Quiz

Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) is a standard protocol supported by all network switches.

DTP helps in automatically making a link a trunk link between two switches.

Switchport mode trunk is a configuration that allows the port to be an access port.

By default, DTP negotiation process turns all links into trunk links.

Switchport mode dynamic desirable continuously attempts to become a trunk port using DTP.

Switchport mode dynamic auto will not attempt to form a trunk if it receives a DTP trunk request from the connected device.

If a switch does not support DTP, the link will automatically become an access link.

The mode dynamic desirable is the default mode on some IOS versions, making the link trunk automatically when another switch is connected.

Switchport mode dynamic means the port will negotiate whether it should be an access or trunk port.

Using 'switchport nonegotiate' prevents the interface from generating DTP frames when the switchport mode is dynamic auto.

Configuring a port as switchport mode access means it can dynamically change its mode based on DTP negotiation.

'switchport nonegotiate' should be used when you want the link to be a non-trunking link.

If trunk links are not available, each VLAN traffic would require a dedicated link for transmission. True or False?

The packet identifier(ID) added within the header of packets holds information about the VLAN membership of each packet. True or False?

In VLAN trunking, packets are forwarded between switches based on the VLAN identifier and IP address. True or False?

IEEE 802.1Q is a proprietary protocol developed by Cisco for VLAN trunking. True or False?

On some old Cisco switches, only ISL protocol is supported for VLAN trunking. True or False?

An access port in Cisco switches can belong to multiple VLANs. True or False?
