[All 200-301 Questions]


Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator assumes a task to complete the 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

but ALL VLANs are allowed by default in trunks. It would not be needed to add the VLAN 13 in Switch B.

CAN ANY GOOD SIR OR MADAM EXPLAIN HOW THE PC AND FILE SERVER IS ON THE SAME SUBNET?

subnet mask is /23 so focus on the third octet x.x.0.x/23 x.x.1.x/23 Convert to binary 192.168.0000000||0.x 192.168.0000000||1.x The part before ||(/23) is all zero so the network ID for both subnets is 192.168.0.0/23 (same), hence they belong in same subnet

PC and Server are not in the same IP subnet. the answer should be C. A router is required for inter-VLAN route

B is correct because it's in the same subnet and the Native vlans send untagged frames to others

The interfaces between switch A and B are set to trunk mode but the VLAN in which the devices are tagged to is not allowed on the trunk. The given answer "B" is correct, simply allow the VLAN ID (VLAN 13) for them to communicate.

switch A interface g0/4 - connected to PC is access mode with vlan13 switch B interlace g0/3 - connected to server is access mode with vlan13 --- The interfaces between switch A and B are set to trunk mode. So, only thing is missing is adding vlan 13 to the trunk link in order for PC and server to communicate. ----- A. wrong as switches can't do intervlan routing (vlan10 - vlan11) B. wrong it's not required as both PC and server are in same vlan (router on a stick is for intervlan routing) D. switches don't do intervlan routing

The answer is apparently B, but should be: Switch A: switchport mode trunk allowed 10-13 Switch B: switchport mode trunk allowed vlan 10-13 Based off switch B's configs no trunks have been allowed, furthermore anytime you are configuring trunks (on router or switch), you must include native vlan as allowed and it must be identified so that non-tagged traffic is allowed. This question was written by an amateur.

The question asks only to ensure communication between the PC and the Server, and just by adding the vlan 13 to the trunk links of both switches will do it. I tested this in packet tracer.

Answer "C" is the correct one. the hosts are in different subnets [layer3]. hence, a router [layer3] device is required to cater for inter-vlan routing

They are not on different subnets. Subnet 192.168.0.0 /23 has 2^9 = 512 hosts, which spans an IP range of 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.1.255. Addresses 192.168.0.10 and 192.168.1.20 are on the same range and their respective interfaces are on the same VLAN. The only problem here is that the trunk link on Switch A doesn't allow VLAN 13, so "B" is correct.

here both devices are in the same vlan also same vlan can be in different subnets. the problem here is with allowed vlans, either add vlan 13 or remove the limit
