Chapter 8 – Subnets and VLANs
1. Network segmentation decreases both performance and security on a network.
2. Only Class B and Class C networks can be subnetted.
3. By default, the native VLAN is the same as the default VLAN.
4. A native VLAN mismatch occurs when two access ports that are connected to each other are both tagging
traffic with different VLAN IDs.
Chapter 8 – Subnets and VLANs
5. All that is needed to provide communication between two VLANs is a DHCP relay agent.
6. Network segmentation at Layer 2 of the OSI model is accomplished using VLANs.
7. A /24 CIDR block is equivalent to a 255.255.255.0 subnet mask.
Chapter 8 – Subnets and VLANs
8. IPv6 addressing does not utilize classful addressing, therefore every IPv6 address is classless.
9. An unmanaged switch can still support the creation of VLANs, provided there is an interface for
configuration.
10. In order to identify the transmissions that belong to each VLAN, a switch will add a tag to Ethernet frames
that identifies the port through which they arrive at the switch.
Chapter 8 – Subnets and VLANs
11. A network with a CIDR notation of /26 would have what subnet mask?
12. A network with 10 bits remaining for the host portion will have how many usable host addresses?
13. An interface that manages traffic from multiple VLANs is known by what term?
Chapter 8 – Subnets and VLANs
14. Which of the following suggestions can help prevent VLAN hopping attacks on a network?
Install an additional switch to isolate traffic.
Disable auto trunking and move native VLANs to unused VLANs.
Install a router to process the untagged traffic on the VLAN.
Use MAC address filtering.
15. With VTP, where is the VLAN database stored?
On the router responsible for maintaining the VTP database.
On the switch that is known as the stack master.
On the switch that is configured as the trunk root.
On the designated VLAN server for the network.
16. What IEEE standard specifies how VLAN information appears in frames and how switches interpret that
Chapter 8 – Subnets and VLANs
17. In an IPv6 address, what do the first four blocks or 64 bits of the address represent?
The usable host portion of the network.
The site prefix or global routing prefix.
The broadcast domain for the configured host ID.
The MAC address of the router assigning the host ID.
18. On certain Cisco products, what command can be used to create and send helper messages that support
several types of UDP traffic, including DHCP, TFTP, DNS, and TACACS+?
Chapter 8 – Subnets and VLANs
19. When an 802.1Q tag is added to an Ethernet frame, where is it placed?
It is inserted between the preamble and the destination address.
It is inserted between the destination and the source addresses.
It is inserted between the source address and the Ethernet type field.
It is appended to the end of the frame.
20. How large is the 802.1Q tag that is added to an Ethernet frame when using VLANs?
21. On a Cisco switch, what would the security association identifier be for VLAN 13?
Chapter 8 – Subnets and VLANs
22. What command will set the native VLAN on a Juniper switch port?
switchport trunk native vlan
switchport set native vlan
23. You are working on a Cisco switch and need to learn what VLANs exist on the switch. Which command
will list the current VLANs recognized by the switch?
24. Given a host IP address of 172.16.1.154 and a subnet mask of 255.255.254.0, what is the network ID for this
host?

connects to a switch that supports multiple VLANs?

30. What does the VLAN Trunk Protocol (VTP) do?
It shares trunking information amongst switches that participate.
It shares VLAN database information amongst switches that participate.
It is the protocol used by a trunk port for establishing a trunk with another switch.
It is the protocol that defines how VLAN tagging is accomplished in an Ethernet network.
31. Which of the following statements regarding IPv6 subnetting is NOT accurate?
