Chapter 13 Lab Solutions
There are only two labs in this chapter; however they are both time consuming. Lab 13.1
only requires a pencil but involves a lot of thought and possibly some research. Lab 13.2
involves router, switch, and PC configuration and can take up to 90 minutes. I typically
use this as a final team project or exam because the students are not given much
direction in the configuration. They have to know them or look them up. Make sure the
router and switch you are using in Lab 13.2 both support 802.1Q.
Activity Questions Lab 13.1
Description
Matching Term
An amount of time that should be slightly longer
than the time it takes to transmit a 64-byte frame
on an Ethernet wire
Slot time
Data Link layer protocol defined by IEEE
specification 802.1d
STP
The total network bandwidth dedicated to each
unicast transmission, even if multiple unicast
transmissions are occurring at the same time
Switched bandwidth
A logical broadcast domain on the LAN created by
one or more switches
VLAN
A layer 2 messaging protocol that manages all the
changes to the VLANs across networks
VTP
Entire transmitted frame is read into the switch’s
buffer before being forwarded by the switch
Store-and-forward
Default setting for 10BaseT switch ports
Half
An evolution of STP defined by IEEE 802.1w that
allows for more rapid convergence
RSTP
A situation in which all devices are in contention for
the total bandwidth of the network
Shared bandwidth
Increasing the number of collision domains without
increasing the number of subnets
Microsegmentation
The lag or delay that a device or part of the
network media causes
Latency
Alternate one-way communications
Half-duplex
A switching method in which a Frame is forwarded
immediately after the destination address is read
Cut-through
Fast Ethernet implementation that uses four pairs
of either Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cable
100BaseT4
A topology in which an Ethernet station must first
listen before transmitting on the network. Any
station can transmit as long as there are no
CSMA/CD

Activity Questions Lab 13.2
3. Answer varies but if the version is earlier than 12.3, the IP address on f0/0 will
be configured slightly differently
Review Questions Lab 13.2
1. A switch is LAN equipment. Why then is a router necessary for computers on VLANs
to communicate?
2. What is the purpose of the switchport port-security mac-address sticky
command?
3. What is the basis for the term “router–on-a-stick”?
4. How are subinterfaces used in the “router-on-a-stick” configuration?
5. What is the difference between a trunk port and an access port?
