VLANs and Trunking

A network engineer is troubleshooting a connectivity issue between two switches, SW1 and SW2, connected via a trunk link. SW1 is a Cisco Catalyst 3850 running IOS-XE, and SW2 is a Cisco Catalyst 2960 running IOS. The trunk is configured as a dynamic desirable mode on SW1 and dynamic auto on SW2. The engineer notices that the trunk is not forming. What is the most likely cause?

An engineer is configuring a new access switch for a branch office. The switch must support multiple VLANs for different departments: VLAN 10 (Engineering), VLAN 20 (Sales), and VLAN 30 (Management). The uplink to the distribution switch is a trunk. The engineer wants to ensure that only the required VLANs are allowed on the trunk and that the native VLAN is changed from the default to VLAN 99 for security reasons. Which configuration commands should the engineer apply on the access switch's uplink interface?

A network engineer is deploying a new server farm with multiple servers connected to a Cisco Nexus 9000 switch. Each server is dual-homed to two separate access switches for redundancy. The servers are configured with NIC teaming in active-standby mode. The engineer wants to ensure that if the active link fails, traffic continues without interruption. The access switches are connected to each other via a trunk. Which technology should the engineer implement on the access switches to prevent loops and allow both uplinks to be active?

An engineer is troubleshooting a problem where a host in VLAN 20 cannot communicate with a host in VLAN 30, even though both are connected to the same access switch. The access switch is configured with VLANs 20 and 30, and the uplink to the distribution switch is a trunk that allows both VLANs. The distribution switch has SVIs for both VLANs and IP routing is enabled. The engineer verifies that the trunk is up and both VLANs are allowed. What is the most likely cause of the communication failure?

A network engineer is configuring a new Cisco Catalyst 9300 switch to connect to an existing network. The uplink to the core switch is configured as a trunk. The engineer wants to ensure that all VLANs except VLAN 1 are allowed on the trunk, and that the native VLAN is set to VLAN 999. Which configuration should the engineer apply on the uplink interface?

An engineer is troubleshooting a connectivity issue between two switches, SW1 and SW2, connected via a trunk. The trunk is configured with switchport mode trunk on both sides. The engineer notices that some VLANs are not passing traffic, even though they are in the allowed list. The output of 'show interfaces trunk' on SW1 shows that VLANs 10, 20, and 30 are in the allowed list and are active. However, hosts in VLAN 30 cannot reach the distribution switch. What is the most likely cause?

A network engineer is configuring a new Cisco Catalyst switch to connect to an existing network. The uplink to the distribution switch is configured as a trunk. The engineer wants to ensure that the trunk uses 802.1Q encapsulation and that the native VLAN is set to VLAN 100. The distribution switch is a Cisco Catalyst 3850. Which configuration should the engineer apply on the uplink interface?

An engineer is troubleshooting a problem where a trunk link between two Cisco switches is not passing traffic for VLAN 10, but other VLANs are working. The trunk is configured with switchport mode trunk on both sides. The engineer checks the allowed VLAN list and sees VLAN 10 is included. The native VLAN is set to 1 on both sides. What is the most likely cause?

A network engineer is configuring a new Cisco Nexus 9000 switch to connect to an existing Cisco Catalyst 3850 switch. The link between them should be a trunk carrying VLANs 10, 20, and 30. The engineer configures the Nexus switch with 'switchport mode trunk' and 'switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20,30'. However, the trunk does not come up. The Catalyst switch is configured with 'switchport mode trunk' and 'switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20,30'. What is the most likely cause?
