350-501 Networking Practice Question

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

• ✓

  Step 1: Create VLAN, Step 2: Name VLAN, Step 3: Assign ports to VLAN

  Why this is correct

  This is the correct order because you must first create the VLAN with the 'vlan' command, then optionally name it, and finally assign interfaces to it using 'switchport access vlan'.

• ✗

  Step 1: Assign ports to VLAN, Step 2: Create VLAN, Step 3: Name VLAN

  Why it's wrong here

  This is incorrect because you cannot assign ports to a VLAN that has not been created yet. The VLAN must exist before ports can be assigned.

• ✗

  Step 1: Name VLAN, Step 2: Create VLAN, Step 3: Assign ports to VLAN

  Why it's wrong here

  This is incorrect because you cannot name a VLAN before it is created. The VLAN must be created first using the 'vlan' command.

• ✗

  Step 1: Create VLAN, Step 2: Assign ports to VLAN, Step 3: Name VLAN

  Why it's wrong here

  This is incorrect because while the VLAN is created first, naming it after port assignment is poor practice and can lead to confusion. Typically, you name the VLAN after creation but before assigning ports for clarity.
