200-901 Practice Question: An engineer wants to verify that a switch port is…
An engineer wants to verify that a switch port is configured as an access port in VLAN 10. Which command provides this information?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between commands that show operational status (like `show interfaces status`) versus those that show configuration (like `show running-config interface`), leading candidates to pick a command that only shows interface state rather than the actual VLAN assignment and port mode.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
show running-config interface
The `show running-config interface` command displays the current operational configuration of a specific interface, including whether it is configured as an access port and which VLAN it is assigned to. For a switch port in VLAN 10, the output will show `switchport mode access` and `switchport access vlan 10`, directly confirming the desired configuration.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
show running-config interface
Why this is correct
This displays the running configuration of the interface, including switchport settings.
- ✗
show interfaces status
Why it's wrong here
This shows operational status, not configuration details like VLAN assignment.
- ✗
show ip interface brief
Why it's wrong here
This shows IP address and status, not Layer 2 configuration.
- ✗
show vlan brief
Why it's wrong here
This shows VLANs and their ports, but not the specific configuration details of an interface.
