Option-by-option breakdown

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

• ✓

  1. Enter global configuration mode, 2. Create the VLAN using the 'vlan' command, 3. Assign switch ports to the VLAN using 'switchport access vlan', 4. Exit and verify with 'show vlan brief'.

  Why this is correct

  This is the correct order because the VLAN must exist before ports can be assigned. The standard workflow is to enter global config, create the VLAN, assign ports, and then verify.

• ✗

  1. Enter global configuration mode, 2. Assign switch ports to the VLAN using 'switchport access vlan', 3. Create the VLAN using the 'vlan' command, 4. Exit and verify.

  Why it's wrong here

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

• ✗

  1. Enter global configuration mode, 2. Create the VLAN using the 'vlan' command, 3. Exit and verify, 4. Assign switch ports to the VLAN.

  Why it's wrong here

  This is incorrect because you must assign ports to the VLAN before exiting configuration mode; otherwise, the port assignment step is missed and the VLAN will have no ports.

• ✗

  1. Create the VLAN using the 'vlan' command, 2. Enter global configuration mode, 3. Assign switch ports to the VLAN, 4. Exit and verify.

  Why it's wrong here

  This is incorrect because the 'vlan' command can only be issued in global configuration mode. You must enter global configuration mode before creating the VLAN.
