Question 610
An operations ticket for Willowbrook Transit has two requirements: (1) manage a switch when its production network is unreachable, and (2) avoid a user access port automatically forming an unintended trunk. Which proposed plan satisfies both outcomes?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Both outcomes are covered: (1) A console provides local management access independent of in-band IP reachability. (2) Access mode prevents the interface from carrying multiple data VLANs as a negotiated trunk. Neither action is a substitute for the other.
Incorrect Answers
The second step covers (2), but the first addresses centrally authenticate network device administrators and separately account for command authorization. TACACS+ supports granular device administration authorization and accounting through AAA. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.
Neither step is the requested pair: Set the opposite peer to LACP active is for form an LACP channel where one side is passive, and Enable Root Guard on the intended designated port is for prevent a downstream switch from claiming the root role over an uplink. Passive/ passive cannot initiate an LACP exchange, while an active side can negotiate with passive. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.
The first step covers (1), but the second addresses advertise basic device identity to a multivendor adjacent device. LLDP is a vendor-neutral Layer 2 discovery protocol that advertises neighbor identity and capabilities. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.
