Question 210
A floor switch connects APs but the uplink passes only the native VLAN while employee and voice SSIDs use tagged VLANs. Which failure mechanism best explains the observed behavior?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The symptoms fit this mechanism. A targeted response is to permit the required SSID VLAN IDs on the trunk and match native VLAN expectations on each side, followed by verification that tagged client frames pass the uplink on their intended VLANs without native-VLAN leakage.
Incorrect Answers
That explanation fits a different case, such as when an LACP bundle has four member links, but only two forward because the partner uses a different aggregation key. The symptoms here are better explained by the trunk's allowed-VLAN list excludes the tagged client networks.
That explanation fits a different case, such as when an access stack stops powering some APs after a larger radio model is deployed on the same ports. The symptoms here are better explained by the trunk's allowed-VLAN list excludes the tagged client networks.
That explanation fits a different case, such as when a central services VLAN is on the approved trunk but a new access port uses a mismatched untagged VLAN. The symptoms here are better explained by the trunk's allowed-VLAN list excludes the tagged client networks.
