Question 810
A floor switch connects APs but the uplink passes only the native VLAN while employee and voice SSIDs use tagged VLANs. Which first diagnostic check is most useful before changing the network?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This check collects evidence at the layer implicated by the symptom: the trunk's allowed-VLAN list excludes the tagged client networks. Examine the evidence before choosing the corrective change.
Incorrect Answers
This would be a reasonable check when an LACP bundle has four member links, but only two forward because the partner uses a different aggregation key, but is less direct for the issue at hand: the trunk's allowed-VLAN list excludes the tagged client networks.
This would be a reasonable check when a floor switch responds on the out-of-band management port, but traffic sourced from its default VRF cannot reach the telemetry server, but is less direct for the issue at hand: the trunk's allowed-VLAN list excludes the tagged client networks.
This would be a reasonable check when a new branch switch powers on but remains absent from Central after its management VLAN is provisioned, but is less direct for the issue at hand: the trunk's allowed-VLAN list excludes the tagged client networks.
