Question 210
A fictional service-provider team at Valleycrest Internet is reviewing a multi-tenant service turn-up. The finding is: A transport uplink must carry multiple VLANs, but it is left in access mode and forwards only the untagged access VLAN. Which observation would most directly establish that the reported failure has been repaired?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Hosts receive the intended untagged frames and trunk links carry the specified VLAN tags with correct membership. It tests the failed behavior itself rather than merely confirming that a configuration was committed. Access ports and trunk ports have different VLAN tagging and membership behaviors; link-up state does not make the modes equivalent.
Incorrect Answers
This measurement tests IS-IS LSP database synchronization; it cannot distinguish success from failure for the observed VLAN access trunk distinction condition. Access ports and trunk ports have different VLAN tagging and membership behaviors; link-up state does not make the modes equivalent.
The check is meaningful for integrated routing and bridging, but it does not prove that VLAN access trunk distinction was repaired. Access ports and trunk ports have different VLAN tagging and membership behaviors; link-up state does not make the modes equivalent.
The check is meaningful for MAC address learning and moves, but it does not prove that VLAN access trunk distinction was repaired. Access ports and trunk ports have different VLAN tagging and membership behaviors; link-up state does not make the modes equivalent.
