Q1 (Hong Theen / Choon Keat)
VLAN is logical connections or a logical partition of layer 2 networks via a switch that connects
similar devices together.
Placing devices into various VLANs will provide segmentation of the various groups of devices
on the same switches.
Each VLAN is a broadcast domain that can span multiple physical LAN segments.
Q2 (Kai Mun)
Benefit:
- Smaller Broadcast Domain
- Improved Security
- Improved IT Efficiency
- Reduced Cost
- Better Performance
- Simpler Management
Q3 (Pei Si)
Default VLAN cannot be deleted or renamed.
In Default VLAN all switch ports turn into a member of the default VLAN just after the initial
bootup of the switch.
Default VLAN is VLAN1.
Default VLAN is also the Native VLAN.
Default VLAN is referred to as Management VLAN.
Q4 i) (Gee Mui)
Data VLAN is dedicated to user-generated traffic only. It can carry voice-based traffic or traffic
used to manage the switch, but this traffic would not be part of a data VLAN.
E.g. VLAN 10 for Student subnet.
VLAN number from 1 to 1005.
Q4 ii) (Yen Tung)
It is used for trunk links only to allow the traffic to go through between switches. All frames will
be tagged with 802.1Q trunk link but not included for the frames that are on native VLAN.
Trunk ports can carry traffics that are associated with various VLANs.
Q4 iii) (Wing Chi)
This is used for SSH/Telnet VTY traffic and should not be carried with end user traffic.
Typically, the VLAN is the SVI for the Layer 2 switch.
Q5 (Poh Yan)

Q6 (Joo Yee)
VLAN Extended VLAN
The configurations are stored in the [Link] Requires VTP configurations
file in flash
Used by Service Providers
Used in small to medium size business
1002 – 1005 are reserved for legacy VLANs Are in Running-Config
Q7 (Wei Peow)
a. Two ports, Fa0/1 and Gig0/1, are removed from VLAN 1, hence it is missing from the list
of ports at VLAN 1 section of the output. All other ports are assigned into VLAN 1 by
default.
b. VLAN 1 and VLAN 1002-1005 are automatically created by default.
Why are ports of FA0/1 & G0/1 not listed in the output?
- Those ports are trunk links.
- Those ports are parked under 1 data VLAN and that data VLAN was deleted.
Q8 (Alvin)
Use command “no switchport trunk native vlan 88”, “no switchport trunk allowed vlan
88,100,110,120” and “switchport mode dynamic auto”.
Q9 (Cass -> identify problem. Kai Xuan -> Solution)
S2 FastEthernet 0/1 don't have switchport mode trunk and S1 FastEthernet 0/1 don't have
switchport mode trunk. So the frame from PC1 cannot transmit from S2 to S1 when it needs to
send the frame to the server. A trunk connection is needed to transfer traffic for all VLANs from
a switch to another.
At S1 and S2 of Fa0/1, issue switchport mode trunk command.
Q10
Device and Interface Problem Solution
S1 interface G0/1 Did not configure native vlan Configure native vlan using
to 56 command
switchport trunk native vlan
56
PC B The wrong IP address is Delete the exist PC B IP, and
assigned to VLAN 56 assign the new address
which is [Link]/24
S3 F0/11 F0/11 is belong to vlan 1, Add command switchport
F0/11 not yet assigned to access vlan 10
vlan 10 Int f0/11 sw a v 10
S2 switchport access vlan 10， switchport access vlan 56
S1 Haven’t created VLAN10 Create VLAN 10 at S1
G0/2 of S1 and G0/2 of S3 Configured with switchport The correct configuration is
mode access switchport mode trunk
