Q:

Which command will configure a switch port to use the IEEE standard method of inserting VLAN membership information into Ethernet frames?

A) Switch (config) #switchport trunk encapsulation ietf B) Switch (config) #switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
C) Switch (config-if) #switchport trunk encapsulation ietf D) Switch (config-if) #switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Switch (config-if) #switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

Explanation:

If you are on a 2950 switch, then the interface command is just swichport mode trunk since the 2050 can only run the  IEEE 802.1q version. However, a 3550 can run both ISL and 802.1q, so you must also use the encapsulation command. The argument to choose 802.1q for a trunking protocol is dot1q.

Q:

A switch has been configured configured for three different VLANs : VLAN2, VLAN3 and VLAN4. A router has been added to provide communication between the VLANs. What minimum type of interface necessary on the router if only one connection is to be made between the router and the switch?

A) 10Mbps Ethernet B) 56Kbps Serial
C) 100Mbps Ethernet D) 1Gbps Ethernet
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 100Mbps Ethernet

Explanation:

Although you can use either 100Mbps or 1Gbps Ethernet, the 100Mbps is necessary at a minimum and is the best answer to this question. You need to trunk the link from the switch to the router to make this connection work with inter-VLAN communication.
