Zorluk: Çok zorSwitching Concepts and VLANs

A network engineer is inspecting Layer 2 traffic behavior across two directly connected switches, Switch-A and Switch-B, linked via an 802.1Q trunk interface. Switch-A is configured with native VLAN 10 on its trunk port, while Switch-B is configured with native VLAN 20 on its corresponding trunk port. Allowed VLANs on both trunk ports include VLANs 10, 20, and 30. A host connected to an access port assigned to VLAN 10 on Switch-A generates an ARP broadcast request. Which TWO of the following statements accurately describe how the switches process, tag, and forward this frame across the trunk link?

  1. Switch-A transmits the ARP broadcast frame out of its trunk port without an 802.1Q VLAN header.Cevap
  2. Switch-B assigns the incoming untagged ARP broadcast frame to VLAN 20 and floods it out all active access ports in VLAN 20.Cevap
  3. C
    Switch-A appends an 802.1Q tag containing VLAN ID 10 because broadcast frames are mandatory-tagged across all trunk links regardless of native VLAN settings.
  4. D
    Switch-B rewrites the source MAC address and Layer 3 IP header of the frame to perform inter-VLAN routing between VLAN 10 and VLAN 20.
  5. E
    Switch-B drops the frame immediately upon receipt because untagged frames are disallowed on 802.1Q trunks configured with allowed VLAN lists.

Cevap

The correct statements are that Switch-A transmits the ARP broadcast frame out of its trunk port without an 802.1Q VLAN header, and Switch-B receives the untagged frame and assigns it to VLAN 20, flooding it out all active access ports in VLAN 20.
Under IEEE 802.1Q specifications, a switch transmitting traffic belonging to its configured native VLAN over a trunk interface strips the 4-byte 802.1Q VLAN header, sending standard untagged Ethernet frames. On the receiving side, Switch-B associates any incoming untagged frame with its own configured native VLAN (VLAN 20). Consequently, the broadcast frame generated in VLAN 10 on Switch-A leaks directly into VLAN 20 on Switch-B and is flooded to all VLAN 20 access ports.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine frame ingress and tagging logic at Switch-A
Host frame enters Switch-A on access VLAN 10. Switch-A prepares to forward the broadcast frame out trunk port Gi0/1. Because native VLAN on Switch-A's trunk is configured as VLAN 10, the 802.1Q tag is omitted (sent untagged).
IEEE 802.1Q standard requires frames belonging to the configured native VLAN of a trunk interface to be transmitted without a 4-byte 802.1Q tag.
2
Determine frame reception and classification logic at Switch-B
Switch-B receives an untagged Ethernet frame on its trunk interface Gi0/1. Switch-B evaluates its local trunk configuration, where native VLAN is set to 20. Switch-B implicitly assigns the untagged frame to VLAN 20.
A switch receiving untagged traffic on an 802.1Q trunk port automatically maps that traffic to its own locally configured native VLAN ID.
3
Analyze Layer 2 broadcast forwarding behavior
Once classified into VLAN 20 on Switch-B, the broadcast frame is flooded to all interfaces belonging to VLAN 20's broadcast domain.
Switches flood broadcast frames to all operational ports within the destination frame's assigned VLAN broadcast domain.
