Refer to the exhibit. A network technician is asked to design a small network with redundancy. The exhibit represents this design, with all hosts configured in the same VLAN. What conclusions can be made about this design?
A.
This design will function as intended.
B.
Spanning-tree will need to be used.
C.
The router will not accept the addressing scheme.
D.
The connection between switches should be a trunk.
E.
The router interfaces must be encapsulated with the 802.1Q protocol.
I think we should reveal the designer name for future references. He has done terrible job in designing like this. Just to lighten up the mood.
on serious not what if we have switch interface (SVI) on the router it could work but not as intended
Based on the drawing it seems they are L2 switches so yeah router wont accept as it would need minimum 2 subnets to be able to differentiate WAN from LAN
The two switch ought to model the spine-leaf network architecture to create a redundant network; that is, every host must have one connection to each switch, in case one of the switch goes inactive the other takes the relay.
why in packet tracer a router accepts 192.168.1.1 /24 in one interface and 192.168.1.2 in another interface?
And, the switches are connected toghether... so, if there was 2 different subnets this link were nonsese... I don't understand...
Badly worded question. Not enough info is given. If these are L2 switches, then C is correct. That was probably the author's intention. However, if they are L3 switches, then C would be wrong, so D would be the answer. I think C is the answer they want.
The link between the two switches creates a single broadcast domain. And a broadcast domain maps to a subnet.
Any interface on Router1 must be assigned to a subnet which is distinct from every other interface. But, in this case, the network design doesn’t comply with such requirement.
A. This design will function as intended.
Wrong answer.
B. Spanning-tree will need to be used.
Wrong answer.
C. The router will not accept the addressing scheme.
Correct answer.
D. The connection between switches should be a trunk.
Wrong answer.
E. The router interfaces must be encapsulated with the 802.1Q protocol.
Wrong answer.
The network needs to be designed properly before STP (PVST+ or other) can be used. According to the diagram, best answer that fits is C as router will not accept multiple IPs from the same subnet.
STP is needed to avoid packet loops on layer 2. The router does not forward layer 2 broadcast on routed interfaces, so there is no loop created, which would makes STP necessary.
