Exam N10-008 topic 1 question 853 discussion

This one was on my test that I took on 10/30/2024. There were only 4 commands that shows up after typing help. Commands are - Show Interface, Show ARP, Show MAC Address-Table, Show Vlan.

Switch 1: Check the VLAN configuration using commands like show vlan brief or show interfaces switchport If the VLAN settings are misconfigured or the server is on a different VLAN than intended, it will cause communication issues. The fact that the "Incorrect VLAN" option is the selected answer indicates that the VLAN mismatch was found on this switch. Switch 2: Run show interfaces status or show ip interface brief to check the status of the interfaces. If the interface between Access Switch 2 and another device (e.g., Storage) is showing as down or not connected, the cause is a disconnected interface. Core Switch 1: Similar to Access Switch 1, use the show vlan brief command to verify VLAN configuration on the Core Switch. The core switch is responsible for routing traffic between different segments of the network. If there is a VLAN misconfiguration on the core switch, devices across the network would not communicate properly.

I had this one on my test. Unfortunately think I missed it even though I passed pretty comfortably. The commands it gives you are something like show interface, show mac address table, show IP address and show vlan. The core switch had both servers set up with 2 vlans outside the default one. The access switches had the correct vlans set up on the port going to the core switch but only had one vlan set for the server/storage that they were connected to. I couldn't find any interface issues.
