Which of the following describes a way to disable IEEE standard autonegotiation on a 10/100 port on a Cisco switch?
- A.
Configure the negotiate disable interface subcommand
- B.
Configure the speed 100 and duplex full interface subcommands
- C.
Configure the speed 100 interface subcommand
- D.
Configure the duplex half interface subcommand
- E.
Configure the duplex full interface subcommand
Correct Answer
B. Configure the speed 100 and duplex full interface subcommandsExplanation
The correct answer is to configure the speed 100 and duplex full interface subcommands. This is because setting the speed to 100 and duplex to full manually disables the autonegotiation feature of the IEEE standard on a 10/100 port on a Cisco switch. Autonegotiation allows devices to automatically negotiate and select the best speed and duplex settings for communication. By manually configuring the speed and duplex, the switch will not negotiate with the connected device and will operate at the specified settings.Rate this question:

The vlan 2 global configuration command
- B.
The name MY-VLAN vlan subcommand
- C.
The interface range Fa0/13 - 15 global configuration command
- D.
The switchport vlan 2 interface subcommand
Correct Answer
A. The vlan 2 global configuration commandExplanation
The correct answer is the vlan 2 global configuration command. This command is used to create a VLAN with the VLAN ID of 2 in the global configuration mode. The output of the show vlan brief command indicates that a VLAN with ID 2, named "my-vlan", is active and is associated with the FastEthernet interfaces Fa0/13 and Fa0/15. Therefore, it can be inferred that the vlan 2 global configuration command was used to create and activate this VLAN.Rate this question:
