HP Exam HPE2-W09 Topic 4 Question 60 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE2-W09 exam
Question #: 60
Topic #: 4
[All HPE2-W09 Questions]

Refer to the exhibits.

Is this how the switch handles the traffic?

Solution: A broadcast arrives with a VLAN 10 tag on 1/1/1 on Switch-1. Switch 1 drops the frame.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Based on the exhibits, Switch-1 has a trunk port on 1/1/1 that allows VLANs 10 and 20. Switch-2 has an access port on 1/1/2 that belongs to VLAN 10. Switch-3 has an access port on 1/1/3 that belongs to VLAN 20. If a broadcast arrives with a VLAN 10 tag on 1/1/1 on Switch-1, Switch-1 does not drop the frame. Instead, Switch-1 forwards the frame to all ports that belong to VLAN 10, which includes the trunk port 1/1/2 and the access port 1/1/4. Switch-2 receives the frame on its access port 1/1/2 and forwards it to all ports in VLAN 10, which includes the access port 1/1/5. Switch-3 does not receive the frame because it is not in VLAN 10. Therefore, this is not how the switch handles the traffic, and the correct answer is no.

Wow, this question is so easy, a caveman could answer it. Of course the switch shouldn't be dropping frames like that. I'm going with B, and I'm feeling pretty confident about it.

Haha, this question is like a bad joke. Drop the frame with a VLAN 10 tag? What is this, amateur hour? I'm going with B, no way that's the right way to handle the traffic.

Hold up, let me double-check the exhibits. Yep, the correct answer is definitely B. No, that's not how the switch should handle the traffic. I bet the person who wrote this question is trying to trip us up!

Ah, I see what's going on here. The switch should forward the frame, not drop it. This must be a trick question or something. Time to brush up on my VLAN knowledge!

Hmm, I think the answer is B. No, the switch doesn't handle the traffic like that. I mean, dropping a frame with a VLAN 10 tag? That's just plain wrong, right?

Definitely, that doesn't seem like the right way for the switch to handle traffic.
