NEW QUESTION # 554
in Which way does a spine and-leaf architecture allow for scalability in a network when additional access ports are required?
- A. A leaf switch can be added with a single connection to a core spine switch.
- B. A leaf switch can be added with connections to every spine switch
- C. A spine switch can be added with at least 40 GB uplinks
- D. A spine switch and a leaf switch can be added with redundant connections between them
Answer: B
Explanation:
Spine-leaf architecture is typically deployed as two layers: spines (such as an aggregation layer), and leaves (such as an access layer). Spine-leaf topologies provide high-bandwidth, low-latency, nonblocking server-to-server connectivity.
Leaf (aggregation) switches are what provide devices access to the fabric (the network of spine and leaf switches) and are typically deployed at the top of the rack. Generally, devices connect to the leaf switches.
Devices can include servers, Layer 4-7 services (firewalls and load balancers), and WAN or Internet routers. Leaf switches do not connect to other leaf switches. In spine-and-leaf architecture, every leaf should connect to every spine in a full mesh.
Spine (aggregation) switches are used to connect to all leaf switches and are typically deployed at the end or middle of the row. Spine switches do not connect to other spine switches.

NEW QUESTION # 558
Refer to the exhibit. Based on the LACP neighbor status, in which mode is the SW1 port channel configured?
- A. mode on
- B. auto
- C. passive
- D. active
Answer: D
Explanation:
From the neighbor status, we notice the "Flags" are SP. "P" here means the neighbor is in Passive mode. In order to create an Etherchannel interface, the (local) SW1 ports should be in Active mode. Moreover, the "Port State" in the exhibit is "0x3c" (which equals to "00111100" in binary format). Bit 3 is "1" which means the ports are synchronizing -> the ports are working so the local ports should be in Active mode.

Which result occurs when PortFast is enabled on an interface that is connected to another switch?
- A. Root port choice and spanning tree recalculation are accelerated when a switch link goes down
- B. VTP is allowed to propagate VLAN configuration information from switch to switch automatically.
- C. Spanning tree may fail to detect a switching loop in the network that causes broadcast storms
- D. After spanning tree converges PortFast shuts down any port that receives BPDUs.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Enabling the PortFast feature causes a switch or a trunk port to enter the STP forwarding-state immediately or upon a linkup event, thus bypassing the listening and learning states.
Note: To enable portfast on a trunk port you need the trunk keyword "spanning-tree portfast trunk"

Answer: C
Explanation:
AAA stands for Authentication, Authorization and Accounting.
+ Authentication: Specify who you are (usually via login username & password) + Authorization:
Specify what actions you can do, what resource you can access + Accounting: Monitor what you do, how long you do it (can be used for billing and auditing) An example of AAA is shown below:
+ Authentication: "I am a normal user. My username/password is user_tom/learnforever" + Authorization: "user_tom can access LearnCCNA server via HTTP and FTP" + Accounting:
"user_tom accessed LearnCCNA server for 2 hours". This user only uses "show" commands.
