Refer to the exhibit. Both host stations are part of the same subnet but are in different
VLANs. On the basis of the information presented in the exhibit, which statement is true
about an attempt to ping from host to host?
A.
The two different hosts will need to be in the same VLAN in order for the ping command
to be successful.
B.
A Layer 3 device is needed for the ping command to be successful.
C.
The ping command will be successful without any further configuration changes.
D.
A trunk port will need to be configured on the link between Sw_A and Sw_B for the ping
command to be successful.
Explanation:
Normally, to transport packets between VLANs, you must use a Layer 3 device. However, in
this case the “switchport mode access” command has been used for these ports so the
VLAN information will be sent along untagged. Devices that are in different VLANs can ping
each other as long as they are in the same subnet when the VLAN information is untagged.
