Tasks to do…Use non proprietary mode of aggregation with Switch B being the initiator

SIMULATION

Each of these vlans has one host each on its port
SVI on vlan 1 – ip 192.168.1.11 with snm
Switch B –
Ports 3, 4 connected to ports 3 and 4 on Switch A
Port 15 connected to Port on Router.
Tasks to do
1. Use non proprietary mode of aggregation with Switch B being the initiator
— Assumed use LACP with B being in Active mode

2. Use non proprietary trunking and no negotiation
— Assumed use switchport mode trunk and switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
3. Restrict only to vlans needed
— Assumed either vtp pruning or allowed vlan list. vtp pruning command did not seem to
work on the simulator so landed using allowed vlan list
4. SVI on vlan 1 with some ip and subnet given
5. Configure switch A so that nodes other side of Router C are accessible
— Assumed this to mean that on switch A default gatway has to be configured.
6. Make switch B the root
— Could not get this to work. Exam hung when I tried the command
spanning-tree vlan 1, 21-23 priority 4096

Answer: See the explanation
