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.
A trunk port will need to be configured on the link between Sw_A and Sw_B for the ping
command to be successful.
B.
The two different hosts will need to be in the same VLAN in order for the ping command to be
successful.
C.
A Layer 3 device is needed for the ping command to be successful.
D.
The ping command will be successful without any further configuration changes.
Explanation:
In order for hosts in different VLANs to communicate, they must be connected via a trunk link. If
the Sw_A and Sw_B link was a trunk, traffic from both VLAN 2 and VLAN 5 would be sent across.
