Which three statements are correct with regard to the IEEE 802.1Q standard? (Choose three)
A.
The IEEE 802.1Q frame format adds a 4 byte field to a Ethernet frame
B.
The packet is encapsulated with a 26 byte header and a 4 byte FCS
C.
The protocol uses point-to-multipoint connectivity
D.
The protocol uses point-to-point connectivity
E.
The IEEE 802.1Q frame uses multicast destination of 0x01-00-0c-00-00
F.
The IEEE 802.1Q frame retains the original MAC destination address
Explanation:
The IEEE 802.1Q protocol can also carry VLAN associations over trunk links. However, this frame identification method is standardized, allowing VLAN trunks to exist and operate between equipment from multiple vendors.
In particular, the IEEE 802.1Q standard defines an architecture for VLAN use, services provided with VLANs, and protocols and algorithms used to provide VLAN services. Like Cisco ISL, IEEE 802.1Q can be used for VLAN identification with Ethernet trunks. Instead of encapsulating each frame with a VLAN ID header and trailer, 802.1Q embeds its tagging information within the Layer 2 frame. This method is referred to as single-tagging or internal tagging.
802.1Q also introduces the concept of a native VLAN on a trunk. Frames belonging to this VLAN are not encapsulated with any tagging information. In the event that an end station is connected to an 802.1Q trunk link, the end station can receive and understand only the native VLAN frames. This provides a simple way to offer full trunk encapsulation to the devices that can understand it, while giving normal access stations some inherent connectivity over the trunk.
