Match each statement with the correct term.
Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.
This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

25. How does a DHCP server send WLC addresses?
Option 43
MAC addresses are learned from the source MAC of incoming frames. If the destination address is unknown - the frame is flooded out all except the receiving port.
Value - mask - and result (VMR) combinations
Both ends should be on because on modes doesn't send PAgP or LACP packets

CEF is distributed completely among multiple L3 forwarding engines.
Hosts within a secondary can communicate with each other and with the primary - but not with another secondary vlan
Any dhcp reply coming from an untrusted port is discarded and the offending port is put in errdisable
43. What does the rewrite engine do?
Cisco proprietary. 1 instance of STP/VLAN. Requires ISL instead of dot1q
Any ports associated with an isolated vlan can reach the primary - but not any other secondary. Hosts withn an isolated vlan can't reach each other

Only when a nonedge port transitions to forwarding
A private VLAN can be logically associated with a special secondary vlan
48. What is the default 10mbps Enet duplex?
On the left as you face the connector
