Why is it important that the native VLAN match on both ends of an 802.1Q trunk?

To allow the trunk to carry more than 4094 VLANs

To prevent untagged traffic from being placed in the wrong VLAN

To ensure that all frames are tagged with the correct VLAN ID

To enable DTP to negotiate the trunk link

A switch port is configured with 'switchport mode trunk'. Which additional command is required on a Cisco switch that supports both ISL and 802.1Q to ensure the trunk uses 802.1Q encapsulation?

What is a primary difference between a trunk port and an access port on a Cisco switch?

A trunk port can only carry traffic for one VLAN, while an access port carries traffic for all VLANs.

A trunk port carries traffic for multiple VLANs, while an access port carries traffic for a single VLAN.
