What is the primary purpose of VLANs in a campus network?

To provide redundancy for links

To increase the speed of the core layer

To route traffic between different subnets

To segment traffic into separate broadcast domains

A network team is troubleshooting a loop in the access layer. They have two access switches connected to each other and also to the same distribution switch. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is enabled. What is the primary function of STP in this scenario?

Provide fast failover by immediately switching to the backup path.

Load balance traffic across both paths.

Prevent loops by blocking one of the redundant paths.

Increase bandwidth by using both paths simultaneously.

Which characteristic is most important for core layer switches in a campus network?

Support for Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Advanced QoS marking on every port

Low port density for end devices

High-speed forwarding and redundancy

What is the primary role of an access layer switch in a campus network?

To enforce security policies for all inter-VLAN traffic

To aggregate traffic from multiple distribution switches

To provide high-speed routing between distribution blocks

To connect end devices and forward their traffic toward the distribution layer

A distribution switch is configured to enforce QoS policies and perform inter-VLAN routing. A packet arrives from an access switch with a DSCP marking of EF (Expedited Forwarding). What should the distribution switch do with this packet?

Route the packet without applying any QoS because routing is the primary function.

Trust the DSCP marking and place the packet in the appropriate priority queue.

Re-mark the packet to a lower priority because it is from an access switch.

Drop the packet because EF is not allowed on the distribution layer.
