[All H35-210_V2.5 Questions]

Which method is not used for VLAN categorization?

BBased on protocols

CBased on physical locations

ABased on ports

DBased on MAC addresses

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) are used to logically segment a network into smaller broadcast domains. VLANs can be categorized using various methods:

Port-Based VLANs :

VLAN membership is determined by the switch port to which a device is connected.

Example: Ports 1--10 belong to VLAN 10, and ports 11--20 belong to VLAN 20.

Protocol-Based VLANs :

VLAN membership is determined by the protocol type (e.g., IPv4, IPv6, or AppleTalk) in the packet header.

MAC Address-Based VLANs :

VLAN membership is determined by the MAC address of the device.

Example: Devices with specific MAC addresses are assigned to VLAN 10.

Physical Location-Based VLANs :

VLANs are not categorized based on physical locations. While VLANs can be used to group devices in different physical locations, this is not a standard method of VLAN categorization.

Thus, the correct answer is C , as VLANs are not categorized based on physical locations.

Definitely not VTP. It's for managing VLANs, not categorizing.

Agreed! It's not for categorization.

I think the answer is "VLAN Trunking Protocol."

Nope, that's not a method for VLANs.

VLAN tagging is a common method.

Hmm, I'm going with Inter-Switch Link (ISL) as the answer. That's not a VLAN categorization method, right?

Haha, I bet the answer is something like "Carrier Pigeon" or "Smoke Signals." Those definitely aren't VLAN methods!

Isn't it Trunking? I'm pretty sure that's not used for VLAN categorization.

I think the exam had a similar question about VLAN methods, and I chose the wrong one. I hope I don't make the same mistake again!

I feel like there was a method that didn't fit with VLAN categorization, but I can't remember which one it was.

I remember practicing a question about VLAN tagging, but I can't recall if there was a method that wasn't used.

I think VLAN categorization usually involves methods like port-based and protocol-based, but I'm not sure about the third option.

Alright, let me think this through step-by-step. Port-based, protocol-based, MAC-based... I'm pretty sure the one that's not used is subnet-based VLANs. Yeah, that's got to be it.

Ugh, I'm drawing a blank on the different VLAN categorization methods. I'll have to guess on this one and hope I get lucky.

I'm pretty confident I know the answer to this one. I think the method that's not used for VLAN categorization is IP-based VLANs. But I'll double-check my notes just to be sure.

Okay, let me see... I know there's port-based, protocol-based, and MAC-based VLANs. I'm guessing the answer has to be one of those, but I'm not totally sure which one isn't used.
