200-301 Exam - Question 201


Refer to the exhibit. Which two commands when used together create port channel 10? (Choose two.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AC

To create a port channel using LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol), the interfaces involved can either be set to 'active' or 'passive' mode. The 'active' mode will actively try to form a connection, while 'passive' mode will wait for the other end to initiate the connection. In the given scenario, options 'int range g0/0-1 channel-group 10 mode active' and 'int range g0/0-1 channel-group 10 mode passive' together can successfully create a port channel because one side ('active') initiates the connection and the other side ('passive') responds to the initiation, thus forming the LACP link.

Desirable/Auto (PAGP) Active/Passive (LACP)

L-AC-P has "AC" in the middle which is easier to remember as an Active :D

I only see A as the answer because the configuration does the same on both interfaces so if they are both mode Active it will form an LACP channel; which is what is required. If both are auto it will not form, if both are desirable it will form an PAGP channel, which is not what is required, if they are both on there will be no protocol, if they are passive no LACP will form. So the only answer is A.

The command output given is only for one side of the Etherchannel on the Switch in question (we are not given the details of the other switch, do we have to assume that the other switch ends with the same interfaces and the same Channel-group?) , so option A :" mode Active" ensures that the switch will take the initiative and tries to form the channel. Surely it will result in success as the other end has one of 2 options (active or passive). Of course, assuming that the other end on the other switch is not incorrectly reconfigured using PAgP options (auto/desirable) or the no protocol option (mode on). Theses case results in that the channel is not formed. For Choice C, it does not guarantee Ether-Channel formation as long as we don't have information about which mode the other end is being configured (if Active, channel is formed, if passive, channel is not formed). Requiring 2 answers without having information about the other end is not correct Also, if the 2 has to be used yogether (on the same switch) the second one will replace the first.

Exactly, the other switch should have both of its participating ports set to "active" if I'm basing it off this display output. Otherwise, LAG won't form because it shows here that both interfaces for channel 10 is "passive".

LACP(vendor natural)form a Ether channel = (Active & Active) / (Active & Passive) / (Passive & Actives) PAgP (CISCO) form a Ether channel = (Desirable & Desirable) / (Desirable & Auto) / (Auto & Desirable)

As long as at least (I repeat AT LEAST) one states "active", LACP forms. gg good day Go Dodgers

PAgP- Disirable/Auto (Link formation) LACP- Active/Active or Active/Passive (Link formation)

Answer - A & C. If you saw PAGP under protocol, in the screenshot, the answer would've been B & D.

If LACP PortChannel B is Passive, then LACP PortChannel A must be Active Or the reverse, A-to-B = Active-to-Passive. (Together, this will work).

A and D is right Easy to know if familiar to Etherchannel

I take back what I said on a reply about the display output. The (P) next to the interface actually means "in port-channel". I thought it stood for "passive." I was wrong. Here are the Flag codes: Flags: D - down P - in port-channel I - stand-alone s - suspended H - Hot-standby (LACP only) R - Layer3 S - Layer2 U - in use f - failed to allocate aggregator u - unsuitable for bundling w - waiting to be aggregated d - default port So, my final answer A & C. active-passive (or can also do active-active)
