CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 872

What is a reason to configure a trunk port that connects to a WLC distribution port?

Answer options

• A. Provide redundancy if there is a link failure for out-of-band management.
• B. Allow multiple VLANs to be used in the data path.
• C. Permit multiple VLANs to provide out-of-band management.
• D. Eliminate redundancy with a link failure in the data path.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because trunk ports are designed to carry traffic from multiple VLANs, allowing for more efficient use of network resources. Options A and C are incorrect as they pertain to out-of-band management, which is not the primary function of a trunk port in this context. Option D is incorrect because redundancy is typically maintained, not eliminated, in a properly configured network.
