Implementing Cisco IP Switched Networks (CCNP SWITCH, legacy) — Question 4

What will be behavior of an access port when a tagged packet is received with a VLAN ID of an access port?

Answer options

• A. Not Available
• B. tag is removed and packet is forwarded to the VLAN mentioned in the tag
• C. packet is dropped
• D. tag is removed and packet is forwarded on the VLAN of the access port

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because an access port will strip off the VLAN tag from the packet and forward it to the specified VLAN associated with that access port. Options A and C are incorrect because they do not describe the correct behavior of an access port, and option B is incorrect as it suggests forwarding to the VLAN indicated by the tag rather than the access port's VLAN.
