Implementing Cisco IP Switched Networks (CCNP SWITCH, legacy) — Question 61
When using auxiliary VLANs, how is a phone configured with the appropriate VLAN to join?
Answer options
- A. the administrator configures the phone with CLI
- B. the switch connected to the phone provides the VLAN
- C. the PC attached to the phone provides the VLAN information
- D. a VMPS server provides the VLAN for the switch and phone B
Correct answer:
Explanation
The correct answer is B, as the switch connected to the phone is responsible for providing the appropriate VLAN information through mechanisms such as VLAN assignment protocols. Options A and C are incorrect because configuring the phone via CLI or relying on the connected PC does not align with how auxiliary VLANs function. Option D is also incorrect as the VMPS server manages VLAN assignments but is not typically involved in direct phone configuration.
