CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 624

A company is sending a switch to a remote site to be reused. An administrator needs to move the switch and ensure no network settings persist. Which of the following databases does the administrator need to delete?

Answer options

• A. VLAN
• B. STP
• C. ARP
• D. Trunking

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, ARP, because it stores the mappings of IP addresses to MAC addresses which can persist across uses. The other options, such as VLAN, STP, and Trunking settings are related to network structure and protocols, but they do not directly relate to the persistent data that needs to be cleared for a switch being reused.
