Hi Fabrice,
As Scott Morris pounded in my head on multiple threads on GS - don't read
more into a question than is there.
To me the question you ask is very specific and each question has the same
keyword that would dictate my answer:
1) permit even VLANs in range 2-9 ONLY
2) permit odd VLANs in range 2-9 ONLY
The 'ONLY' in each question tells me to use the allowed vlans in the
specified range - and nothing else.
To me the workbooks' answer is spot-on:
interface FastEthernet0/13
switchport trunk allowed vlan 2,4,6,8
!
interface FastEthernet0/14
switchport trunk allowed vlan 3,5,7,9
I know what you're thinking (and it's one of the many reasons that I had to
take the lab SEVEN times), but I can't stress enough Scott's message.
While I also agree with what Manjeet replied with - when in doubt, ask the
proctor - but I wouldn't guarantee a proctor would steer you any better
because in the proctor's view - the question is specific enough.
HTH,
Sean #17085

Subject: How to read a question (Trunking)
Hi Group,
Not sure if I understand the folowing question correctly (I am not native
English);
There is a trunk going from SW1 and SW2 using Fa0/13 to Fa0/14 on both
switches
1) Configure SW1 and SW2 to permit even VLANs in range 2-9 only on Fa0/13
port
2) Configure SW1 and SW2 to permit odd VLANs in range 2-9 only on Fa0/14
port
The is no mention about VLANs that are not in the range 2-9 thus I have
understood as below
1)odd VLANs in range 2-9 should not be allowed on Fa0/13
2)even VLANs in range 2-9 should not be allowed on Fa0/14
I then decided to go for the folowing config on both switches;
int fast 0/13
switchport trunk allowed vlan remove 3,5,7,9
int fast 0/14
switchport trunk allowed vlan remove 2,4,6,8
Which give me the folowing output;
interface FastEthernet0/13
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,2,4,6,8,10-4094
!
interface FastEthernet0/14
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,3,5,7,9-4094
The solution said;
interface FastEthernet0/13
switchport trunk allowed vlan 2,4,6,8
!
interface FastEthernet0/14
switchport trunk allowed vlan 3,5,7,9
Is my answer right or wrong? This question might look silly but only asking
because I know that for the exam there are scripts checking for specifics
lines in your config. I am starting to be scared when I see that I can loose
easy point like that during the exam.
Let me know what do you think, if I am wrong I might need to buy some
english books on top of the Cisco books that I have already ;-)
Fab
