2. Answer: C
Switches are layer 2 devices and do not look at layer 3 packets.
3. Answer: C

4. Answer: E
VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) is a Cisco proprietary protocol that manages the addition, deletion, and renaming of Virtual Local Area Networks (VLAN) on a network.

5. Answer: A
ISL is a Cisco proprietary VLAN tagging protocol and therefore if you have a multi-vendor switch network you will need to choose the IEEE 802.1q standard instead of ISL.
6. Answer: C
The area of memory where the switch stores the data is called the memory buffer.
The memory buffer can use two methods for forwarding frames:
port-based memory buffering
shared memory buffering
In port-based memory buffering frames are stored in queues that are linked to specific incoming ports.
Shared memory buffering deposits all frames into a common memory buffer which all the ports on the switch share.
7. Answer: C
The link layer has the networking scope of the local network connection to which a host is attached. It is the lowest component layer of the Internet protocols, as TCP/IP is designed to be hardware independent. As a result, TCP/IP may be implemented on top of virtually any hardware networking technology.

8. Answer: A
Forward delay — The time that is spent in the listening and learning state, 15 sec by default, but you can tune the time to be between 4 and 30 sec.
