configured for auto duplex and the PC is configured for full duplex. What will
commonly cause this problem?
The PC is set to full duplex. The switch port fails to autonegotiate the
duplex setting and defaults to half duplex, which causes a duplex mismatch.
The switch traffic is exceeding available frame buffers. The result is that
frames are being dropped.
The PC and the default gateway have different bandwidth Ethernet ports.
The default gateway is not on the same switch that the PC is.
95. Refer to the exhibit. What does “LEARNING” mean as it relates to the

The Cisco IOS version does not support disabling the command history buffer.
The command history can only be disabled on a router, not a switch.
The size parameter reset the default buffer size but did not disable
access to the buffer.
103. Refer to the exhibit. What would happen if the network
administrator moved the network cable of Host A from interface Fa0/1 to Fa0/3 on
switch SW1?

between VLANs.
Host A is no longer a member of VLAN 10, because port Fa0/3 has been
manually assigned to VLAN 30.
Host A remains a member of VLAN 10, because the switch provides dynamic VLAN
assignment for the port.
Host A maintains connectivity to all members of VLAN 10, because it is connected
to the same physical network.

the switch can consistently ping the default gateway. The switch port is
configured for auto duplex and the PC is configured for full duplex. What will
commonly cause this problem?
The PC is set to full duplex. The switch port fails to autonegotiate the
duplex setting and defaults to half duplex, which causes a duplex mismatch.
The switch traffic is exceeding available frame buffers. The result is that
frames are being dropped.
The PC and the default gateway have different bandwidth Ethernet ports.
The default gateway is not on the same switch that the PC is.

The Cisco IOS version does not support disabling the command history buffer.
The command history can only be disabled on a router, not a switch.
The size parameter reset the default buffer size but did not disable
access to the buffer.
103. Refer to the exhibit. What would happen if the network
administrator moved the network cable of Host A from interface Fa0/1 to Fa0/3 on
switch SW1?
Host A remains a member of VLAN 10, because the router is routing traffic
between VLANs.
Host A is no longer a member of VLAN 10, because port Fa0/3 has been
manually assigned to VLAN 30.
Host A remains a member of VLAN 10, because the switch provides dynamic VLAN
assignment for the port.
Host A maintains connectivity to all members of VLAN 10, because it is connected
to the same physical network.

between VLANs.
Host A is no longer a member of VLAN 10, because port Fa0/3 has been
manually assigned to VLAN 30.
Host A remains a member of VLAN 10, because the switch provides dynamic VLAN
assignment for the port.
Host A maintains connectivity to all members of VLAN 10, because it is connected
to the same physical network.
