Question 240
During a planned campus-network change at a public library in Portland, operators discover that operators attempt to solve missing inter-VLAN routing by adding another native VLAN on the trunk. The design must preserve staff and visitor wireless access. What evidence should the engineer request after the repair?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This observation tests the SVI gateway and inter-VLAN reachability requirement at a public library in Portland. The expected result is that clients in each subnet reach their local gateway and only the authorized inter-VLAN flows succeed. The necessary correction is to create and validate the SVI on the correct VLAN with appropriate IP addressing, routing and permitted cross-VLAN policy; a saved configuration alone would not prove it is working. In this case, the observed fault is that operators attempt to solve missing inter-VLAN routing by adding another native VLAN on the trunk.
Incorrect Answers
At a public library in Portland, this measures a different network requirement, Ingress ACL enforcement and least privilege. The case describes that operators attempt to solve missing inter-VLAN routing by adding another native VLAN on the trunk, so accepting this result would leave the primary fault without direct verification.
At a public library in Portland, this would verify VLAN trunk and native VLAN consistency, not the failure reported in this scenario. The requested closure criterion instead concerns SVI gateway and inter-VLAN reachability: clients in each subnet reach their local gateway and only the authorized inter-VLAN flows succeed.
At a public library in Portland, the observation may be useful for a separate DHCP snooping and rogue DHCP protection test, but it does not establish that operators attempt to solve missing inter-VLAN routing by adding another native VLAN on the trunk has been resolved. The relevant check is the SVI gateway and inter-VLAN reachability outcome.
