300-370 · Question #128

Refer to the exhibits. An engineer is troubleshooting connectivity issues on the guest network. Which cause of the issue is true?

The correct answer is D. The trunk port does not have the correct VLANs allowed. An engineer is troubleshooting guest network connectivity issues, likely related to VLAN configuration on a trunk port.

Why each option

An engineer is troubleshooting guest network connectivity issues, likely related to VLAN configuration on a trunk port.

AThe spanning-tree portfast trunk command must be removed.

The 'spanning-tree portfast trunk' command is generally recommended on trunk ports connecting to devices like APs to speed up port transitions, and removing it would likely worsen, not fix, connectivity issues.

BThe switchport mode must be configured as access.

A switchport connected to an multiple-VLAN-aware device like an access point or a WLC must be configured as a trunk port, not an access port, to allow traffic for all associated VLANs.

CThe interface group has incorrect mappings.

Without an exhibit showing interface group configuration, this choice is speculative, and incorrect VLAN allowance on a trunk port is a more fundamental and common cause for specific VLAN connectivity issues.

DThe trunk port does not have the correct VLANs allowed.Correct

Guest networks typically reside on a specific VLAN that needs to be allowed across trunk links from the access points to the WLC or router. If the trunk port connecting a device (e.g., an access point or a router interface for guest traffic) does not explicitly permit the guest VLAN, traffic for that network will be dropped, leading to connectivity issues.
