inserts MAC addressses dynamically into the CAM table. Layer 2 switching behavior is driven by VLAN membership, MAC learning, trunk encapsulation, STP state, and EtherChannel negotiation. Cisco switches learn source MAC addresses on ingress, flood unknown unicasts within the same VLAN, and forward known unicasts only out the port associated with the destination MAC address. Trunk and EtherChannel questions must be solved on the logical interface and with the correct negotiation protocol: LACP uses active/passive, PAgP uses desirable/auto, and static mode uses on. STP and PortFast questions depend on whether the port is intended for an endpoint or part of the switched topology. The wrong choices usually apply the correct feature to the wrong port type or violate the required negotiation behavior. Cisco CCNA 200-301 v1.1 emphasizes these details because a single incorrect Layer 2 setting can create loops, VLAN leaks, or failed host connectivity. The selected answer matches Cisco switching operation.

Modify the static EtherChannel configuration of the device to passive mode.. Cisco forwarding uses longest- prefix match first, then administrative distance and metric when multiple sources compete. Cisco CCNA 200-
301 v1.1 includes this under Network Access, where the expected skill is identifying the mechanism that actually satisfies the scenario. The wording usually gives the decisive clue: a protocol number, a route prefix, a control-plane role, a wireless security method, or a management command. Wrong choices either do not match the destination prefix, point to the wrong next hop, or fail to create the required primary or backup route. In a real network, selecting the wrong option would usually produce a failed adjacency, broken client connectivity, insecure management access, or an incorrect forwarding path. The selected answer matches the Cisco behavior and configuration model required by the question, so it is retained as the verified answer for this item.

From the output, we see R1 will use the entry "O 10.10.13.0/25 [110/4576] via 10.10.10.1, ..." to reach host
10.10.13.10. This is a network route.
Note: "B* 0.0.0.0/0 ..." is a default route.

Solution is given below explanation.
Explanation:
To configure an LACP EtherChannel and number it as 44, configure it between switches SW1 and SW2 using interfaces Ethernet0/0 and Ethernet0/1 on both sides, configure the EtherChannel as a trunk link, configure the trunk link with 802.1q tags, and configure VLAN 'MONITORING' as the untagged VLAN of the EtherChannel, you need to follow these steps:
On both SW1 and SW2, enter the global configuration mode by using the configure terminal command.
On both SW1 and SW2, select the two interfaces that will form the EtherChannel by using the interface range ethernet 0/0 - 1 command. This will enter the interface range configuration mode.
On both SW1 and SW2, set the protocol to LACP by using the channel-protocol lacp command.
On both SW1 and SW2, assign the interfaces to an EtherChannel group number 44 by using the channel- group 44 mode active command. This will create a logical interface named Port-channel44 and set the LACP mode to active on both ends. The LACP mode must match on both ends for the EtherChannel to form.
On both SW1 and SW2, exit the interface range configuration mode by using the exit command.
On both SW1 and SW2, enter the Port-channel interface configuration mode by using the interface port- channel 44 command.
On both SW1 and SW2, configure the Port-channel interface as a trunk link by using the switchport mode trunk command.
On both SW1 and SW2, configure the Port-channel interface to use 802.1q tags for VLAN identification by using the switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q command.
On both SW1 and SW2, configure VLAN 'MONITORING' as the untagged VLAN of the Port-channel interface by using the switchport trunk native vlan MONITORING command.
On both SW1 and SW2, exit the Port-channel interface configuration mode by using the exit command.
On both SW1 and SW2, save the configuration to NVRAM by using the copy running-config startup-config command.
