VTP Configuration Sim
Question
[am4show have=’p2;’]A new switch is being added to our LAN. Complete the following steps:
+ Configuring the building_2 switch with an IP address and default gateway.
+ Use the last available IP address on the management subnet for the switch host address.
+ In addition, the switch needs to be configured to be in the same VTP domain as the building_1 switch and also needs to be configured as a VTP client.
+ Assume that the IP configuration and VTP configuration on building_1 are complete and correct.
The configuration of the router is not accessible for this exercise. You must accomplish the following tasks:
Determine and configure the IP host address of the new switch.
Determine and configure the default gateway of the new switch.
Determine and configure the correct VTP domain name for the new switch.
Configure the new switch as a VTP client.
Note: You might be asked to use first, second… available IP address on the management subnet.[/am4show]
Answer and Explanation
If you are not sure about VTP, please read my VTP tutorial
The question states we can’t access the router so we can only get required information from switch building_1. Click on the PC connected with switch building_1 (through a console line) to access switch building_1’s CLI. On this switch use the show running-config command:
building_1#show running-config
Next use the show vtp status command to learn about the vtp domain on this switch
building_1#show vtp status
(Notice: the IP address, IP default-gateway and VTP domain name might be different!!!)
You should write down these 3 parameters carefully.
Configuring the new switch
+ Determine and configure the IP host address of the new switch
The question requires “for the switch host address, you should use the last available IP address on the management subnet”. The building_1 switch’s IP address, which is 192.168.22.50 255.255.255.224, belongs to the management subnet.
Increment: 32 (because 224 = 1110 0000)
Network address: 192.168.22.32
Broadcast address: 192.168.22.63
->The last available IP address on the management subnet is 192.168.22.62 and it hasn’t been used (notice that the IP address of Fa0/1 interface of the router is also the default gateway address 192.168.22.35).
Also notice that the management IP address of a switch should be configured in Vlan1 interface. After it is configured, we can connect to it via telnet or SSH to manage it.
Switch2#configure terminal
Switch2(config)#interface Vlan1
Switch2(config-if)#ip address 192.168.22.62 255.255.255.224
Switch2(config-if)#no shutdown
+ Determine and configure the default gateway of the new switch
The default gateway of this new switch is same as that of building_1 switch, which is 192.168.22.35
Switch2(config-if)#exit
Switch2(config)#ip default-gateway 192.168.22.35
+ Determine and configure the correct VTP domain name for the new switch
The VTP domain name shown on building_1 switch is 9tut so we have to use it in the new switch (notice: the VTP domain name will be different in the exam and it is case sensitive so be careful)
Switch2(config)# vtp domain 9tut
+ Configure the new switch as a VTP client
Switch2(config)#vtp mode client
We should check the new configuration with the “show running-config” & “show vtp status”; also try pinging from the new switch to the the default gateway to make sure it works well.
Finally save the configuration
Switch2(config)#exit
Switch2#copy running-config startup-config
You can download this sim and practice it with Packet tracer here. If you have any problem with this file you can download another version of this sim here.
This was in my exam today. I passed it by 860. You have to config interface fao/24. Vlan1 is not exist. 9tut is the best. Thank you.
Got 804. This SIM was on it, however, when I clicked on the console for switch 2 I was given a Router terminal, and was unable to do any configs!
Anybody got a new dump?

Remember,,, this is a VTP sim… and you are configuring the CLIENT. The VTP will configur the VLAN once the VTP config is present. if you are configuring VLAN manually, you are wasiting your time… I got caught in that trap.. be carefull.. Ultimatly, you have to do what YOU feel you need to do. But if you stray too far off the objectives, you are doing nothing more that wasting time.. and Time, on this test, is a precious thing…. …
Hey guys am writting tommorrow any advise ? to expect ?
Hey guys am writting tommorrow any advise ? what to expect i think am ready but i do not want any suprises .
At the start of this simulation the switchs name is building_1. But on the configurations towards the end it shows switch2. Should the name of the new switch be building_2, not switch2?
Took the test last Thursday and this was the first question…
I just had this one. I was doing really well with 4 questions left and I got this one. I had spent the hour before the exam practicing all the config sim that I could find but they were all router config labs. This one came up and I just went into lockdown. I knew the command to add the ip address but I was trying to excecute it in one command. Obviously the switch command is broken into 2 commands and I kept gettting the incorrect command error. AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! I had about 2 minutes left and I got flustered and went on to the last three multiple choice questions. I finished with an 804. 825 was passing. You know that question would have put me over the top. The sims are supposed to be around 100 points each. Going back in in a week. Wish me luck!!

IS this on the ICND1 or 2?
@joe r
VTP is an ICND2 topic
Had this sim today. I could not figure out how to get vlan1 line protocol up even after no shutdown commands.
Had a very similar lab to this one yesterday, so this practise lab is a big help.
Furerlaz? That’s marvelously good to know.
Passed yesterday with 914. This sim was in my test. Very useful website make sure to read all the example questions as several appeared in the test.
@steven, do you recall ‘which’ example questions you saw in your test?
@everyone – any feedback for this test taker would be greatly appreciated – taking test tomorrow and doing my last day of cramming!
I should add I am currently going through the SIM questions on 9tut (which are nothing short of awesome) and looking at the current most popular dump from examcollection…..most of my foundation is set and looking good however still the odd area that throws me off a bit (Like IPv6 questions (different types of addresses are confusing), Root/designated port elections, NAT.
Took test today and di not pass. I ran out of time, I had 5 sims and one was the one listed above. Three were Frame Relay sims, one had a router connected to 3 other routers, you could console to central router. Lots of DLCI mapping questions.
Is there a Q&A section or a FORUM for ICND2? Like as seen at this link:http://www.9tut.com/ccna-faqs-a-tips
I take my ICND 2 tomorrow at 6:15pm! I will let you guys know what SIMs I run into!
Hi I passed my ICND2 exam today. There was one simulation on Frame Relay which i don’t see on this website. It’s better to add it. The scenario is main router has Frame Relay with 6 routers. console access is given to the main router. then answer the questions.
It would be nice if someone can add more information about this scenario.
Best of luck

Monroegraham: You had “5” SIMS on your exam? How much is each SIM usually worth by the way? Anyone know anything more about the Frame Relay SIM people are talking about?
Anyone have any information on the FRAME RELAY SIM that everyone is talking about that is on the exam?
I had this question. http://www.9tut.com/ccna-hotspot-questions It came late in the exam and I was running out of time.
I am re-taking my exam on 1/18/2013. I wish I would have seen this site before because a lot of the stuff on here is from the exam. Thanks 9tut!!!!!
When I open the packet tracer sim I only see the router and the switches. Is the a setting that I need to change to view the hosts or the consoles?
CAN ANYONE SEND ME THE SIMS AND DUMPS PLIZ ON shons@gmx.com
Just pass ICND2, VTP Sim on the test.
how to doing 9tut practise lab
anyone take the exam for the second time, which sim was on it the second time you took it?
Hello people I just pass ICND2 las saturday, 3 SIM , VTP, Frame relay and AL&NAT, Q1 on exam, thanks a lot 9tut, just practice gets the perfection!
hello i just want to ask..in your opinion, how long should we try to answer a sim? is 5 min too long for a sim to be answered?
This sim was on my ICND2 exam today!!
Pass icnd2 exam today score 9xx this sim was there. Thanks 9tut.net!
icepick you must answer the sims as long as you can, this part is very valuable for the exam i would say 45 % of total exam so make sure to answer this questions.
This was on my test today.
I’m having troubles designing a small network using ACL’s. I have basically a start network with 3 routers, 1 is redundancy, and 6 switches. Im trying to play with blocking (PC21 IP address 172.16.4.4 /23) from communicating with another pc (PC12 IP address 172.17.48.4 /21). I have the following setup on the closest router that I want to block for extended ACL’s.
access-list 100 deny ip host 172.16.4.4 host 172.17.48.4
access-list 100 permit ip any any
then went into the port which is FA6/0 and typed
ip access-group 100 permit ip any any
When I ping PC12 from PC21 it seems to work fine. Destination host unreachable. But I want PC12 to be able to still communicated with 21. Right now when I ping it says Request timed out.
Can anyone see any errors with my acl’s?
Im using Packet Tracer by the way. Trying to figure out ACL’s before I go take the test.
Passed my ICND2 today got 9xx studied from 9tut (thanks)cbt nuggets (Jeremy) exma collection and Wendell books. Study study and you will pass the exam easy. Good luck I received Frame relay and ospf lab, most of questions from this website.
Forgot to add I had this sim in the ICND2 exam today.
Did you have to enter the CLi info like the ip address and gateway?
Fleshwoound – Yes thats the only way to answer the question. I had to figure out the last address in the subnet, apply it to the switch, apply the default gateway and domain name
Got this one today on icnd1, 973=pass! Thanks 9Tut!
my bad… icnd2…
Can you use the ? to help with this sim, or is it disabled?
I took this exam twice and passed second attempt this past Friday. This sim was on both tests. Nail this one down. It’s real easy if you practice 930! Thanks 9tut!!
Passed ICND2 – today 45 questions, 75 mins, 825 to pass. VTP SIM, Dubai Router Testlet (Numbers were changed) , STP based questions from 9tut, and the Oct12 dump from examcollections.com is legit and questions appeared. thanks god!!!
If you know the frame relay concepts such as pvc, lmi, dlci and answer those questions quickly you should be fine with rest of the questions considering you have practiced the rest atleast a few times.
If preparing in last minute pls make sure you study all the questions in 9tut thoroughly, also a good place to start as they have explanations for majority of questions to refresh your memory for concepts.
For ICND2 should we prepare for all the sims and hotspots from CCNA too? I’m getting very tensed now. Please help.
Please help, would we be able to use “show running-config” on the exam?
If anyone can send me the SIMs please send it to the following if possible:
k.samat156@yahoo.com
The comment section is for helping each other out and leaving feedback from what folks experienced on the exam. NOT for begging for dumps. Stop wasting space and work hard like the rest of us!
thanks for Allah
passed my ICND2 today got 98 studied from 9tut (thanks)cbt nuggets and exma collection
this vtp sim it was in my exam for all don’t wary just go head you can do it.
finally I am CCNA.
little changes in ips 192.168.46.189 255.255.255.224
they need the last available IP address on the management subnet
192.168.46.190 its last ip.
be sure 9tut + last exam collection + practice for sim = pass
This sim was on my exam today but with different ips
Passed my ICND2 today. I was very surprised that I only had 1 SIM which was the VTP one on this page. The vast majority of questions are covered by 9TUT and VCE. However, do not think that you will pass without knowing how to work the Routers and switches. Also, I never used the manuals, I taught myself with Videos and labing, this was purely my decision based on the fact that I’m not academic and I find reading text difficult. The exam in itself was not that hard. Try to stay calm, as I had a minor melt down when I couldn’t remember the CMD’s for the SIM. Its funny as the SIM’s were by far my best topic but I had to leave it and move on. Practice practice practice is all I can say, and you will get there. Thank you 9TUT, I will be donating.
VTP SIM in ICND2 yesterday. They needed the first available address in subnet. Passed with 944/1000.
Gents, why dont you try to purchase cisco’s simulator by wendel odom. It has an approximate 300 predefined labs. these are all very much alike the ccna exam simm’s. It can also help you a lot on building confidence in router, switch configuration and troubleshooting. It helped me much.
Taking ICND2 4/9/2013 which is tomorrow! Wish me luck!!
Taking the exam on the 12th at 9am. 9Tut helped greatly with ICND1. Hoping for more of the same with ICND2. 9Tut is such a great aid in prepping for the exam. Will update after taking the exam with what I ran into.
Fleshwound, about your ACL’s, you type “IP” on your statement, as far as I know, if you type IP on any ACL’s, you block every protocol on that subnet or user, so be careful when using IP on any ACL’s. Also make sure to type “in” or “out” when applying ACL’s to an interface.
Passed my exam today the 12th with an 888. Had this sim on there, had to configure switch with first usable address. GW was 192.168.1.33, Building 1 address was .34. First usable would be .35
Anyone know were to get a free download of vce software to view dumps on exam collection. I only have trial version and they want 30 bucks for full version.
This question came on today’s exam. April 15.
Will this sim help with “Configure, verify and troubleshoot a switch with VLANs and interswitch communications”?
Had this same exact sim on today’s exam. Was not able to perform the verification checks at the end because I was running out of time but I am absoultley positive I answered this one 100%. I even did a “copy run start” at the end of it. Never the less the exam results came back with a disappointing 40%.
Any thoughts of where I went wrong?
Andile
Thanx to 9tut,passed my ICND 2 with a mark of 902, guys this is there with different Ip address.
Had this in my exam today
Had this today. Only difference besides the IP addresses was that I also had to add the switch at building_1 to the VTP domain as well, which is easy: Configure it as a client and it will automatically become the part of the first domain it finds.
Thanx 9tut.net, I took the ICND2 exam today and this sim was on it, defferent ip addresses but almost the same.
Hi, nice article. I really like it!
Failed ICND2 today with an 804… first time taking it… retaking it in a week… this was the sime to a ‘T’ with different names
HI Pat, hopefully you pass this time. you said —-this was the sime to a ‘T’ with different names
which simm are you talking about? can you remember how many simms were there? pls let me know i am booking the end of this month. thanks.
found this site THIS MORNING! 1 hour before my ICND2 exam!!! 818!! Oh Yeah, I’m going back to get it right, but will be following this site
Passed today with 958/100. This lab was on my test.
VTP Sim was on the test yesterday. If I had practiced typing the commands with packet tracer I would have passed 804/1000
Passed ICND-2 with 1000 today. This sim was there with some changes.
Thanks a lot for this great site. It helped me a lot to pass my CCNA-exam.
Really good work!
Greetings from Cologne/Germany!
Passed ICND 2 with a 916, THANKS 9TUT. I had the VTP and Frame Relay sims, but did NOT get the NAT sim thankfully. For the Frame sim, know the frame-relay map command and what the info means.
sim still valid Thanks 9tut passed today with 944. i had this question in the exam
Had this SIM yesterday and still valid. Passed with 916.
pass today with a score of 962,9tut thank,i will be using 9tut for my ccna security.
Pass today with 972. VTP, Frame Relay, 4 to 5 Drag & Drop. Exam covers all the topics.
Had this sim as well as the frame relay sim yesterday. This site is so helpful to passing the exam. Thanks so much for the good work.
Today (8/7/2013) I got the same lab on my ICND2. But IP address was changed. 192.168.53.128/27 subnet was used for management network. And ask to assign the first available IP address to building_2. 192.168.53.129 was the default gatway for building 1 and it’s interface vlan 1 had the 192.168.53.130. So I assign 192.168.53.131 for building_2 interface vlan 1. VTP was same. (I got 930) 😀 thank you 9tut.
Got this today, totaly blanked on the “show VTP status” command, i was actually able to do the rest of the sim though, since i didnt know the VTP domain i guessed it as “cisco”, probably why i failed, it did ask for 1st aval. maybe next time.. thanks 9tut
Ok, so how are you guys practicing the 9Tut sims??? Do you have a certain program you use and then import a file into them??
I’ve passedmy Icnd 2 today score of 930, VTP, Frame relay sim one has to use the command show running-config and to the see the password use show running-config. Security Drag and drop and I passed that with knowledge as its not on the website or on any dumps, overall this website is excellent, however keep in mind one must know his/her stuff….any questions just ask me people….Donating to this site shortly
Ricky123 was it a configure frame-relay, or was it a look at output? does it compare to the one on this website?
Woop woop, I passed!!!.. The vtp sim, hotspot were there.Make sure you know and understand access lists..
Abouttotest – it was a simulation but required the following command show relay-map on the main router via the console connection, then answer the relvant questions, one of the questions was around one of the routers requiring a password, for that question on the main router run show running-config and you will see which sub router requires which password….I hope thats clear for you…if not let me know…
I got this one but couldn’t ping the default gateway weird !.
Took the exam on Saturday Jul 20 did not pass i had the vtp sim, however i had an EIGRP Sim that consist of 7 routers, if anyone knows how to find the EIGRP Sim plesase post it. I also had a lot of RSTP questions. thanks again 9tut.
Why can’t we login on 9tut
it is asking cPanel login information. has anyone run into that problem?
Got this today but failed the exam. I put the gateway down as the ip of the other switch instead of using the same gateway. Basic errors cost you the exam
Passed the exam today with 972. Thank you 9tut for this helpful site. I have this SIM with different IP details, frame-relay and ospf hotspot, IPV6, RSTP, ACL..My exam composed most of these multiple questions.
Passed the exam today with 972. Thank you 9tut for this helpful site. I have this SIM with different IP details, frame-relay and ospf hotspot, .My exam is composed most of these multiple choices questions IPV6, RSTP, ACL.
I got this sim but the ip information provided was somewhat weird. Building 1 ip was 192.168.11.162/27. Ip default gateway was 192.168.11.161/27. I had to use the first usable ip on that subnet. If you subnet it out properly it falls within that 160-192 range. I assumed the first valid ip had to be 192.168.11.163/27. Hopefully it was right. Passed with 916
thanks for this..i passed the exam yesterday. Got confused a little, exam give me IP address 192.168.78.64, Gateway 192.168.78.63 and asking for first valid host for the 2nd switch ip address. I used 192.168.78.65, i think its correct i got 972.
Got this today, failed exam, pretty sure if got this sim right, as i went back into switch and checked that my config was saved, asked for last aval. i feel there were some new things on this test vs last time i took a month or so ago that were not here or in heavy mod. 3rd time’s a charm i guess.
@ anonymous.. I am think the question that comes to mind would be what was the Subnetmask.. give on the question you are inquiring about.
