Which command will configure a switch port to use the IEEE standard method of inserting VLAN membership information into Ethernet frames?
Switch(config)# switchport trunk encapsulation isl
Switch(config)# switchport trunk encapsulation ietf
Switch(config)# switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
Switch(config-if)# switchport trunk encapsulation isl
Switch(config-if)# switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
Answer: Option
Explanation:
If you are on a 2950 switch, then the interface command is just switchport mode trunk, since the 2950 can only run the IEEE 802.1Q version. However, a 3550 can run both ISL and 802.1Q, so you must use the encapsulation command. The argument to choose 802.1Q for a trunking protocol is dot1q.
