b. If the link partner defaults to ISL trunking for negotiated ports.
c. If the link partner is configured for trunking in the On mode.
d. The interface cannot negotiate trunking because it is configured statically for 802.1Q trunking.
Q9. Which statement is true for the configuration of the interface in Example 2-27?
a. The interface is a member of VLAN 5 and may negotiate to a trunk port.
b. The interface may negotiate to an ISL trunk with a Native VLAN of 5.
c. The interface may negotiate to an 802.1Q trunk and operate with a Native VLAN of 1.
d. The interface will not negotiate to a trunk port because it is configured in access VLAN 5.
