Multiple choice

What distinguishes traditional routing from router-on-a-stick?

  1. Traditional routing is only able to use a single switch interface. Router-on-a-stick can use multiple switch interfaces.

  2. Traditional routing requires a routing protocol. Router-on-a-stick only needs to route directly connected networks.

  3. Traditional routing uses one port per logical network. Router-on-a-stick uses subinterfaces to connect multiple logical networks to a single router port.

  4. Traditional routing uses multiple paths to the router and therefore requires STP. Router-on-a-stick does not provide multiple connections and therefore eliminates the need for STP.

C Correct answer
Explanation

Traditional inter-VLAN routing requires a physical router interface connected to a separate switch port for each VLAN. In contrast, router-on-a-stick uses a single physical router port configured with multiple logical subinterfaces, each corresponding to a different VLAN, connected to a trunk port on the switch.
