A. Ping 10.11 1 - ping the core to attempt to verify connectivity Show trunk - to verify if the LAG interface was correctly added to the switch Show spanning tree - to check for spanning-tree blocked states Show port-access clients interface all - to view any port-access blocking states or failed authentication attempts on all interfaces Show run interface vlan20 - to double check the layer 3 svi configuration is correct for l_3 connectivity Show lldp neighors - to verify whether you are able to see the Core as an L2 neighbor to verify if the correct links are plugged in to the correct ports

B. diagnostic diag cable-diag 1/1/51 diag cable-diag 1/1/52 - to view diagnostic information for the physical link to get a status on any interruptions to Layer 1 connectivity, show ip route - to verify that the default gateway is present in the routing table show ip ospf - to check whether there is a layer 3 routing protocol enabled show ip dns - to view whether there is a valid dns source

C. Ping 10.1.1.1 - ping the core to attempt to verify connectivity show lacp agg - to verify which link aggregations are currently configured using which physical ports show lacp int - to verify the LACP status and whether any links are blocking in your topology show lldp neighors - to verify whether you are able to see the Core as an L2 neighbor to verify if the correct links are plugged in to the correct ports show run interface 1/1/51.1/1/52-to ensure the physical interfaces are no-shut and members of the lag show run interface lag 1 - to ensure the correct vlan trunking configuration is applied to the logical interface show run int vlan 20 - to ensure you have the L3 SVI no shut and configured in the correct subnet

D. Show run - to view the running configuration of the switch Show run | begin 20 "vlan 20" - to ensure VLAN 20 was correctly added to the database show run | begin 20 'interface vlan 20' - to view the L3 SVI configuration Show run interface 1/1/51.1/1/52 - to ensure the physical interfaces are no shut and were added as members of LAG 1 Show run int lag 1 - to verify LACP mode active was configured to eliminate LACP blocking states
