Multiple Choice

Only certain designated switch ports can be assigned to a VLAN.

VLAN membership is configured per switch port. You can assign any switch port to a VLAN by configuring it as an access port in a specific VLAN or as a trunk port that carries multiple VLANs. There isn’t a rule that only certain designated ports can belong to a VLAN. In practice, you might set most end-user ports as access ports for a given VLAN and use trunk ports to carry several VLANs between switches. Some ports may be reserved for management or left unused, but that doesn’t limit VLAN assignments to a subset of ports.
