In a bridged environment, which protocol provides subsecond reconvergence of blocked bridging loops

after the failure of one of the uplinks?

IEEE 802.1w (RSTP)

Which three statements regarding RSTP are true? (Choose three.)

-An RSTP BPDU carries information about port roles and is sent to neighbor switches only.
-RSTP elects a root bridge in exactly the same way as 802.1D.
-RSTP is recognized as the IEEE 802.1w standard

Which statement is true about the Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP)?

-The designated port will be on the switch with the best path to the root switch.

Which statement is true about UDLD?

-It allows a switch to detect a unidirectional link and shut down the affected interface

-Switch A is performing carrier sense and collision detection, while Switch B is not.
-BPDUs may not successfully negotiate the link between Switch A and Switch B.
-Switch B may unblock its port to Switch C, thereby creating a loop.

Which two statements are true about the RSTP negotiations between switches? (Choose two.)
-Switches must be connected by a point-to-point link.
-All ports connected to end stations must be configured as edge ports.

Which two statements about designing an STP topology are true? (Choose two.)
-Assuming that all switches have the same default priority value, the STP root will be the switch with the lowest MAC address.
-Switches that provide access ports for server farms or the Internet gateway should be configured with the lowest bridge priority
numerical value.

users connected to Switch D have reported symptoms of high latency and poor throughput when connecting to Server A. The network
administrator's Layer 2 mapping tool reveals that traffic from Switch D to Server A uses a suboptimal path through Switch C. What may
be causing this suboptimal path to be chosen?

-Switch C is configured as the STP root

On a switch that has STP enabled, which command can be used to detect a unidirectional link before a forwarding loop is created?
udld enable on both sides of the link

--The UDLD protocol shut down port 3/8 on SW_C to prevent a forwarding loop.
The network administrator noticed this console message coming from switch SW_C:
UDLD-3-DISABLE: Unidirectional link detected on port 3/8. Port disabled
 Switch SW_A is the root switch. Switch SW_B is the designated switch for the
SW_B to SW_C link. Because of unidirectional link failure on the link between SW_B and SW_C, SW_C is not receiving BPDUs from
SW_B. What symptoms would be associated with the failure of the link?

- The STP blocking port on SW_C will transition to the forwarding state

Which protocol should an administrator recommend to manage bridged links when the customer requires a fully redundant network
that can utilize load balancing technologies and reconverge on link failures in less than a second?

- IEEE 802.1s (MST

Which protocol is a Cisco-proprietary STP mode that allows CST and PVST to exist on the same network?

- Cisco PVST+

Which statement is true about Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) implementations?

- MST provides a single instance of spanning tree per multiple VLANs

Which two statements are true regarding the operation of RSTP? (Choose two.)

- An alternate port is a switch port that offers another path toward the root bridge
- A switch port participating in the RSTP topology can be defined as a root port, designated port, alternate
port, backup port, or disabled port.

What three fields are included in a BPDU? (Choose three.)

- Bridge ID
- Port ID
- Cost of Path

Which two STP features will protect the network against forwarding loops? (Choose two.)

- Loop Guard
- Unidirectional Link Detection

Which three statements regarding a routed switch interface are true? (Choose three.)

- A routed switchport is created by configuring a layer 2 port with “no switchport’and assigning IP address
- A routed switchport provides an interface that serves as default gateway to a router
- A routed switchport serves as a default gateway for devices out that switch port

Which two statements are true about flooding in a switch? (Choose two.)

- Flooding indicates that content in CAM of switch is corrupt

- Flooding may cause STP topology change notification – TC
