What is Step 2 in how a LAN switch forwards a frame?
Respuesta
add the source MAC address to the MAC address table, with incoming
interface and VLAN ID
determine the VLAN in which the frame should be forwarded
choose the designated port on each LAN segment
place each port in either forwarding or blocking state

Pregunta 4
Pregunta

a tie with the lowest bridge ID what is next to be compared?

Pregunta 5
Pregunta

called that switch’s _____________________________, in forwarding state.
Respuesta
root cost
root port (RP)
designated port (DP)

Pregunta 6

Pregunta 7
Pregunta
Timer values on the root switch includes the hello time, MaxAge time and
_______________ time.
Respuesta
forward delay
blocking
reevaluating
switch
Pregunta 8
Pregunta
When a port that formerly blocked needs to transition to forwarding, the switch
first puts the port through two intermediate interface states. (choose the
correct state for each explanation)
A. Like the blocking state, the interface does not forward frames. The switch
removes old stale (unused) MAC table entries for which no frames are
received from each MAC address during this period. These stale MAC tab le
entries could be the cause of the temporary loops.
B. Interfaces in this state still do not forward frames, but the switch begins to
learn the MAC address of frames received on the interface.
Respuesta
A - Learning
A - Listening
B - Learning
B - Listening
Pregunta 9
Pregunta
The best way to lower STP’s convergence time is to avoid convergence all
together. ___________________________ provides a way to prevent STP
convergence from being needed when only a single port or cable failure
occurs.
Respuesta
PortFast
EtherChannel
Rerouting
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)
Pregunta 10
Pregunta
The IEEE cost of 100 is what Ethernet speed?
Respuesta
10 Mbps
100 Mbps
1 Gbps
10 Gbps
Pregunta 11
Pregunta
What is Step 3 in the steady-state operation when nothing is currently changing
in the STP topology?
Respuesta
the nonroot switches receive the hello on their root parts
the interface is on the root switch, so it becomes the DP on that link
Steps 1 and 2 repeat until something changes
the root cost of 0, out all its working interfaces (those in forwarding state)
