- Q1Which network design feature requires Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) to ensure correct network operation?link-state dynamic routing that provides redundant routesstatic default routesredundant links between Layer 2 switchesimplementing VLANs to contain broadcasts45s
- Q2Which network design feature requires Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) to ensure correct network operation?static default routeslink-state dynamic routing that provides redundant routesremoving single points of failure with multiple Layer 2 switchesimplementing VLANs to contain broadcasts60s
- Q3What is the outcome of a Layer 2 broadcast storm?CSMA/CD will cause each host to continue transmitting frames.Routers will take over the forwarding of frames as switches become congested.ARP broadcast requests are returned to the transmitting host.New traffic is discarded by the switch because it is unable to be processed.60s
- Q4What is the purpose of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)?allows Cisco devices to exchange routing table updatescreates smaller broadcast domainsprevents routing loops on a routerprevents Layer 2 loops45s
- Q5What is a characteristic of a Layer 2 loop?Routers continually forward packets to other routers.Broadcast frames are forwarded back to the sending switch.A switch is continually forwarding the same unicast frame.The Time-to-Live attribute of a frame is set to infinity.45s
- Q6What additional information is contained in the 12-bit extended system ID of a BPDU?MAC Addressport IDVLAN IDIP address45s
- Q7Which components can be combined with 2 others to form a bridge ID?costIP addressextended system IDport ID45s
- Q8Which components can be combined with 2 others to form a bridge ID?costMAC addressIP addressport ID45s
- Q9Which components can be combined with 2 others to form a bridge ID?costbridge priorityport IDIP address45s
- Q10Refer to the exhibit. Which switch will be elected the root bridge?SW3 will become the root bridge.SW4 will become the root bridge.SW1 will become the root bridge.SW2 will become the root bridge.120s
- Q11Which switch will place a port in blocking mode?SW4 will become the root bridge.SW4 will get a port blocked.SW2 will get a port blocked.SW1 will become the root bridge.120s
- Q12Which trunk link will not forward any traffic after the root bridge election process is complete?Trunk1Trunk3Trunk4Trunk2120s
- Q13Which protocol provides up to 16 instances of RSTP, combines many VLANs with the same physical and logical topology into a common RSTP instance, and provides support for PortFast, BPDU guard, BPDU filter, root guard, and loop guard?MSTSTPPVST+Rapid PVST+120s
- Q14Which Cisco switch feature ensures that configured switch edge ports do not cause Layer 2 loops if a port is mistakenly connected to another switch?BPDU guardextended system IDPortFastPVST+60s
- Q15Which is a type of spanning tree protocol can cause suboptimal traffic flows because it assume only one spanning-tree instance for the entire bridged network?Rapid PVST+STPPVST+MSTP60s
