STP Questions 4
Question 1
Explanation
The port-priority of all STP ports is 128 so we need to use a lower value (higher priority) so that this port can become root bridge. But this answer is not totally correct (it only the best choice in this question) as the increment of port priority is 32, which means only values 0, 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, and 224 are acceptable. All other values are rejected.
Question 2
Explanation
When Spanning Tree Protocol learns about the network it looks at a Port-Channel interface as a single interface so it will use the port channel for forwarding.
Question 3
Question 4
Explanation
Change to “lower value” means “higher priority” so the secondary link would be preferred over primary link.
Question 5
Question 6
Question 7
Question 8
Question 9
Explanation
There are no “no spanning-tree pvst” or “no spanning-tree mst” commands. They should be “no spanning-tree mode pvst” or “no spanning-tree mode mst” so answer A is the best option left.
Q5:
D). “DSW1(config)#spanning-tree vlan 10 priority root” does not exist. The correct answer should be “spanning-tree vlan 10 root primary”.
On Q1, I thought STP ports could only have a priority of multiples of 4096.
