Short Answer

Q1 What is STP?

R1 The Spanning Tree Protocol is a network protocol that builds a loop-free logical

Q2 What are BPDUs?

Bridge Protocol Data Units are frames that contain information about the spanning tree protocol, is a data mes
R2 network topologies.

Q3 How do you select the root bridge and why?

The root bridge is selected by manually configuring its bridge priority to a low value. 32768 is the default value o
R3 tree have the same bridge priority, the switch with the lowest MAC address

Q4 What is the Root ID field for in a BPDU header?

R4 ROOT ID indicates the root bridge by listing its 2-byte priority followed by

Q5 What are the main differences between STP and RSTP in terms of time conve

The main difference between Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol and Spanning Tree Protocol ) is that Rapid Spanning
ports states Listening, Blocking, and Disabled are same (these states do not forward Ethernet frames and they do
R5 them all into a new called Discarding state. Learning and forwarding ports re

Q7 What are the port states for STP?

R7 • Blocking, Listening, Learning, Forwarding, Disable

Q8 What are the port roles for STP?

 Root, designated, alternate, backup, and disabled are the port roles for STP, Root and designated are still the roles
R8 is forwarding traffic. The role of Alt is to block the tr

Q9 What are the port roles for RSTP?

R9 Root, designated, alternate, backup, and disabled are the port

Q10 What are the port states for RSTP?

R10 RSTP defines three port states: discarding, learning, and f

Q11 What is the default priority value of a bridge for STP on default

The default priority is 32768, and additional roots are set below this number. STP increments priority by 4096, so
R11 higher the priority.

value of a bridge for STP on default configuration?

STP increments priority by 4096, so the next priority is 4096 below 32768. The lower the number, the
higher the priority.
