Which algorithm is used to create a loop free switched topology?
| |
Spanning Tree | |
Shortest Path First | |
Dykstra | |
Rapid Tree | |
Bellman-Ford |
What elements will exist in a converged network with one spanning
tree? (Choose two.) | |
one root bridge per network | |
all non-designated ports forwarding | |
one root port per non-root bridge | |
multiple designated ports per segment | |
one designated port per network |
Which of the following are problems that can occur in redundantly
switched networks? (Choose three.) | |
broadcast storms | |
corrupted ARP tables | |
duplicate MAC addresses | |
inaccurate routing tables | |
multiple copies of Ethernet frames | |
MAC address table instability |
|
|
|
How is the information contained in BPDUs used by switches?
(Choose two.) | |
to prevent loops by sharing bridging tables between connected switches | |
to set the duplex mode of a redundant link | |
to determine the shortest path to the root bridge | |
to determine which ports will forward frames as part of the spanning tree | |
to activate looped paths throughout the network |
|
What happens when there is a topology change on a network that
utilizes STP ? (Choose two.) | |
User traffic is disrupted until recalculation is complete. | |
The switch recomputes the Spanning Tree topology after the network converges. | |
All ports are placed in learning state until convergence has occurred. | |
A delay of up to 50 seconds is incurred for convergence of the new Spanning Tree topology. | |
User data is forwarded while BPDUs are exchanged to recompute the topology |
Which of the following describe the BIDs used in a spanning tree
topology? (Choose two.) | |
They are sent out by the root bridge only after the inferior BPDUs are sent. | |
They consist of a bridge priority and MAC address. | |
Only the root bridge will send out a BID. | |
They are used by the switches in a spanning tree topology to elect the root bridge. | |
The switch with the fastest processor will have the lowest BID. |
How can a network administrator influence which STP switch becomes
the root bridge? | |
Configure the switch as the static root bridge. | |
Change the BPDU to a higher value than that of the other switches in the network. | |
Change the BPDU to a lower value than that of the other switches in the network. | |
Set the switch priority to a smaller value than that of the other switches in the network. | |
Set the switch priority to a higher value than that of the other switches in the network |
What characteristic of Ethernet makes a redundantly switched
network prone to loops? | |
Routers are only able to prevent loops at Layer 3, while Ethernet exists at Layer 2. | |
The Ethernet protocol has no TTL mechanism. | |
Switches lack the sophisticated software required to prevent loops. | |
Looping of frames is a reliability mechanism built in to the Ethernet protocol |
|
Following a link failure, when does Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
allow point-to-point and edge type links to go to the forwarding state?
| |
in 15 seconds | |
never | |
immediately | |
in 30 seconds | |
after 90 seconds |
How much time does it take for a switch port to go from the
blocking state to the forwarding state? | |
2 seconds | |
15 seconds | |
20 seconds | |
50 seconds |
|
How does a switch forward a multicast frame through the network?
| |
It floods it to all ports as a broadcast. | |
It is forwarded only to ports that contain the destination address. | |
It is sent to the port that contains the first destination address. | |
It floods it to all ports except the one it was received on. | |
It is dropped and not sent to any address. |
What is meant by "five nines" network uptime? | |
A network should be available until 9:00 pm five days of the week. | |
A network should be functioning 99.999% of the time. | |
There should be five nine-port uplinks for each backbone segment. | |
Five percent of network expenditures should address 99% of user requirements. | |
Nothing short of 100% network uptime is acceptable in modern networks |
What features of the Spanning-Tree Protocol contribute to the time
it takes for a switched network to converge after a topology change occurs?
(Choose three.) | |
the max-age timer | |
the listening forward delay | |
the spanning-tree hold down timer | |
the learning forward delay | |
the spanning-tree path cost | |
the blocking delay |
