problem?

Loop Guard
Unidirectional Link Detection (UDLD)

5 Which two statements are true about the RSTP negotiations between switches? (Choose two.)
UplinkFast must be configured on all designated switches.
BackboneFast must be configured on all root switches.
Switches must be connected by a point-to-point link.
All ports that are directly connected to end stations must be enabled as designated ports.
All ports connected to end stations must be configured as edge ports.

Refer to the exhibit. Given the information in the exhibit, which Cisco feature has been configured on
interface?
UDLD
Loop Guard

7 Which two benefits are provided by MST as it is used with RSTP? (Choose two.)
load balancing
multiple spanning trees with ISL trunking
rapid router redundancy
rapid ISL convergnece
subsecond reconvergence

What are three important steps in troubleshooting STP problems? (Choose three.)
8 Administratively disable multicasting and check to see if connectivity is restored.
Administratively create bridge loops and see what path the traffic takes.
Administratively disable ports that should be blocking and check to see if connectivity is restored.
Check each side of a point-to-point link for duplex mismatch.
Capture traffic on a saturated link and check whether identical frames are traversing multiple links
Adjust BPDU timers so that there is less overhead traffic on the switching fabric.

9 Which statement is true regarding a port configured with Loop Guard?

Once a BPDU is received on a Loop Guard port that is in a loop-inconsistent state, the port will t
to forwarding state automatically.
Once a BPDU is received on a Loop Guard port that is in a loop-inconsistent state, the port will t
to the appropriate state as determined by the normal function of Spanning Tree.
Once a BPDU is received on a Loop Guard port that is in a loop-inconsistent state, the port will b
disabled and the administrator must re-enable it manually.
Once a BPDU is received on a Loop Guard port that is in a loop-inconsistent state, the port will t
to blocking state.

1 Which three statements regarding RSTP edge ports are true? (Choose three.)
0 Edge ports can have another switch connected to them as long as the link is operating in full dup
Edge ports function similarly to UplinkFast ports.
Edge ports immediately transition to learning mode and then forwarding mode when enabled.
Edge ports never generate topology changes notifications (TCNs) when the port transitions to a d
enabled status.
Edge ports should never connect to another switch.
If an edge port receives a BPDU, it becomes a normal spanning-tree port.

 What is the cause of the problem?
STP PortFast feature has been disabled on port 2/1.
STP PortFast feature has been enabled on port 2/1.
The STP PortFast BPDU Guard feature has disabled port 2/1 on the switch.
PAgP has removed port 2/1 from the EtherChannel bundle.

1 Which interfaces should Loop Guard be enabled on?

2 root ports
designated ports
root port and alternate ports
ports configured with PortFast
root port and ports configured with PortFast

Refer to the exhibit. Switch A is the root switch. The port on Switch A that connects to Switch B is h
duplex. The port on Switch B that connects to Switch A is full duplex. What are three problems that
scenario could create? (Choose three.)
Switch A is performing carrier sense and collision detection, while Switch B is not.
Autonegotiation results in both Switch A and Switch B failing to perform carrier sense.
Switch B will become the root switch.
BPDUs may not successfully negotiate the link between Switch A and Switch B.
Switch B may unblock its port to Switch C, thereby creating a loop.
 Spanning-tree will keep re-calculating, consuming all the CPU normally used for traffic.

1 Which three statements regarding RSTP are true? (Choose three.)

7 An RSTP BPDU carries information about port roles and is sent to neighbor switches only.
RSTP elects a root bridge in exactly the same way as 802.1D.
RSTP is capable of reverting back to 802.1D while still maintaining the benefits of 802.1w.
RSTP is recognized as the IEEE 802.1w standard.
There are only three RSTP port states: discarding, listening, and forwarding.
UplinkFast and BackboneFast are compatible with RSTP.
