Q1Domain Verified
In the context of STP, which of the following statements most accurately describes the role of the Root Bridge election process in ensuring network stability and preventing loops?
The Root Bridge election is a dynamic process that prioritizes switches with the highest MAC addresses to ensure rapid convergence.
The Root Bridge election relies on a predetermined priority value, and in case of ties, the switch with the lowest Bridge ID (combining priority and MAC address) becomes the Root Bridge, establishing a single, stable forwarding path.
The Root Bridge election is primarily concerned with selecting the switch with the most active ports to optimize traffic flow.
The Root Bridge election is a manual configuration process initiated by network administrators to guarantee predictable network topology.
Q2Domain Verified
When a network experiences a topology change that requires recalculating the Spanning Tree, what is the primary mechanism STP uses to inform downstream switches about this change and prevent temporary forwarding of frames that could lead to loops?
Switches detecting a topology change transmit Topology Change Notification (TCN) BPDUs, which are propagated towards the Root Bridge, triggering a specific TCN BPDU process that limits the scope of port reconfigurations.
BPDU (Bridge Protocol Data Unit) packets are flooded throughout the network, causing all switches to immediately re-evaluate their port states.
Root Bridge sends a broadcast message indicating a topology change, prompting all other switches to discard their current spanning tree and recalculate.
All non-Root Bridge switches enter a listening state and wait for a confirmation signal from the Root Bridge before resuming normal operation.
Q3Domain Verified
Consider a scenario where two STP switches have identical Bridge Priorities. How does STP resolve this tie to determine which switch becomes the Root Bridge?
The switch with the most recently configured ports will be elected as the Root Bridge.
The switch with the higher port count will be elected as the Root Bridge.
The switch that was powered on first will be elected as the Root Bridge.
The switch with the numerically lower MAC address will be elected as the Root Bridge.
