What is root switch in spanning tree protocol?
Based on the location of the root bridge, theother switches determine which of their ports has the lowest path cost to the root bridge. These ports are called root ports, and each switch (other than the current root bridge) must have one.
In STP what device acts as a guide to setting the best paths between switches?
In STP, first a central switch (or bridge, as it it called in STP) is selected - the "root bridge". All other switches calculate the shortest path to this root bridge.
Which spanning-tree command setting could be assigned to force a catalyst switch to become and remain the root bridge?
root primary
Whart are the switch and bridge port characteristic of a layer two spaming-tree network that is fullycoverged?
a. All switch and bridge ports are in the forwarding state. b. All lkswitch and bridge ports are in the stand by state. c. All switch and bridge parts are assigned as either root or designed. d. All switch and bridge ports are in either the forwarding or blocking state. e. All switch and bridge are either blocking or looping.
How CAN a network administrator influence which stp switch becomes the root bridge?
4. Set the switch priority to a smaller value than that of the other switches in the network.
What can an administrator do to ensure that a specific switch will win a root election if all switches are set to their default?
Set the bridge priority to 16384
When was Root Covered Bridge created?
Root Covered Bridge was created in 1878.
When was Bill Root - bridge - born?
Bill Root - bridge - was born in 1923.
When did Bill Root - bridge - die?
Bill Root - bridge - died in 2002.
What is designated port in spanning tree protocol?
A designated port is the ports that goes from the root bridge switch to the edge of the network, so there is always a path from the root bridge to the other end. In contrast to root ports, which goes to the root bridge, instead of away from it. All ports that isn't root ports or designated ports are blocked.
What can an administrator do to ensure that a specific switch will win a root election if all switches are set to their default configurations?
Set the bridge priority to 16384.
Which value determines if a switch becomes the central point of reference in the spanning tree topology?
Spanning Tree Election CriteriaSpanning Tree builds paths out from a central point along the fastest available links. It selects path according to the following criteria:1. Lowest root bridge ID (BID)2. Lowest path cost to the root3. Lowest sender bridge ID4. Lowest sender port ID (PID)Therefore, the answer to your question is Lower Bridge ID
