What is the purpose of a Root Guard?
- It prevents a configured port from becoming a root port.
2. It prevents a downstream switch(Mo’s configured or rogue) from becoming a root bridge in a topology.
Which command configures root guard on a switch interface?
Spanning-tree guard root.
What are the benefits of STP Portfast?
- The STP portfast feature disables TCN generation for access ports.
