802.1D
Cisco switches use a version of STP called […], which runs a separate spanning tree instance in each VLAN.
PVST (Per-Vlan Spanning Tree)
Do all switches run STP by default?
Yes
How many root bridges are elected in STP?
One

STP Root ports are in a […] state.
forwarding
STP: All ports on the root bridge are […] ports (forwarding state)
designated
STP: The default bridge priority is […] (not including Extended System ID)
32768
STP: The switch with the lowest […] becomes the root bridge.
Bridge ID
STP: There must be one […] port per collision domain.
designated
STP: There must be one designated port per […].
collision domain
STP: When a switch is powered on, it assumes the role of […] bridge.
