B. It is running RSTP while the elected root bridge is running 802.1d spanning tree.
C. It has a higher MAC address than the elected root bridge.
D. It has a higher bridge ID than the elected root bridge.

When a switch receives a BPDU, it first compares Switch priority, the lowest priority number wins the root election. In the event of a tie. it compares the MAC address, the smaller one wins. The Switch has a 32769 priority, which is greater than 20481, so this Switch will not elect the root bridge. Another Switch has a lower priority, and won the election for VLAN 1.

A. The switch with the lowest MAC address.
B. The switch with the highest MAC address.
C. The switch witch the highest IP address.
D. The switch with the lowest IP address.

Each switch in a network will have a Bridge ID Priority value. This BID is a combination of a priority value and the MAC address, with the priority value listed first. The lowest BID will win the election process. If the switch priority is left at the default, the MAC address is the deciding factor in the root bridge election.

VLAN Trunk Protocol (VTP) reduces administration in a switched network. When you configure a new VLAN on one VTP server, the VLAN is distributed through all switches in the domain. This reduces the need to configure the same VLAN everywhere. VTP is a Cisco-proprietary protocol that is available on most of the Cisco Catalyst series products.

This question is to check the spanning tree election problem. Find the root bridge. which can be accomplished by comparing the bridge ID, the smallest will be selected. Bridge-id = bridge priority + MAC address. The three switches in the figure all have the default priority, so we should compare the MAC address, it is easy to find that SwitchB is the root bridge. Find the root port on the non-root bridge. which can be completed through comparing root path cost. The smallest will be selected as the root port. Next, find the Designated Port by comparing the path cost. If the costs happen to be the same. then compare the BID. The smallest will be selected. Each link has a DP. Based on the exhibit above. we can find DP on each link. The DP on the link between SwitchA and SwitchC is SwitchA’Fa0/ 1, because it has the smallest MAC address.

Q

Which two of these are characteristics of the 802.1Q protocol? (Choose two).
A. It is a layer 2 messaging protocol which maintains vlan configurations across network.
B. It includes an 8-bit field which specifies the priority of a frame.
C. It is used exclusively for tagging vlan frames and does not address network reconvergence following switched network topology changes.
D. It modifies the 802.3 frame header, and thus requires that the FCS be recomputed.
E. It is a trunking protocol capable of carrying untagged frames.

For security reasons, information about RTA, including platform and IP addresses, should not be accessible from the Internet. This information should, however, be accessible to devices on the internal networks of RTA. Which command or series of commands will accomplish these objectives?

A. RTA( config)# no cdp run
B. RTA( config)# no cdp enable
C. RTA( config)# interface s0/ 0 RTA( config-if)# no cdp run

Q

Refer to the exhibit.
If CDP is enabled on all devices and interfaces, which devices will appear in the output of a show cdp neighbors command issued from R2?
A Cisco device enabled with CDP sends out periodic interface updates to a multicast address in order to make itself known to neighbors. Since it is a layer two protocol, these packets are not routed. The devices detected would be immediately connected neighbors.
A. R2 and R3
B. R1 and R3
C. R3 and S2
D. R1, S1, S2, and R3
E. R1, S1, S2, R3, and S3

Q

Refer to the exhibit.
A problem with network connectivity has been observed. It is suspected that the cable connected to switch port Fa0/ 9 on Switch1 is disconnected. What would be an effect of this cable being disconnected?
A. Host B would not be able to access the server in VLAN9 until the cable is reconnected.
B. Communication between VLAN3 and the other VLANs would be disabled.
C. The transfer of files from Host B to the server in VLAN9 would be significantly slower.
D. For less than a minute, Host B would not be able to access the server in VLAN9. Then normal network function would resume.
