Answer the following questions based on the following graphic.

CCNA Exercise Lab 2 Image 1

1. Which is the root bridge?

Ans – Bridge ID-1900A is the root bridge. A root bridge is a Switch which is located at the top of the network and connecting to other switches.

2. What are the designated ports?

Ans – A designated port is the port on a segment which has the lease cost to reach to the switch. In this design port0 on switch 1900A is the designated port and port 1 on either switch 1900B, 1900C could be a designated port. A switch can have multiple designated ports but has only one ‘root port’.

3. What are the non-designated ports?

Ans – A designated port is called a non-designated port if it has no root port. Non-designated ports have no role to play and are put in blocking state.

4. Which ports are blocking?

Ans – The port-1 on Switch 1900B and 1900C, one of the port is in blocking state or non-designated,

    • Bridges can only have one spanning-tree instance per
    • Switches can have many different spanning-tree instances per switch.
    • Bridges can have many spanning-tree instances per
    • Switches can only have one spanning-tree instance per
    • Ans- A, B
  12. What is the difference between a bridge and a layer-2 switch? (Choose all that )
    • Switches are software
    • Bridges are hardware
    • Switches are hardware
    • Bridges are software
    • Ans- C, D
  13. What does a switch do when a frame is received on an interface and the destination hardware address is unknown or not in the filter table?
    • Forwards the switch to the first available link
    • Drops the frame
    • Floods the network with the frame looking for the device
    • Sends back a message to the originating station asking for a name resolution
    • Ans- C
  14. Which LAN switch type waits for the collision window to pass before looking up the destination hardware address in the MAC filter table and forwarding the frame?
    • Cut-through
    • Store and forward
    • Fragment Check
    • Fragment Free
    • Ans- D
  15. What is the default LAN switch type on a 1900 switch?
    1. Cut-through
    2. Store and forward
    3. FragmentCheck
    4. FragmentFree
    5. Ans- D
  16. How is the bridge ID of a switch communicated to neighboring switches?
    • IP Routing
    • STP
    • During the four STP states of a switch
    • Bridge Protocol Data Units
    • Broadcasts during convergence times
    • Ans- D ( BPDUs )
  17. How is the root port on a switch determined?
    • The switch determines the highest cost of a link to the root
    • The switch determines the lowest cost of a link to the root
    • The fastest BPDU transfer rate is determined by sending and receiving BPDUs between switches, and that interface becomes the root
    • The root bridge will broadcast the bridge ID, and the receiving bridge will determine what interface this broadcast was received on and make this interface the root
    • Ans - B

    • 10
    • 1
    • One for each switch
    • 20
