200-301 V1 Ch10: RSTP and EtherChannel

Both layer 2 EtherChannel and layer 3 EtherChannel use the same set of commands to create the channel. You have the option to use static configuration or one of two dynamic protocols to negotiate [...]

EtherChannel takes a big step towards improving STP. With two links between switches, but without using EtherChannel, each instance of STP could use only one of the links blocking the other link. [...]

LAN switches use many default settings that work without you having to do anything, and oftentimes, you can leave those default settings as-is. However, with Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), and its [...]

Of all #CCNA topics in the ICND2 half of CCNA, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) looms with more intimidation than most. As for Mastering STP verification, the process begins with mastering the show [...]

To analyze Spanning Tree for #CCNA, you need to think about the root switch, then the root ports on the non-root switches, and then designated ports. That analysis usually begins with the show [...]

Today’s question once again gets specific about RSTP logic instead of STP. Look back to the original question first before looking at this answer. As usual, the answer post gives the answers, and [...]

This will be the last one of these STP vs. RSTP questions for a while, unless I hear a clamoring for more! This next question follows the same format. One secondary goal of giving you several [...]

Today’s question and answers actually exercise more STP logic than RSTP, with the RSTP materials basically reviewing terms and features. Look back to the original question first before looking at [...]

This post continues the #CCNA exam practice questions comparing STP and RSTP. Can you look at a switch design, and with confidence, describe what RSTP will do differently than STP? The questions [...]
