As with all the blog posts in this series, this post helps you with working through how to perform the examples in the CCNA 200-301 Cert Guides (Volumes 1 and 2) using Cisco’s Packet Tracer tool. However, this next chapter
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 spanning-tree command. This latest sample question focuses on
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 spanning-tree command – a command that packs
This post answers the Spanning Tree question linked here. If you want to noodle the question a little longer, check out the answer to a similar question that showed three switches in a triangle. To solve this question, just use the
Here’s another Spanning Tree question, one that creates a topology in which one switch does not have a direct link to the root. What happens in this case? Note that as with this similar question, this question is meant for
This post answers the Spanning Tree question linked here. The short answer is that there are lots of right answers! What could impact the choice of root port in a triangle topology? All port costs except the root switch’s ports’
Here’s a new CCNA-level question to consider, this time on Spanning Tree Protocol. Before diving in, be warned, it’s meant for study prep, not for assessment. That is, I’m not attempting to make this question exactly like an exam question,
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 the reasons why each answer is either
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 questions (with 24 different
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 answer. As usual, the answer post gives the answers,
