Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) automatically reconfigures switch or bridge ports when it detects a change in the network topology, such as the addition or removal of a switch or a link failure. This reconfiguration process involves transitioning ports through various states (like listening and learning) to ensure that loops are avoided while maintaining network connectivity. Additionally, STP can reconfigure ports when a designated port becomes unavailable or when a root bridge election occurs. The protocol is designed to maintain a loop-free topology dynamically.

What's the different between an Ethernet bridge and a switch?
The difference between an ethernet bridge and a switch is that the bridge only has two ports, while the switch has multiple ports. When there is a lot of traffic going through the ports, the bridge traffic may get tied up or crash often because there are only 2 ports for information to travel back and forth.
Whart are the switch and bridge port characteristic of a layer two spaming-tree network that is fullycoverged?
a. All switch and bridge ports are in the forwarding state. b. All lkswitch and bridge ports are in the stand by state. c. All switch and bridge parts are assigned as either root or designed. d. All switch and bridge ports are in either the forwarding or blocking state. e. All switch and bridge are either blocking or looping.
What is root switch in spanning tree protocol?
Based on the location of the root bridge, theother switches determine which of their ports has the lowest path cost to the root bridge. These ports are called root ports, and each switch (other than the current root bridge) must have one.
Which three statements are correct concerning the default configuration of a new switch?
It is configured in VTP server mode. STP is automatically enabled. All switch ports are assigned to VLAN1.
What is designated port in spanning tree protocol?
A designated port is the ports that goes from the root bridge switch to the edge of the network, so there is always a path from the root bridge to the other end. In contrast to root ports, which goes to the root bridge, instead of away from it. All ports that isn't root ports or designated ports are blocked.
How many ports does a bridge have?
The bridges have only two ports each.
What is the correct order in which the STP components are chosen?
root bridge, root ports, designated ports, nondesignated ports
How does an Ethernet switch forward a broadcast frame?
it s connected by the bridge network connection
What is the max number of ports on a switch?
The minimum number of ports on most brands of switches is four. While there is no industry rule that limits the number of ports on a single switch, practical application has shown that a minimum of four ports is about right.
What are cisco switch roles?
To switch frames between ports.
Can i connect a switch that function as a router to another router for local area network?
A switch cannot function as a router. But you can plug a switch in to one of the ports on the router if you need additional ports.
What is the LAN bridges and internet switches?
Bridges and switches operate at the same OSI layer - layer 2. That means they switch packets based on the destination MAC address. A switch is sometimes called a multi-port bridge.A bridge has 2 ports, whereas a switch can have many more than that.
