Q:

If you want to disable STP on a port connected to a server, which command would you use?

A) disable spanning-tree B) spanning-tree off
C) spanning-tree security D) spanning-tree portfast
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) spanning-tree portfast

Explanation:

If you have a server or other devices connected into your switch that you're totally sure won't create a switching loop if STP is disabled, you can use something called portfast on these ports. Using it means the port won't spend the usual 50 seconds to come up while STP is converging.

Q:

You want to run the new 802.1w on your switches. which of the following would enable this protocol?

A) Switch (config) # Spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst B) Switch#spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst
C) Switch (config)#spanning-tree mode 802.1w D) Switch#spanning-tree mode 802.1w
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Switch (config) # Spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst

Explanation:

802.1w is the also called Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol. It is not enabled by default on Cisco switches, but it is a better STP to run since it has all the fixes that the Cisco extensions provide with 802.1d

Q:

What is the purpose of Spanning Tree Protocol in a switched LAN?

A) To provide a mechanism for network monitoring is switched environments B) To prevent routing loops in network with redundant paths
C) To prevent switching loops in networks with redundant switched paths D) To manage the VLAN database across multiple switches
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) To prevent switching loops in networks with redundant switched paths

Explanation:

The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) was designed to stop layer 2 loops. All Cisco switches have the STP on by default.

Q:

How should a router that is being used in a Frame Relay  network be configured to keep split horizon issues from preventing routing updates

A) Configure a seperate subinterface for each PVC with a unique DLCI and subnet assigned to the subinterface B) Combine multiple Frame Relay circuits as a point-to-point line to support multicast and broadcast traffic
C) Configure many subinterfaces in the same subnet D) Configure a single subinterface to establish multiple PVC connections to multiple remote router interfaces.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Configure a seperate subinterface for each PVC with a unique DLCI and subnet assigned to the subinterface

Explanation:

If you have a serial port configured with multiple DLCIs connected to multiple remote sites, split horizon rules stop route updates received on an interface from being sent out the same interface. By creating subinterfaces for each PVC, you can avoid the split horizon issues when using Frame Relay.
