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:

If a switch receives a frame and the source MAC address is not in the MAC address table but the destination address is, what will the switch do with the frame?

A) Discard it and send an error message back to the originating host B) Flood the network with the frame
C) Add the source addres and port to the MAC address table and forward the frame out the destination port D) Add the destination to the MAC address table and then forward the frame
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Add the source addres and port to the MAC address table and forward the frame out the destination port

Explanation:

Since the source MAC address is not in the MAC address table, the switch will add the source address and the port it is connected to into the MAC address table and then forward the frame to the outgoing port.

Q:

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?

A) Forwards the switch to the first available link B) Drops the frame
C) Floods the network with the frame looking for the device D) Sends back a message to the originating station asking for a name resolution
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Floods the network with the frame looking for the device
