CCNA 3 Chapter 2 v5.0 Exam Answers 2015 (100%)

1. Which two network design features require Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) to
ensure correct network operation? (Choose two.)

o static default routes

o implementing VLANs to contain broadcasts
o redundant links between Layer 2 switches
o link-state dynamic routing that provides redundant routes
o removing single points of failure with multiple Layer 2 switches

2. What is a characteristic of a Layer 2 loop?

o Broadcast frames are forwarded back to the sending switch.

o The Time-to-Live attribute of a frame is set to infinity.
o Routers continually forward packets to other routers.
o A switch is continually forwarding the same unicast frame.

3. What is the outcome of a Layer 2 broadcast storm?

o Routers will take over the forwarding of frames as switches become congested.
o New traffic is discarded by the switch because it is unable to be processed.
o CSMA/CD will cause each host to continue transmitting frames.
o ARP broadcast requests are returned to the transmitting host.

4. What additional information is contained in the 12-bit extended system ID of a

BPDU?

o MAC address
o VLAN ID
o IP address
o port ID

5. Which three components are combined to form a bridge ID?

o port ID
o IP address
o extended system ID
o MAC address
o bridge priority
o cost

6. Which STP priority configuration would ensure that a switch would always be
the root switch?

o spanning-tree vlan 10 priority 0

o spanning-tree vlan 10 priority 61440
o spanning-tree vlan 10 root primary
o spanning-tree vlan 10 priority 4096

7. Which protocol provides up to 16 instances of RSTP, combines many VLANs

with the same physical and logical topology into a common RSTP instance,
and provides support for PortFast, BPDU guard, BPDU filter, root guard, and
loop guard?

o STP
o Rapid PVST+
o PVST+
o MST

8. Which two types of spanning tree protocols can cause suboptimal traffic flows
because they assume only one spanning-tree instance for the entire bridged
network? (Choose two.)

o STP
o Rapid PVST+
o PVST+
o MSTP
o RSTP

9. What is an advantage of PVST+?

o PVST+ requires fewer CPU cycles for all the switches in the network.
o PVST+ reduces bandwidth consumption compared to traditional implementations of
STP that use CST.
o PVST+ optimizes performance on the network through autoselection of the root
bridge.
o PVST+ optimizes performance on the network through load sharing.

10. In which two port states does a switch learn MAC addresses and process
BPDUs in a PVST network? (Choose two.)

o blocking
o disabled
o forwarding
o learning
o listening

11. If no bridge priority is configured in PVST, which criteria is considered when

electing the root bridge?

o lowest IP address
o lowest MAC address
o highest IP address
o highest MAC address

12. Which RSTP ports are connected to end devices?

o trunk ports
o designated ports
o root ports
o edge ports

13. A network administrator is preparing the implementation of Rapid PVST+ on a

production network. How are the Rapid PVST+ link types determined on the
switch interfaces?

o Link types are determined automatically.

o Link types must be configured with specific port configuration commands.
o Link types can only be determined if PortFast has been configured.
o Link types can only be configured on access ports configured with a single VLAN.

14. Which port state will switch ports immediately transition to when configured
for PortFast?

o listening
o learning
o forwarding
o blocking

15. To obtain an overview of the spanning tree status of a switched network, a

network engineer issues the show spanning-tree command on a switch. Which
two items of information will this command display? (Choose two.)

o The root bridge BID.

o The role of the ports in all VLANs.
o The status of native VLAN ports.
o The number of broadcasts received on each root port.
o The IP address of the management VLAN interface.

16. What is the purpose of HSRP?

o It provides a continuous network connection when a router fails.

o It prevents a rogue switch from becoming the STP root.
o It enables an access port to immediately transition to the forwarding state.
o It prevents malicious hosts from connecting to trunk ports.

17. Which nonproprietary protocol provides router redundancy for a group of

routers which support IPv4 LANs?

o HSRP
o VRRPv2
o GLBP
o SLB

18. Refer to the exhibit. Which protocol information is being displayed in the
output?

o FHRP
o GLBP
o HSRP
o VRRP

19. Refer to the exhibit. A network engineer is troubleshooting host connectivity

on a LAN that uses a first hop redundancy protocol. Which IPv4 gateway
address should be configured on the host?

o 192.168.2.0
o 192.168.2.1
o 192.168.2.2
o 192.168.2.100

20. Fill in the blank. Do not use abbreviations.

The spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst global configuration command is used to

enable Rapid PVST+.

21. Fill in the blank.

In FHRP operation, two or more routers are represented as a

single virtual router.
22. Match the step number to the sequence of stages that occur during the HSRP
failover process. (Not all options are used.)
