Question No : 1
Which option describes how a switch in rapid PVST+ mode responds to a topology
change?
A. It immediately deletes dynamic MAC addresses that were learned by all ports on the
switch.
B. It sets a timer to delete all MAC addresses that were learned dynamically by ports in the
same STP instance.
C. It sets a timer to delete dynamic MAC addresses that were learned by all ports on the
switch.
D. It immediately deletes all MAC addresses that were learned dynamically by ports in the
same STP instance.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Rapid PVST+This spanning-tree mode is the same as PVST+ except that is uses a rapid
convergence based on the IEEE 802.1w standard. To provide rapid convergence, the rapid
PVST+ immediately deletes dynamically learned MAC address entries on a per-port basis
upon receiving a topology change. By contrast, PVST+ uses a short aging time for
dynamically learned MAC address entries.
The rapid PVST+ uses the same configuration as PVST+ (except where noted), and the
switch needs only minimal extra configuration. The benefit of rapid PVST+ is that you can
migrate a large PVST+ install base to rapid PVST+ without having to learn the complexities
of the MSTP configuration and without having to reprovision your network. In rapid-PVST+
mode, each VLAN runs its own spanning-tree instance up to the maximum supported.
