  19. What is extended system ID ?
  20. Which type of ports are configured under portfast ?
  21. What is one benefit of PVST+ compared to PVST ?
  22. STP uses the which criteria to decide whether to place a port in a Forwarding state or Blocking state ?
  23. STP uses the which steps to select its paths ?
  24. What is portfast in STP ?
  25. What is port priority in STP ?
  26. Which command will let you know about the cost of ports configured ?
  27. Which port state is introduced by Rapid-PVST ?
  28. What conditions cause an STP topology change? What effect does this have on STP and the network?
  29. A Root Bridge has been elected in a switched network. Suppose that a new switch is installed with a lower Bridge ID than the existing Root Bridge. What will happen?
  30. Suppose that a switch receives Configuration BPDUs on two of its ports. Both ports are assigned to the same VLAN. Each of the BPDUs announces Catalyst A as the Root Bridge. Can the switch use both of these ports as Root Ports? Why?
  31. What conditions can cause ports on a network’s Root Bridge to move into the Blocking state?
  33. In a BPDU, when can the Root Bridge ID have the same value as the Sender Bridge ID?
  34. Using the default STP timers, how long does it take for a port to move from the Blocking state to the Forwarding state?
  35. Over what VLANs does the CST run ?
  36. What happens to BPDU packet when STP is disabled on port?
  37. Can STP be configured on a router ?
  38. Is STP required to be configured when there is only one switch ?
  39. Is an Ethernet frame modified when STP is configured on the network
  40. How many root bridges can be available on a STP configured network ?
  42. Which mechanism is used to detect the unidirectional links failure and addressing bridging loops ?
  43. If the Root Bridge sets the Topology Change flag in the BPDU, what must the other switches in the network do?
  44. How many root ports are there for each non-root bridge ?
  45. Which STP version runs on cisco Switches ?
  46. What is difference between Root port and designated port ?
  47. What is function of BPDU Filter ?
  48. If we want to disable STP on a port connected to a server, which command would you use?
