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

What is a characteristic of a Layer 2 loop?
What is a characteristic of a Layer 2 loop?
A switch is continually forwarding the same unicast frame.
Broadcast frames are forwarded back to the sending switch.*
Routers continually forward packets to other routers.
The Time-to-Live attribute of a frame is set to infinity.
16

Which two network design features require Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) to ensure correct network operation? (Choose two.)
redundant links between Layer 2 switches*
removing single points of failure with multiple Layer 2 switches*
link-state dynamic routing that provides redundant routes
static default routes
implementing VLANs to contain broadcasts
17

What is an advantage of PVST+?
What is an advantage of PVST+?
PVST+ optimizes performance on the network through load sharing.*
PVST+ requires fewer CPU cycles for all the switches in the network.
PVST+ reduces bandwidth consumption compared to traditional implementations of STP that use CST.
PVST+ optimizes performance on the network through autoselection of the root bridge.
19
What is the purpose of HSRP?
What is the purpose of HSRP?
It prevents malicious hosts from connecting to trunk ports.
It enables an access port to immediately transition to the forwarding state.
It prevents a rogue switch from becoming the STP root.
It provides a continuous network connection when a router fails.*
20

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?
192.168.2.0
192.168.2.1
192.168.2.2
192.168.2.100*
23
What is the outcome of a Layer 2 broadcast storm?
What is the outcome of a Layer 2 broadcast storm?
CSMA/CD will cause each host to continue transmitting frames.
ARP broadcast requests are returned to the transmitting host.
Routers will take over the forwarding of frames as switches become congested.
New traffic is discarded by the switch because it is unable to be processed.*
