Spanning Tree Protocol - Technical MCQs

Q1:

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

ANS:A - Switch(config)# spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst

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.
