Link Aggregation and Spanning Tree Protocol Quiz

What is the name of the logical interface created when configuring an EtherChannel?

• Virtual LAN

• Port channel

• Network bridge

• Data link

What is the main benefit of using EtherChannel?

• Increased bandwidth

• Reduced latency

• Enhanced security

• Lower cost

What is the primary function of a port channel in EtherChannel?

• To provide a backup connection

• To bundle physical interfaces

• To encrypt data

• To manage IP addresses

EtherChannel was developed for which type of network environment?

• Home networks

• LAN switch-to-switch

• Satellite communication

• Mobile networks

What does PAgP stand for?

• Port Aggregation Protocol

• Packet Aggregation Protocol

• Port Access Protocol

• Packet Access Protocol

Who designed LACP?

• IEEE

• Intel

What protocol is used in the EtherChannel summary provided?

• LACP

• PAgP

• STP

• RSTP

Which of the following can occur due to the absence of STP?

• Broadcast storm

• Enhanced network stability

• Decreased network traffic

• Improved data encryption

How does STP ensure there is only one logical path between all destinations?

• By creating multiple paths.

• By blocking redundant paths.

• By selecting multiple root bridges.

• By disabling all ports.

What does STP do in case of a link failure?

• It permanently disables the path.

• It recalculates the paths and unblocks necessary ports.

• It creates a new root bridge.

• It ignores the failure.
