Spanning Tree Protocol

What can happen if a device is accidentally plugged into itself?

• It will cause a broadcast storm.

• It will shut down the device.

• It will create a new network.

• It will speed up the network.

What is a broadcast storm?

• A method to speed up data transmission.

• A new type of network protocol.

• A flood of broadcasts overloading a switch.

• A weather event affecting networks.

What is the purpose of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)?

• To increase network speed.

• To prevent loops in the network.

• To add more devices to the network.

• To create new data frames.

What does STP use to find and remove redundant links?

• Switches.

• Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs).

• Data frames.

• Network cables.

What algorithm does STP use to manage network loops?

• Routing Algorithm.

• Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA).

• Data Link Algorithm.

• Switching Algorithm.
