1. STP was originally created by Radia Perlman and was later standardized by IEEE _____.

Question 1 of 25

2. Each switch usually assumes it is the spanning tree root until the BPDUs have all been exchanged between the switches.

Question 2 of 25

3. The default bridge priority of a Cisco switch is ______.

Question 3 of 25

4. All switches in the network take part in an election to decide the root of the spanning tree; this then leads to them making further decisions, such as which redundant path to block and which to open. The election is won by the switch with the highest BID.

9. The 802.1T standard introduced an extended system ID in order to conserve MAC addresses while still allowing for a unique BID. With extended system ID enabled (VLAN 10 in this example), the bridge priority is set to either ____ as a minimum or a multiple of ____.
