5.4.2 Module Quiz – STP (Answers)

1. Which port state will switch ports immediately transition to when configured for
PortFast?

• forwarding
• blocking
• listening
• learning

2. After the election of the root bridge has been completed, how will switches find the best
paths to the root bridge?

• Each switch will analyze the port states of all neighbors and use the designated ports to
forward traffic to the root.
• Each switch will analyze the sum of all port costs to reach the root and use the path with
the lowest cost.

fewest hops.
