HPE6-A72 Exam - Question 80


Refer to the exhibit.

Switch-1 is not the root bridge. The ports shown are all the connected pointtopoint interfaces. What Role (hidden by the blue rectangle) will be assigned to the Lag

1 interface?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: C

The Root port is the port on a non-root bridge with the best path (lowest cost) to the root bridge. In the exhibit, the Lag1 interface has the lowest cost (2000) compared to the other ports, which makes it the most likely candidate to be the Root port, as it indicates the closest path to the root bridge.

Because the root port is always the link connected to the root bridge, or the shortest path to the root bridge.

C, as it is the port with the closest path to the root switch judging by its cost (2000 is for 1 interface of 10Gb).
