H12-811 Exam - Question 54


In RSTP, a backup port can replace a faulty root port.

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

In Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), a backup port does not replace a faulty root port. In RSTP, an alternate port is used to replace a faulty root port, providing an alternate path from the bridge to the root bridge. A backup port, on the other hand, is used to provide a redundant path to the same network segment and does not replace the root port.

A. True In Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), a backup port can indeed replace a faulty root port. RSTP introduces the concept of Alternate and Backup ports. An Alternate port is designated to replace a failed designated port, and a Backup port is designated to replace a failed root port. This feature helps in rapid convergence by quickly transitioning to an alternative path if a primary path fails.
