Which two statements correctly describe RSTP port roles? (Choose two.)
Which two statements correctly describe RSTP port roles? (Choose two.)
The designated port forwards data to the downstream network segment or device. This means it plays an active role in forwarding traffic towards the rest of the network. The root port is responsible for forwarding data to the root bridge, meaning it handles traffic going towards the central switch or bridge of the network. Both these statements accurately describe the roles of RSTP ports.
An RSTP topology contains ports that have specific roles: The root port is responsible for forwarding data to the root bridge. The alternate port is a standby port for the root port. When a root port goes down, the alternate port becomes the active root port. The designated port forwards data to the downstream network segment or device. The backup port is a backup port for the designated port. When a designated port goes down, the backup port becomes the active designated port and starts forwarding data.
