What does the Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) do?
A.) Restore lost frames
B.) Builds routing tables for routing through an internetwork
C.) Forward packets through a switch
D.) STA is implemented by STP to prevent loops
Answer / guest
Answer: D
IEEE 8021.d Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) was developed to
prevent
routing loops in a network. If a router, switch, or hub has
more then
one path to the same destination, a routing problem could
occur. To
prevent this, the Spanning Tree Protocol is executed between
the devices
to detect and logically block redundant paths from the
network. The main
function of the Spanning Tree Protocol is to allow redundant
network
paths without suffering the effects of loops in the network.
The Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) implemented by STP
prevents loops by
calculating a stable Spanning Tree network topology. When
creating fault
tolerant internetworks, a loop-free path must exist between
all Ethernet
nodes in the network. Spanning Tree frames called Bridge
Protocol Data
Units (BPDUs) are sent and received by all switches in the
network at
regular intervals.

Hey Folks how are you i guess some of guys are newly visitors of this site so let me introduce my self. I am jitendera kumar sinha working for cisco system (india)( Network engineer L2) and i was also a regular Visitors of this site and i have provided lots of answer and i do not know how many are correct :-) By the way i am here again to learn some thing and share my knowledge which is beyond CCNA Scope and and it is some where related to ccnp ( switching )and ccnp Security as i am pursuing ccnp security so i am going to start the topics from switching and will share my knowledge and try to brush-up my knowledge.... so let me know any topic in switching where you are facing difficulty and i will try to solve it so please post one topic and i will reply weekly as i am getting time on Sunday only
