What does the Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) do? A.) Restore lost frames B.) Builds routing tab..

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.

If a router uses dynamic routing, how does it learn the route to remote networks? The router uses a DHCP request to obtain remote network numbers. The router uses a routing protocol to exchange routing info. with other routers. The router uses DNS request packets to obtain remote network numbers. The Network Administrator manually configures the remote networks.
