ICND2 3.0: Spanning Tree Overview Overview/Description Expected Duration Lesson Objectives Course Number Expertise Level Overview/Description Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) identifies and terminates redundant links to provide a loop-free network. Explore STP operations, as you prepare for the 200-105: Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 2 certification exam.

Lesson Objectives ICND2 3.0: Spanning Tree Overview
define the switchports that broadcast traffic exit
describe how Spanning Tree Protocol corrects for switching loops
describe the purpose of the Spanning Tree Protocol
recognize the state that Spanning Tree Protocol uses to prevent switching loops
specify the consequences of a switching loop
define how switches know the cost to the Root Bridge of neighboring adjacent switches
identify the properties of a Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU)
identify the revised IEEE cost assigned to ports in Spanning Tree Protocol
specify the Bridge ID value that STP would elect as the Root Bridge
specify the switchport property that would have the highest priority in being elected as the Root Port
identify the only STP port type used on Root Bridge active switchports
recognize the protocol name and IEEE standard that have faster convergence times when switchports transition up or down
recognize which version of STP to use when ports need to converge as fast as possible while keeping VLANs in their own spanning-tree instances
specify the correct order of precedence used to determine the switch that will be assigned a designated port when two switches share a segment
specify the spanning-tree protocol to use when different VLANs need their own STP instance and convergence must occur as fast as possible
