After the recent upgrade of the switching infrastructure, the network engineer notices that the port
roles that were once “blocking” are now defined as “alternate” and “backup.” What is the reason
for this change?

A.
The new switches are using RSTP instead of legacy IEEE 802.1D STP.

B.
IEEE 802.1D STP and PortFast have been configured by default on all newly implemented
Cisco Catalyst switches.

C.
The administrator has defined the switch as the root in the STP domain.

D.
The port roles have been adjusted based on the interface bandwidth and timers of the new
Cisco Catalyst switches.
