Refer to the exhibit.

Switch 3 runs Rapid Per-VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (RPVST+), which is enabled on VLANs 1-4. Select the
correct number for each of these parameters.

Explanation:
Spanning Tree instances – 4
RPVST+ BPDU transmitted – 4

Rapid PVST+ is the IEEE 802.1w (RSTP) standard implemented per VLAN. A single instance of STP runs on
each configured VLAN (if you do not manually disable STP). Each Rapid PVST+ instance on a VLAN has a
single root switch. You can enable and disable STP on a per-VLAN basis when you are running Rapid PVST+.
When a switch transmits a Rapid PVST+ BPDU frame, all switches connected to the VLAN on which the frame
is transmitted receive the BPDU. When a switch receives a BPDU, it does not forward the frame but instead
uses the information in the frame to calculate a BPDU, and, if the topology changes, initiate a BPDU
transmission.
A BPDU exchange results in the following:
• One switch is elected as the root bridge.
• The shortest distance to the root bridge is calculated for each switch based on the path cost.
• A designated bridge for each LAN segment is selected. This is the switch closest to the root bridge through
which frames are forwarded to the root.
• A root port is selected. This is the port providing the best path from the bridge to the root bridge.
• Ports included in the spanning tree are selected.
