  1. Steve says:

    Can you please explain to me neruin?
    Isn’t Switch C here the root bridge since it has the lowest mac address (or BID = pri+MAC)!
    Since there is no BID here I assumed they have the same priority and so Switch C is the Root bridge.
    Root bridge ports are always designated!!
    Can you please explain?

    Answer A.
    Agree with Steve.
    ” Root Port is a single selected port on a Switch, other than Root Switch, with least Path Cost to reach the Root Bridge.”
    SwitchC is the root bridge and can’t have root ports.
    Therefore, the right answer is SwrtchA port2 .

    Correct answer is choice D. SwitchB port 1

    RootBridge is Swtich C because Lowest MAC address:
    Switch A Port 1: Root (MAC Port 1 Lower than MAC Port 2)
    Switch A Port 2: Alternate
    Switch A Port 3: Designate

    Switch B Port 1: Root (Equal bandwidth to RootBridge then select form lower MAC Address)
    Switch B Port 2: Alternate

    Switch C Port 1: Designate
    Switch C Port 2: Designate
    Switch C Port 3: Designate

    Switch D Port 1: Designate
    Switch D Port 2: Root
