  1. trak1 says:

    D is incorrect
    If the bridge receives superior STP bridge protocol data units (BPDUs) on a root-protected interface, that interface transitions to a root-prevented STP state (inconsistency state) and the interface is blocked. This blocking prevents a bridge from being elected the root bridge. When the bridge stops receiving superior STP BPDUs on the root-protected interface, interface traffic is no longer blocked.When root protect is enabled on an interface, it is enabled for all spanning-tree protocol instances on that interface. The interface is blocked only for those instances that receive superior BPDUs.
    C and A are incorrect
    If a BPDU is received on the interface, the system will disable the interface and
    stop forwarding frames out the interface until the bridging process is restarted.

    You need to configure loop protection.
    When loop protection is enabled, the spanning-tree topology detects root ports and blocked ports and makes sure both keep receiving BPDUs. If a loop-protection-enabled interface stops receiving BPDUs from its designated port, it reacts as it would react to a problem with the physical connection on this interface. It doesn’t transition the interface to a forwarding state, but instead transitions it to a loop-inconsistent state. The interface recovers and then it transitions back to the spanning-tree blocking state as soon as it receives a BPDU.
    The only answer with: is B
    bpdu-timeout-action {
    block;
    log;
    }
