Use the activity file provided by the examiner and follow the instructions given. Only use
the provided activity file to solve the problem. You need to configure the topology as per
the following instructions:
VTP = 20%
STP bridge and related commands = 20%
IP Address assignment and sub-netting = 30%
Ether-channel = 10%
Routing = 20%
Answer to Problem 1.
The 00001010.0110 is common in all of the above 4 This means 12 bits are common.
Answer Problem 2.
172.16.207.192 ->10101100.00010000.11001111.11000000
172.16.204.128 ->10101100.00010000.11001100.10000000
172.16.204.0------>10101100.00010000.11001100.00000000
So IP address is 10101100.00010000.11001100.00000000
Answer Problem 3
192.168.1.100 As first three octet is same in all 4, the last octet in decimal is 01100100
The first three octet value are same so we check the 4th octet from which 01 is common.so
01000000 will be the value for last octet.
So the address we get is 192.168.1.64 and as total number of common bits is 26 it will be the
mask
2. List the command that will reinforce any other switch of administrator choice as root-
bridge?
#config t
#spanning-tree vlan 3 root primary
3. List the command that will change root-bridge to Sw-D without reinforcing?
#config t
#spanning-tree vlan 1 priority 0
4. What will be the status of all the ports of root-bridge? Assume port-labels.
all the ports of the root bridge will be root port
5. Which switch will be elected as root-bridge if all switches have the same priority?
If all switches have the same root bridge priority, the switch with the lowest MAC
address will be elected as the root bridge.
