Question 500
An enterprise network designer recommends: Configure VSTP bridge priorities per VLAN so the intended root differs by VLAN. Which situation most clearly calls for this action?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This case requires the VSTP per-VLAN roots action. Each VLAN can elect the specified preferred root and its own forwarding tree.
Incorrect Answers
This other case would be better matched to Restore the planned VSTP bridge priority and root placement for that VLAN. The desired distribution switch can regain control of the VLAN's spanning-tree topology.
This other case would be better matched to Verify that the VLAN is included in the appropriate VSTP configuration on all relevant trunk links. The VLAN can have its intended spanning-tree state on the shared trunk.
This other case would be better matched to Inspect VSTP root, path and port-role details before treating the blocking state as a physical fault. The team can distinguish deliberate loop prevention from physical failure.
