200-301 · Question #617

Drag and Drop Question Drag and drop the Rapid PVST+ forwarding state actions from the left to the right. Not all actions are used. Answer:

The correct answer is BPDU's received are forwarded to the system module; Frames received from the attached segment are processed; Switched frames received from other ports are advanced; The port in the forwarding state responds to network management messages. In Rapid PVST+ forwarding state, a port performs three key actions: BPDUs received are forwarded to the system module for processing, frames received from the attached segment are processed (not discarded), and switched frames received from other ports are advanced (forwarded out

BPDU's received are forwarded to the system moduleBPDU's received from the system module are processed and transmittedFrames received from the attached segment are discardedFrames received from the attached segment are processedSwitched frames received from other ports are advancedThe port in the forwarding state responds to network management messages

Correct arrangement

  • BPDU's received are forwarded to the system module
  • Frames received from the attached segment are processed
  • Switched frames received from other ports are advanced
  • The port in the forwarding state responds to network management messages

Explanation

In Rapid PVST+ forwarding state, a port performs three key actions: BPDUs received are forwarded to the system module for processing, frames received from the attached segment are processed (not discarded), and switched frames received from other ports are advanced (forwarded out the port). The forwarding state is the fully operational state where both BPDUs and data frames are handled normally, allowing the port to actively participate in network traffic forwarding.
