RSTP uses the proposal/agreement mechanism to shorten the time that an upstream port waits before transitioning to the Forwarding state, but no temporary loop occurs. Why?

Question

Options

• ARSTP introduces the edge port role.
• BRSTP accelerates port role election.
• CRSTP uses a synchronization mechanism to prevent temporary loops.
• DRSTP shortens the time taken by port status transition (Forward Delay).

Explanation

RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) employs a synchronization mechanism with the proposal/agreement handshakes to prevent loops during topology changes. By synchronizing states between switches, RSTP avoids temporary loops while quickly transitioning ports to the forwarding state.
