Answer / jitendera sinha
this protocol is called BPDU.
remember that i am not going to expalin the prorty value
mac value.
BPDU is the best answer for the interview
if you need explanation then post it i will send the
explanation

Answer / guest
the port that has the least cost toward the root bridge is
considered theroot port andthe one that is in the opposite
direction is considered the designated port.
now the one that has the better cost (remember lower is the
better)among the two parellel connections is considered the
forwarding port and the one that has higher cost is takes
as the blocking.

@ Jitendera Sinh- Please don't misguide if u don't know the answer.
BPDU's are packets exchanged b/w switches to to know the interface to which it is connected to. (not protocol.
TO answer the question you need to explain the STP.
This is how entire STP works in simple words.
1.Lowest Bride ID will be elected as ROOT bridge.
2.All the ports of ROOT bridge will be DP
3.All ports directly connected to ROOT bridge will become RP
4.Based on the path cost to reach ROOT bridge, the Port will become RP(Other than directly connected bridge)
5.The Port to which RP is connected will be a DP.
6.All other(Extra) port will be either DP/BP based on the Bridge ID.(Lower will be DP)

Answer / venkatesh
ports enter into the root bridge,these ports are called as
designated ports.The out going ports which are enter into
the root bridge is known as root ports.The alternative root
for the network is known as blocking port.Which port
overcome the listening,learning,blocking modes is called as
forwarding port

Answer / vinoth
STP to identify the Root Port used by Priority value and mac
address, and designated port calculated by closed port of
root port per link, other ports are non-designated port.

What is the last step in data encapsulation? A.) User information is converted into data. B.) Segments are converted into datagrams and packets. C.) Frames are put into bits. D.) Data is converted into segments. E.) Packets are put into logical frame.
A banana plantation is located next to a desert. The plantation owner has 3000 bananas that he wants to transport to the market by camel, across a 1000 kilometre stretch of desert. The owner has only one camel, which carries a maximum of 1000 bananas at any moment in time, and eats one banana every kilometre it travels. What is the largest number of bananas that can be delivered at the market?
What is an advantage of local area network (LAN) segmentation? A. smaller collision domains B. elimination of broadcasts C. decreased cost of implementation D. larger number of users within the same domain
Identify the command mode necessary to enter the standard ping command? A.) Router(config)# B.) Router> C.) Router(std-ping)# D.) Router(config-if)#
Which type of switching reads just the address portion of the frame and then immediately starts forwarding it? A.) Cut-Through B.) Store-and-Forward C.) Tabling D.) Routing E.) Inverse ARP F.) Fast Forward
Which statement about Ethernet switches is true? A. Symmetric switching allows connection between pods of unlike bandwidth and does not require memory buffering B. Memory Buffering is used to prevent a bottleneck when pods of different bandwidth are connected on a symmetric switch C. The latency can be reduced if the switch utilizes the store and forward method of switching store and forward is better for error detection D. The cut through method of switching is faster because the switch forwards the packet to the destination as soon as it reads the destination address
Which of the following would be displayed by the command 'SHOW CDP NEIGHBOR DETAIL'? A.) The incoming/outgoing port. B.) The hardware platform. C.) One address per protocol. D.) Amount of Flash Memory Available E.) The routers hostname. F.) The subnet mask, if IP is configured.
Identify 3 UDP characteristics? A.) Reliable communication protocol B.) Applications that use UDP must incorporate reliability C.) Connection-less oriented D.) Incorporates no handshaking
Which of the following are solutions to the problems encountered with Distance-Vector routing? A.) Defining a Maximum B.) Poison Reverse C.) Triggered Updates D.) Shortest path first algorithm. E.) Split Horizon
What is cisco?
Which protocol works at the Internet layer and is responsible for making routing decisions? A.) UDP B.) IP C.) TCP D.) ARP
What are the different types of cables that are used in routing?
