.
Match each statement with the correct term.
Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.
This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

Each frame transmits its expected duration time
Every hello interval regardless of whether BDPUs are received from root - allowing any switch to take an active role maintaining the topology
Real-time functions such as beacons and probes - encryption and interactions with the client at L2
26. How does a DAI enabled switch gather trusted ARP info?
Arp for local subnet - if on different subnet - will arp for dgw
They disguise the origin of an attack
All non-edge ports are discarding. After the root bridge is identified - the port with superior BDPU becomes root
From the DHCP snooping database or from static entries
27. What does the src-mac option do when checking ARP replies
