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.

By encapsulating each frame in a header and trailer
Half-duplex
If a unidirectional link is detected - the port continues normally - but the port is marked as undetermined and a syslog is generated

Makes use of the DHCP snooping database and static ip source binding entries. If enabled - switch will test addresses
After another forwarding delay - the port can send and receive data frames - collect MAC addresses - and send and receove BDPUs
That they aren't using the same frequencies.
25. RSTP backup port
Port with redundant - but less deisrable connection to a segment. Possibly root candidate

Should be used on access switches - can't be used on root - keeps enabled switch from becoming root by raising priority of switch and all ports - making them undesirable
Trusted or untrusted
28. How is RSTP synchronization accomplished?
All non-edge ports are discarding. After the root bridge is identified - the port with superior BDPU becomes root
To a VLAN and not to a VLAN interface (SVI)
Time between BDPUs sent by root bridge. Default of 2 seconds
Packets must be sent to the L3 engine for further processing
