|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What type of BPDU is sent by a new switch to notify all switches that it has connected? |
|
Definition
| BPDU with the Topology Change Notification TCN bit set |
|
|
Term
| When a switch joins the network it begins sending BPDU's claiming to be what? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| When a switch receives a superior BPDU it stops sending it's own and forwards the superior. What ST states does this involve? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| When only one switch is sending BPDUs and the others begin the process of finding the best path to the root. What state is this? |

Definition
|
|
Term
| When a topology change occurs the root switch sets what flag in it's BPDU's prior to forwarding to all other switches? |

Term
| When a BPDU comes out with a TC bit flag set what do the receiving switches do? |
|
Definition
