Refer to the exhibit.
Based on the information given, which switch will be elected root bridge and why?
A.
Switch A, because it has the lowest MAC address
B.
Switch A, because it is the most centrally located switch
C.
Switch B, because it has the highest MAC address
D.
Switch C, because it is the most centrally located switch
E.
Switch C, because it has the lowest priority
F.
Switch D, because it has the highest priority
Explanation:
To elect the root bridge in the LAN, first check the priority value. The switch having the lowest
priority will win the election process. If Priority Value is the same then it checks the MAC Address;
the switch having the lowest MAC Address will become the root bridge. In this case, switch C has
the lowest MAC Address so it becomes the root bridge.
Answer E: the switch with the lowest BID ends up being identified as the Root Bridge
It is E but it has the highest priority. The lower the number the higher the priority it has. The Answer is worded stupid.
The response say:
In this case, switch C has the lowest MAC Address so it becomes the root bridge.
The response will be:
In this case, switch C has the lowest priority so it becomes the root bridge.
