What information can be derived from the output?
A.
Interfaces FastEthernet3/1 and FastEthernet3/2 are connected to devices that are sending
BPDUs with a superior root bridge parameter and no traffic is forwarded across the ports. After the
sending of BPDUs has stopped, the interfaces must be shut down administratively, and brought
back up, to resume normal operation.
B.
Devices connected to interfaces FastEthernet3/1 and FastEthernet3/2 are sending BPDUs with
a superior root bridge parameter, but traffic is still forwarded across the ports.
C.
Devices connected to interfaces FastEthernet3/1 and FastEthernet3/2 are sending BPDUs with
a superior root bridge parameter and no traffic is forwarded across the ports. After the inaccurate
BPDUs have been stopped, the interfaces automatically recover and resume normal operation.
D.
Interfaces FastEthernet3/1 and FastEthernet3/2 are candidates for becoming the STP root port,
but neither can realize that role until BPDUs with a superior root bridge parameter are no longer
received on at least one of the interfaces.
Explanation:
Root guard is configured on a per-port basis. If a superior BPDU is received on the
port, root guard does not take the BPDU into account and so puts the port into a root-inconsistent
sate. When devices connected on FastEthernet3/1 and FastEthernet3/2 stops sending superior
BPDUs, the port will be unblocked again and will transition through STP states like any other port.
