Question 690
An RSTP switch port is in the Discarding state. Which statement describes its data-plane behavior during convergence?
Explanation
Correct Answer
RSTP Discarding replaces the older disabled, blocking and listening nonforwarding states. A port can process control information without ordinary data forwarding or MAC learning.
Incorrect Answers
Forwarding requires the forwarding state; Discarding does not relay user frames.
The separate Learning state learns addresses without forwarding; Discarding learns neither.
A port state is not the device-wide root-bridge election identity.
