I thought D had a better chance than C.
AN

Wait, how do we know which ones are root ports?
KA

Not so sure about E, could be C instead.
DI

Totally agree, A and B seem right!
FA
Fabiola

I think the root ports are A, B, and E.
RO

If I recall correctly, the root ports should be the ones with the lowest cost to the root bridge, but I can't remember the exact values for these bridges.
VE

I feel like I might be mixing up the concepts of root ports and designated ports. I need to double-check my notes on that.

I think I practiced a similar question where we had to identify root ports based on bridge IDs and port priorities. I hope that helps with this one!

I remember something about how root ports are determined by the lowest cost path to the root bridge, but I'm not entirely sure how to apply that here.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the wording of the question. Can R1 really set the MED or local priority on the other routers? I'll need to double-check the BGP best path selection process to make sure I understand how these attributes are used.

Hmm, this one seems a bit tricky. I'll need to think carefully about the role of Okta in managing on-premise application traffic.

I'm pretty sure the answer is C. iOS requires IT deployment for the Intune Company Portal app.
KA

Wait, are these port names or the names of my favorite superheroes? I'm so confused!

E) Bridge D 1/1/1

I bet the person who wrote this question is a fan of the alphabet soup diet. All these port names are making me hungry!
EV

Haha, alphabet soup indeed! But at least we know which ports will become root ports now.
RO

I think you're right! It does feel like we're picking out letters for a soup.
KA

A) Bridge B 1/1/3, C) Bridge C 1/1/2, E) Bridge D 1/1/1

Hold on, I think I've got this. Let me re-read the question and really analyze the exhibit. Hmm, I'm going to go with B, D, and F. Fingers crossed!
FE

User 3: I picked E and H, hopefully I got it right!
JA

User 2: I went with B, D, and F. Let's see who got it right!
KE
Kenny

User 1: I chose A, C, and G as the root ports.
SK
Skye

Ugh, this is giving me a headache. I think I'll just pick A, G, and H. Why not? It's a multiple-choice question, so I might as well guess!
KI
King

Oh, come on! This is tricky. I'm going to think this through carefully and choose D, F, and H. I bet those are the ones that will become root ports.
GA
Gary
1 year ago
I believe D, F, and H are the root ports as well.
LO
Loreen

I'm not sure about D, but I think F and H are correct.
CA
Cassi

I think D, F, and H are the root ports too.
ED
Eden

I'm not sure about port D 1/1/1. I think port E 1/1/1 might have a lower path cost.
MI
Mila

Hmm, let's see... I'm going to go with B, C, and E. Surely the shortest port names must be the root ports, right? Easy peasy!
BR
Brett
1 year ago
User 2: Yeah, those are the shortest port names, so they must be the root ports.
RO
Rosendo

User 1: I think B, C, and E are the root ports too.
JE
Jerry

I agree with Nina. Those ports have the lowest path cost to the root bridge.
NI
Nina

I think ports B 1/1/3, C 1/1/2, and D 1/1/1 will become root ports.
