ICND2: Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 2 (legacy) — Question 12

Which process is associated with spanning-tree convergence?

Answer options

• A. determining the path cost
• B. electing designated ports
• C. learning the sender bridge ID
• D. assigning the port ID

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as determining the path cost is essential for the spanning-tree algorithm to establish the best path and eliminate loops. Options B, C, and D are related processes but do not directly influence the convergence of spanning-tree in the same fundamental way as calculating the path cost.
