CCNA Routing and Switching (legacy) — Question 4

Which two spanning-tree port states does RSTP combine to allow faster convergence? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. blocking
• B. learning
• C. forwarding
• D. discarding
• E. listening AE

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

The correct answers are A (blocking) and E (listening AE), as RSTP combines these states to reduce the time it takes for a switch to transition to a forwarding state. Options B (learning), C (forwarding), and D (discarding) are not combined in RSTP and therefore do not contribute to the faster convergence capability.
