CCNA Routing and Switching (legacy) — Question 43

If primary and secondary root switches with priority 16384 both experience catastrophic losses, which tertiary switch can take over?

Answer options

• A. a switch with priority 20480
• B. a switch with priority 8192
• C. a switch with priority 4096
• D. a switch with priority 12288

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as a switch with a priority of 20480 has a higher priority than the default root priority of 16384. The other options (B, C, and D) have lower priorities than 16384, making them ineligible to take over as the root switch.
