CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 607

A network engineer is configuring new switches. Some of the trunk ports are in a blocking state. Which of the following should the network engineer reconfigure?

Answer options

• A. STP
• B. Port mirroring
• C. Flow control
• D. LACP

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is responsible for preventing loops in network topologies, and it can place ports in a blocking state to maintain a loop-free environment. Reconfiguring STP can help resolve the blocking state of trunk ports. The other options, such as Port mirroring, Flow control, and LACP, do not directly influence the blocking state of trunk ports.
