Which of the following are the switch and bridge port characteristics of a layer 2 spanning-tree network in a fully converged condition?
  1. All switch and bridge ports are in the forwarding state.
  2. All switch and bridge ports are looping.
  3. All switch and bridge ports are in either the forwarding or blocking state.
  4. All switch and bridge are in the blocking state.
Explanation
Answer: C - In a fully converged condition, all switch and bridge ports will be either in the forwarding or blocking state.

Key Takeaway: The switch listens and learns the state of other devices when it comes up on a network. It learns the MAC addresses of the devices on the LAN and any loops in the network. Once this is done, STP designates ports that will be forwarding to the hosts or blocking certain ports that create a loop in the network. This results in a converged condition.
