Network Fundamentals

How does Rapid PVST+ establish a fast, loop-free network topology?

  • A It uses multiple active paths between end stations.
  • B It requires multiple links between core switches.
  • C It maps multiple VLANs into the same spanning-tree instance.
  • D It generates one spanning-tree instance for each VLAN.
Explanation

Rapid PVST+ is Cisco's enhancement that applies Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol on a per-VLAN basis, creating a separate spanning-tree instance for each VLAN. That per-VLAN rapid convergence is what provides a fast loop-free topology while allowing different VLANs to use different logical paths.
