Which port becomes the alternate port?

  • A Bridge B 1/1/3
  • B Bridge B 1/1/2
  • C Bridge C 1/1/2
  • D Bridge C 2/1/1
  • E Bridge D 1/1/1
  • F Bridge D 1/1/3
Explanation

Bridge E is the root bridge because it has the lowest bridge ID. Bridge C has a root-path cost of 10, while Bridge B has a root-path cost of 20 through Bridge D. On the link between B and C, C therefore supplies the superior BPDU and is the designated bridge; Bridge B’s port on that link is the alternate port.
