CCENT & CCNA STP Practice Exam Question!

As you start to prepare for your various Cisco certifications, one thing you will notice about Cisco exams is they are not the easy multiple choice type questions that you will see with the CompTIA A+ exams or the such.  That is why the Cisco certification holds so much more weight with employers and provides you a better chance of landing a well-paying job than a CompTIA certification. Thus you will see questions on your CCNA or CCENT exam that makes you string together multiple concepts to be able to select the correct answer.  They often provide you with information overload!  In our sample CCNA practice exam scenario question we have here today, you can see this in action.

It is typical that you will see a topology similar to the sample below on your Cisco Certified Network Associate 200-120 CCNA exam.  This question brings together the concepts of switching, VLAN (virtual LANs, STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) and redundancy all in one.  Ensuring that you understand how each relate to the other.  So let’s jump into the question below.

Using the topology exhibit below, you are a CCNA administrator.  One of the CCNP network engineers has had reports of network connectivity issues and he has asked you to solve the problem for him since he is unavailable at this time. It is suspected that the cable connected to switch port Fa0/1 on SwitchD is disconnected. What would be an effect of this cable being disconnected?
