Answer:
Blocking Mode
Explanation:
Spanning Tree Protocol is used to allow path redundancy in the network without creating cycles/circles also called loops.
When two parts of the switched network are connected via two or more Layer 2 switches this result in a loop.
This affects the performance of the network as the result of broadcast packets flooding.
STP puts one port of the switch to forwarding mode and the rest of the ports within the same part of the network to the blocking mode to avoid broadcast packet flooding. STP puts all the ports that are allowing redundant paths to blocking mode and the one port that is left after this is placed in forward mode.
Spanning Tree Algorithm is used by STP to determine the optimal path of switch to the network.
Bridge Protocol Data Units are used to share the information about the optimal path determined by the spanning tree algorithm with other switches.
This information helps STP to eliminate the redundant paths.
So this is how STP allows only one active path to the destination while blocking all other paths to avoid switching loop.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
The answer to this question is false. This is because the NVD doesn't perform such tests on their own. Instead they they rely on third-party vendors, software researchers, etc to get such reports and do the assignment of CVSS scores for softwares
The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) is the United State governments leading resource for software vulnerability
Answer:
Network Interface Card (NIC)
Explanation:
Also called Ethernet Card, the Network Interface Card (NIC) allows a computer or any device to make wired or wireless connections with other devices in a network. This connection made possible by the NIC allows the device to send and receive messages in the network.
An application of this is seen in Internet of Things(IoT) where devices communicate with one another. This is actually possible because all of the devices one way or the other have a network interface card.
The correct answer is A I believe.
