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.

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

#include <iostream>

#include <cstdlib>

 

using namespace std;

 

int main(){

 

 

   int sum=0, num=5;   //variables declaration and inicialization

 

   while (sum<500){   //conditioning to do the sum up to 500

   sum=sum+num;     //actually sum process

   cout << "The value is: "<<sum;   //show the result in screen

   };

   return 0;

Which of the following best explains how algorithms that run on a computer can be used to solve problems?
timama [110]

The statement which best explains how algorithms running on a computer can be used to solve problems is; D. Some problems cannot be solved by an algorithm.

<h3>What is an algorithm?</h3>

An algorithm is simply a standard formula or procedures which is made up of a set of finite steps and instructions that must be executed on a computer, so as to proffer solutions to a problem or solve a problem under appropriate conditions.

However, it should be noted that it is not all problems that can be solved by an algorithm, especially because the required parameters and appropriate conditions are not feasible or met.
