Edge Port

Answers
D.

Edge Port

Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

Comprehensive In RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol), the Alternate Port is the backup path to the root bridge. If the current root port fails, the Alternate Port immediately transitions to the forwarding state, providing a new path to the root bridge with minimal delay. This rapid transition is one of the key improvements of RSTP over the older STP protocol. Backup ports, on the other hand, provide redundancy on the same switch, and edge ports are used to connect directly to end devices.
