200

These frames are used between switches to exchange STP information

What are BPDUs

200

These are the two EtherChannel negotiation protocols available on a Cisco switch

400

This is shared by multilayer switches running HSRP

What is IP address

600

This command in its entirety would set a trunk with standards-based tagging

What is #switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

600

This happens when a root bridge switch and another switch have mismatching STP Hello timer values

What is change its time to match the root bridge

600

This type of interface represents an EtherChannel as a whole

What is Port Channel

600

This FHRP enables preemption by default

800

These are the two components of CEF

What are FIB and Adjacency Table

800

This VTP mode does not allow any manual VLAN configuration changes

What is Client

800

This command would allow you to verify the current root bridge in VLAN 10

What are Disabled, Blocking, Listening, Learning, and Forwarding

1000

This logical operation is performed to calculate EtherChannel load balancing as a function of two IP addresses

What is XOR

1000

Name three of the six states HSRP must progress interfaces through

What are Disabled, Init, Listen, Speak, Standby, and Active
