Which statement is a characteristic of the STP network diameter?
- STP diameters are restricted by convergence times.
- Layer 2 root elections should be optimized by adjusting BPDU timers to match network diameter.
- Using lower bandwidth connections between switches will allow STP to have a larger network diameter.
- Portfast can be used to increase the allowable switched network diameter because it disables the forward delay and maximum age timers.
Explanation: The optional diameter keyword in the spanning-tree vlan vlan-id root {primary | secondary} [diameter diameter] command allows for tuning of the STP convergence (and should reference the maximum number of Layer 2 hops a switch can be from the root bridge) and also modifies the timers.
