>Can someone please help me with the following question?
>
>On page 90 of Todd Lammle's CCNA study guide, it asks the question:
>What is used to determine the designated port on a bridge?
>A. Priority
>B. Cost of the links attached to the switch
>C. MAC Address
>D. IP Address
>
>According to the answer at the end of the chapter, is says the answer is B.
>For switches to determine the designated ports, the cost of the links
>attached to each switch is used.
>
>But on page 84, it reads: To determine the designated ports on the
>switches, the bridge ID is used. On page 80 it reads: The bridge ID is 8
>bytes long and includes the priority and the MAC address of the device.
>
>So , as far as I can see, the answer should be A.
>
>Or does it mean that when determining the designated port, you must first
>look at the cost to the root bridge, and then at the bridge ID?
>
>Am I missing something here?

>Thank you
