RE: ASET, How do you interpret this question?

G2,

It's gauging if you understand how to use the primary and secondary root commands vs just apply priority 0 and priority 4096. I can see how it's confusing, so I would walk that one up to you local proctor for a clarification.

How do you guys interpret this question?

SPANNING TREE:
-STP parameters for VLANs 1,10,20,30,40,100,200 and 300 should be
dictated by SW1. SW2 should be the secondary root. SW2, SW3, and SW4
should not be root bridge for any VLANs.
-The primary and secondary priorities should be at their default values.

When I see the second bullet saying "primary and secondary priorities
should be at their default values", that tells me that I cannot modify
SW1 and SW2. Not even with the "spanning-tree vlan X root primary" or
"secondary" command. So my solution was to just change the priorities
for SW3 and SW4 to be higher than SW1/SW2. SW1 was already the root
bridge so SW2 was the secondary by default.

However, the answer to this question did use the "spanning-tree vlan X
root primary & secondary" command.

Am I missing something or is this just poorly worded?

Thanks,
Gary
