Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Enter interface configuration mode
The correct order for activating STP root guard and loop guard begins with entering interface configuration mode (A), then configuring root guard with 'spanning-tree guard root' (B), followed by loop guard with 'spanning-tree guard loop' (C). After configuration, verification of port role and protection status (D) ensures the guards are active. Step E (port moves to root-inconsistent state if superior BPDU received) is not an activation step but a reactive event that occurs when root guard triggers; it is placed last as the expected outcome.
