Answer choices

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

set protocols rstp interface ge-0/0/10.0 disable

To disable RSTP on a specific interface while running it globally, you can deactivate or disable the interface under the rstp protocols hierarchy, or configure it appropriately. In Junos, you can use 'disable' under protocols rstp interface.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • delete protocols rstp

    Why it's wrong here

    This disables RSTP globally across the entire switch.

  • set protocols rstp interface ge-0/0/10.0 disable

    Why this is correct

    This command disables RSTP on the specified interface while leaving it active on other ports.

  • set interfaces ge-0/0/10.0 spanning-tree disable

    Why it's wrong here

    Incorrect hierarchy path for Junos.

  • set protocols rstp interface ge-0/0/10.0 mode off

    Why it's wrong here

    'mode off' is not a valid Junos RSTP option.
