Which port state is introduced by Rapid-PVST?
Options
A. learning
B. listening

Answer: C
Explanation:PVST+ is based on IEEE802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). But PVST+ has only 3 portstates (discarding, learning and forwarding) while STP has 5 port states (blocking, listening,
learning, forwarding and disabled). So discarding is a new port state in PVST+.
