What does RSTP need, for a point-to-point connection between switches to achieve high speeds?
A
PortFast
B
Full-Duplex
C
UplinkFast
D
Backbone Fast
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -RSTP adds new bridge port roles in order to speed convergence following a link failure: Root-A forwarding port that is the best port from non-root bridge to root bridge. Designated-A forwarding port for every LAN segment. Alternate-An alternate path to the root bridge.

Detailed explanation-2: -Synchronization. To participate in RSTP convergence, a switch must decide the state of each of its ports. Nonedge ports begin in the Discarding state. After BPDUs are exchanged between the switch and its neighbor, the Root Bridge can be identified.
