What commands would you use to list the STP interface status of fa0/1 on a Cisco 2960 switch? (Choose two answers.)

To list the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) interface status specifically for the FastEthernet interface fa0/1 on a Cisco 2960 switch, the appropriate command is "show spanning-tree interface fastethernet 0/1." This command provides detailed information about the STP state and configuration of that specific interface, including the role of the port (such as root port or designated port) and its status (whether it is forwarding or blocking).

Using this command allows network administrators to gain insights into how the STP protocol is operating on that interface, which is essential for troubleshooting STP-related issues, ensuring network redundancy, and analyzing the behavior of switch ports within the network topology.

While other options might provide useful information, they do not specifically focus on the STP status for the given interface. For example, "show spanning-tree" gives a broader overview of STP across all interfaces but does not target a single one. Meanwhile, "show interfaces status" might display the up/down status of interfaces but lacks STP-specific details. Therefore, the emphasis on the direct command for the interface in question is critical for precise troubleshooting and understanding of the STP process on that switch port.
