8. Which two statements describe the BIDs used in a spanning tree topology? (Choose two.)

Explanation

The BIDs (Bridge IDs) used in a spanning tree topology consist of a bridge priority and MAC address. This information is used by the switches in the topology to elect the root bridge. The bridge priority determines the likelihood of a switch becoming the root bridge, with lower values being preferred. The MAC address is used as a tiebreaker if two switches have the same bridge priority. Therefore, the BIDs play a crucial role in determining the root bridge and establishing the spanning tree topology.
