In RSTP (802.1w), besides discarding, which two port states does a port transition through? (Choose two.)

RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) simplifies the port states compared to original STP. The two port states a port transitions through, besides discarding, are learning and forwarding. Learning: In this state, the port processes BPDUs and populates its MAC address table but does not forward user traffic. This prevents temporary loops while the switch learns network topology. Forwarding: In this state, the port processes BPDUs, populates its MAC address table, and forwards user traffic. This is the normal operational state for a stable, loop-free path. Blocking (incorrect): This is an STP state. In RSTP, the equivalent is the discarding state, which combines blocking, listening, and disabled states from STP. Speaking (incorrect): This is not a standard RSTP port state. Listening (incorrect): This is an STP state, where the port processes BPDUs but does not learn MAC addresses or forward traffic. In RSTP, this functionality is integrated into the discarding state.
