Home Networking Spanning Tree Protocol Comments

  • Question
  • In which circumstance are multiple copies of the same unicast frame likely to be transmitted in a switched LAN?


  • Options
  • A. During high-traffic periods
  • B. After broken links are reestablished
  • C. When upper-layer protocols require high reliability
  • D. In an improperly implemented redundant topology

  • Correct Answer
  • In an improperly implemented redundant topology 

    Explanation
    If the Spanning Tree Protocol is not running on your switches and you connect them together with redundant links, you will have broadcast storms and multiple frame copies.
