Question:
1.Given this design and assuming all switch connections were in place, how many links would be placed in a blocking state by the STP algorithm?
2.Assuming the switches are configured with suitable protocols, what would determine which switch became the root bridge? How could this be changed to ensure that the main switch was root?
3.Looking at this design, what are its potential weaknesses and strengths?
4.Having re-evaluated the requirements of the occupants of the building and looking at the expected network traffic between the occupants of floor 2 and 3, she comes up with a revised design. She is also mindful of resilience.
What would Janice need to ensure about the configuration of the switches, given the revised network layout?
