You have two switches connected together with two crossover cables for redundancy, and STP is disabled. Which of the following will happen between the switches?
A. The routing tables on the switches will not update.
B. The MAC forward/filter table will not update on the switch.
C. Broadcast storms will occur on the switched network.
D. The switches will automatically load-balance between the two links.
Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
If spanning tree is disabled on a switch and you have redundant links to another switch, broadcast storms will occur, among other possible problems.This Question Belongs to Networking >> Spanning Tree Protocol
What is the purpose of Spanning Tree Protocol in a switched LAN?
