A Switched Network Is Being Deployed on a Factory Floor

question 578

Multiple Choice

A switched network is being deployed on a factory floor. Due to cost constraints, fiber-based connectivity is not an option. Which design allows for a stable network when there is a risk of interference from the manufacturing hardware in use on the factory floor?

• A) Design the network to include loop guard to prevent a loop in the switched network when a link has too much interference
• B) Design the network to include backbone fast on all devices to accelerate failure convergence times
• C) Design the network to include UDLD to detect unidirectional links and take them out of service
• D) Design the network to include EtherChannel bundles to prevent a single-link failure from taking down a switch interconnection point
