In which of the following types of network would STP be used?
A.
An MPLS network with multiple LSPs to the same LER.
B.
An Ethernet network with redundant paths.
C.
An OSPF network with multiple equal-cost paths.
D.
An eBGP network with multiple ASes.
The Answer Is:
B
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)is used specifically inEthernet Layer 2 networkstoprevent loopscaused byredundant paths.
STPdetects loops and blocks one or more redundant pathsto ensure there is aloop-free topologyin a bridged network.
STP dynamicallyrecalculates the topologyif a link fails, reactivating previously blocked paths.
Explanation of other options:
A. MPLS with LSPs:MPLS uses its own mechanisms for path management, such as RSVP or Segment Routing. STP is not applicable here.
C. OSPF with ECMP (Equal-Cost Multi-Path):OSPF is a Layer 3 protocol that inherently supports multiple paths without loops; STP is not involved.
D. eBGP (Exterior Border Gateway Protocol):Operates at Layer 3 for inter-AS communication; STP is not used in BGP routing.
Therefore,Option Bis correct, as STP is explicitly designed forLayer 2 Ethernet networkswithredundant paths.
