What is the role of spanning tree protocol (STP) in a redundant Layer 2 network?

To encrypt traffic between switches

To prevent loops by blocking redundant paths while maintaining a loop-free logical topology

To aggregate multiple physical links into a single logical link

To provide a virtual default gateway for hosts

Which feature helps prevent ARP spoofing by validating ARP packets on a switch?

VLAN access control lists (VACLs)

Which protocol is used to provide a virtual default gateway for hosts, allowing failover if the primary router fails?

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)

Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)

What is the primary purpose of using stacked switches in a redundant network design?

To provide high availability by allowing another switch to take over if one fails

To eliminate the need for spanning tree protocol in the network

To increase the number of available VLANs on the network

To increase the physical distance between access layer switches
