What is the purpose of network redundancy and automatic failover?

To reduce the number of network devices needed

To increase the speed of a single network connection

To prevent a single point of failure by providing backup components that take over automatically

How does Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) differ from STP?

RSTP encrypts all switch-to-switch communication

RSTP eliminates the need for redundant links

RSTP allows multiple active paths simultaneously

RSTP provides faster convergence when the network topology changes

A company runs a critical application on two servers in a cluster. The application is accessed via a single IP address that clients use. If the primary server fails, the IP address should automatically move to the secondary server. What should be configured?

A floating (virtual) IP address managed by the cluster software

A static IP address on each server

Link aggregation between the two servers

A network administrator is designing a server connection with two 10 Gbps NICs connected to two different switches. The administrator wants to maximize throughput and provide failover if a NIC or switch fails. The switches do not support link aggregation control protocol (LACP). What is the best approach?

Enable STP on the server's NICs.

Use NIC teaming with failover only, not load balancing.

Configure static link aggregation on both switches and the server.

What is the primary purpose of network-based fault tolerance techniques in a data protection environment?

To increase the physical distance between data centers

To reduce the number of network devices required in the infrastructure

To maintain network availability and data accessibility despite component failures

To encrypt all data transmitted across the network
