   An access switch has two uplinks to a pair of distribution switches configured as a VLT. The access switch is configured with LACP to the VLT pair. What is the primary benefit of this configuration for the access layer?

   • AIt provides redundancy and increased bandwidth by using both uplinks simultaneously.
   • BIt simplifies VLAN configuration by using a single broadcast domain.
   • CIt eliminates the need for Spanning Tree Protocol on the access switch.
   • DIt allows the access switch to route between VLANs.

   A campus network is being redesigned to support a new building. The current design uses a three-tier architecture with two core switches. The new building will have its own distribution switches. To ensure high availability, the new distribution switches should be connected to both core switches. What is the primary consideration when connecting the new distribution switches to the core?

   • AConnect the distribution switches directly to each other instead of to the core.
   • BUse redundant links and configure routing or VLT to ensure failover if one core link fails.
   • CUse a single link to the core and rely on the access layer for redundancy.
   • DConnect the distribution switches to only one core switch to simplify configuration.
