   A small college campus has 12 access-layer switches spread across three buildings. The network team wants to reduce the number of management IP addresses and simplify VLAN configuration across all access ports. Each building has a fiber backbone to the core. What should the team implement?

   • ADeploy a new core switch and use VLT to connect all access switches.
   • BStack the switches within each building into a single logical unit, managing each building's stack separately.
   • CConfigure each switch independently with unique VLANs and management IPs.
   • DStack all 12 switches into one logical unit across the three buildings using long-haul stacking cables.

   A network engineer is planning to stack four Dell PowerSwitch N3200 series switches. The engineer needs to ensure the stack has high-bandwidth interconnects and can survive the failure of one stacking link. Which configuration should be used?

   • AConnect all stacking ports to a single central switch.
   • BUse a single stacking cable between the first and last switch only.
   • CCreate a ring topology using two stacking cables per switch.
   • DCreate a daisy-chain topology with one cable between each switch.
