In which circumstance are multiple copies of the same unicast frame likely to be transmitted in a switched LAN?

  • A.During high-traffic periods
  • B.After broken links are reestablished
  • C.When upper-layer protocols require high reliability
  • D.In an improperly implemented redundant topology

Answer: D

Correct answer: In an improperly implemented redundant topology

Without STP a redundant topology gives a frame more than one path, so copies circulate and are delivered repeatedly - and because an Ethernet frame carries no time-to-live, nothing stops them. Multiple frame copies, MAC table instability and broadcast storms are the three classic symptoms of a layer 2 loop, and they appear together.
