The correct answer is B. REP converges faster than Spanning Tree, allowing for greater network availability. D. Running dual cables from access switches to an aggregation switch can have a much higher cost. See the full explanation below for the reasoning.
Question
It is common to use Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) on the manufacturing floor as a resiliency protocol, as opposed to the Enterprise where it is not generally deployed. What are two reasons why REP is more suitable for the plant floor? (Choose two)
Options
- AREP is only supported on Industrial Ethernet switches, it is not supported on Catalyst switches.
- BREP converges faster than Spanning Tree, allowing for greater network availability.
- CREP supports Industrial Ethernet protocols better because it moves the packets faster.
- DRunning dual cables from access switches to an aggregation switch can have a much higher cost
- EIndustrial protocols can be negatively impacted by the number of nodes the Ethernet frame
