Explanation
If the primary switch fails, IRF instantly selects a new primary, preventing service interruption and helping to deliver network, application, and business continuity for business-critical applications. Should a network failure occur, IRF can deliver rapid recovery and network reconvergence in under 50 milliseconds--much faster than the several seconds required for STP. Incorrect answers: A: This is true for STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) only. C: IRF is more resilient, see below. However, IRF is takes less time to configure compared to STP.
