What is one way to correct a spanning tree failure?
- Replace the cables on failed STP links.
- Manually remove redundant links in the switched network.
- Insert redundant links to replace the failed STP links.
- Replace all instances of STP with RSTP.
Explanation: An action that can be taken when there is a spanning tree failure in a Layer 2 network is to remove all redundant links in the failed segment of the network. This will eliminate the loops in the topology allowing for a normalization of the traffic and CPU loads. The next step would be to investigate the failure of STP on the redundant links and fix these issues prior to restoring these links.
