What two features does Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) provide to ensure proper network operations? (Choose two.)

What two features does Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) provide to ensure proper network operations? (Choose two.)

• Implementing VLANs to contain broadcasts
• Link-state dynamic routing that provides redundant routes
• Redundant links between Layer 2 switches
• Removing single points of failure with multiple Layer 2 switches
• Static default routes

Explanation: Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is required to ensure correct network operation when designing a network with multiple interconnected Layer 2 switches or using redundant links to eliminate single points of failure between Layer 2 switches. Routing is a Layer 3 function and does not relate to STP. VLANs do reduce the number of broadcast domains but relate to Layer 3 subnets, not STP.
