The administrator of a small branch office wants to implement the Layer 2 network without running STP. The office has some redundant paths. Which mechanism can the administrator use to allow redundancy without creating Layer 2 loops?
B (Flex Links): Flex Links provide an alternative to Spanning Tree in simple Layer 2 designs. One link is active while the other is backup, preventing loops while maintaining redundancy without running STP.
Other options explained:
A: vPC requires more advanced hardware and configuration.
C: FabricPath is typically used in data centers, not small branches.
D: 802.3ad is link aggregation, not redundant path management.
