Explain the role of redundancy in a converged network. Summarize how STP works to eliminate Layer 2 loops in a converged network. Explain how the STP algorithm uses three steps to converge on a loop-free topology. Implement rapid PVST+ in a LAN to prevent loops between redundant switches. Hierarchical design model addresses issues found in flat model networks. One of these issues is redundancy. Having multiple paths for data to travel the network allows for a single path to be disrupted without
