Redundant Links
Rev. 9.41 Module 5 – 125
Redundant link technology
Simply adding redundant physical links, however, will create network loops, resulting
in broadcast storms. Indeed, as broadcasts are forwarded by switches out every port
,
the switches will repeatedly rebroadcast broadcast messages and flood the network.
For an Ethernet network to function properly, only one active path can exist between
two devices.
