When using the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) to eliminate the problem of accidental bridging loops, what happens if a link or device goes down?
What will be an ideal response?
If a link or device goes down, STP springs into action with another type of BPDU, called a topology change notification (TCN) BPDU that enables the switches to rework themselves around the failed interface or device. The blocked ports, listening to the BPDUs, will realize they're needed and eventually move to a forwarding state.
