Question

After estimating and completing support for high-definition IP cameras to improve security for DeVry University, you have completed a design of network switching infrastructure that fully supports both existing data traffic and the additional HD camera traffic, according to requests. Last week, you discussed your template of configurations with network manager.

More than the past couple of months, the university has knowledgeable a number of issues with Layer 2 loops and the loss of VLANs. We exposed that a student connected a switch that was purchased at a local garage sale to network and inadvertently bridged the network, because a Layer 2 loop. The switch also wiped out the VLANs on upstream switches. Be sure to explain how your implementation will prevent this type of problem in the future.

Your manager is disturbed with the network's inability to self-heal while experiencing these types of network issues. As network engineer, he has asked you to do a network assessment on the network's health and how to prepare network for any future STP and VTP issues.
