Adam has encountered issues with users connecting cables between switches on his network, creating multiple paths to the same destination for systems on the network. This leads to broadcast storms that result in network outages. What setting should he enable on his switches to prevent this from happening in the future?

Loop protection is designed to identify precisely this kind of problem. Loop protection is a feature that helps to prevent network outages caused by loops in the network topology. Loops can occur when there are multiple paths between two points in the network, and packets are sent back and forth between them endlessly, causing a broadcast storm that can bring down the entire network. To prevent this, loop protection sends out packets with a PDU that are recognized by other network devices. If a device detects such a packet on one of its ports, it means that there is a loop in the network, and the device will shut down the port to prevent the loop from continuing. This allows the network to continue functioning normally without any disruption caused by the loop. Loop protection is typically enabled on switches and can be configured to suit the specific needs of the network. It is an essential feature for maintaining network stability and preventing outages caused by loops in the network topology. The other options provided in the question are fictitious.
