Question

In many networks, redundant links and devices are often added to ensure the network remains available in the event of network failures. If one link stops working, the other link provides the connection paths. If this approach was used without a loop avoidance scheme however, broadcasts would loop and flood endlessly in the network, potentially disabling the network. In the network illustrated below, host F in LAN2 sends a frame to host A in LAN1. Explain how the MAC address table in the switches would be updated and suffer thrashing, and why the frame would be forwarded endlessly. Recreate necessary diagrams using following diagram required for your explanation to show the broadcasts. In your diagram show the MAC table updates for switch-1 and switch-2, location of frames in both LANs.
