Redundant Trunk Groups (RTGs) on EX Series switches provide a simple solution for network recovery when a trunk port on a switch goes down 1 .  They are configured on the access switch and contain two links: a primary or active link, and a secondary link 1 .  Therefore, option B is correct because if the active link fails, the secondary link automatically starts forwarding data traffic without waiting for normal spanning-tree protocol convergence 1 .

Option D is also correct.  In a typical enterprise network composed of distribution and access layers, RTGs are used where one Access switch is connected to two different uplink switches 2 .  This implies that RTGs must be connected to the same aggregation switch 2 .

A  is correct because dynamic ARP inspection (DAI) is a Layer 2 security feature that prevents ARP spoofing attacks. ARP spoofing is a technique that allows an attacker to send fake ARP messages to associate a spoofed MAC address with a legitimate IP address. This can result in traffic redirection, man-in-the-middle attacks, or denial-of-service attacks.  DAI validates ARP packets by checking the source MAC address and IP address against a trusted database, which is usually built by DHCP snooping 1 .  DAI discards any ARP packets that do not match the database or have invalid formats 1 .

C  is correct because DHCP snooping is a Layer 2 security feature that prevents DHCP spoofing attacks. DHCP spoofing is a technique that allows an attacker to act as a rogue DHCP server and offer fake IP addresses and other network parameters to unsuspecting clients. This can result in traffic redirection, man-in-the-middle attacks, or denial-of-service attacks. DHCP snooping filters DHCP messages by classifying switch ports as trusted or untrusted.  Trusted ports are allowed to send and receive any DHCP messages, while untrusted ports are allowed to send only DHCP requests and receive only valid DHCP replies from trusted ports 2 .  DHCP snooping also builds a database of MAC addresses, IP addresses, lease times, and binding types for each client 2 .

Option A is correct. Creating multiple areas in OSPF can help to reduce the convergence time . This is because changes in one area do not affect other areas, so fewer routers need to run the SPF algorithm in response to a change.

Option D is correct. Creating multiple areas in OSPF can help to reduce Link State Advertisement (LSA) flooding across the network. This is because LSAs are not flooded out of their area of origin.
