A: FabricPath assigns a specific multicast (S,G) flow to one tree. A single (S,G) does not get load-balanced across multiple trees.

E: Overall multicast traffic across multiple (S,G) groups is distributed across multiple FabricPath trees, providing general load balancing and efficient link utilization across the fabric.

Why other options are incorrect:

B: Traffic load per tree may not be uniform due to different group distributions.

C: The assignment is done by the ingress switch based on hashing, not all leaf nodes assign the same tree.

D: Individual (S,G) flows do not get load-balanced across trees.

B: In transparent mode, the firewall operates at Layer 2 and can participate in STP to avoid loops.

C: Multicast traffic can traverse the firewall if allowed through transparent bridging rules.

Why other options are incorrect:

A: Transparent mode requires no change to IP addressing.

D: Transparent firewalls do not form routing adjacencies.

E: Routed mode firewalls operate at Layer 3; transparent mode does not insert router hops.

A (BPDU Guard on access ports): Prevents accidental connection of switches or bridging devices on access ports, which could cause unexpected topology changes or loops.

C (Root Guard on aggregation switch downlinks): Ensures access switches cannot send superior BPDUs to challenge aggregation switch root status, maintaining predictable STP root placement.

Why other options are incorrect:

B: Aggregation downlinks are not normally configured with BPDU Guard (since they expect BPDUs from access switches).

D: Root guard on access ports is unnecessary as those ports should not participate in STP.

E: Edge port (Rapid STP concept) is good for faster convergence but doesn't address stability.

F: STP root and backup root election is important but not a specific STP feature — this is a design decision, not a stability feature.
