Clearly, the issue is that the port costs are equal. They need to be different to ensure proper load balancing and redundancy.

Haha, the engineers must have been having a tech-comedy show when they set this up. RSTP, really? That's like using a rubber hammer to fix a leaky faucet.

C'mon, link aggregation is the way to go! Spread that traffic across multiple ports for maximum efficiency.

Aha! The root bridge needs to be identified. That must be the issue here. The switches are fighting over who's the boss.

Wait, shouldn't the port costs be different? I thought redundancy meant having different paths with varying costs.

Ah, I see the problem. The switch should be configured for RSTP to handle this situation and avoid the network outage. D is the way to go.

Haha, this is like a game of musical chairs for network devices! The engineers need to figure out who's the 'root' switch before the users get disconnected.

I think the issue is that the port costs are equal, which can cause a network loop. The ports should have different costs to avoid this problem.

I agree with Goldie, the port cost should be different for proper spanning tree operation.

Hmm, the ports have the same cost, so a root bridge needs to be identified to avoid a network loop. C seems like the correct answer here.
