This question is making my head spin like a top! Where's the multiple choice option for 'I have no idea'?

Ooh, I bet the answer is D. Designated. That's the only one that makes sense to me. Unless... wait, is this a trick question?

Wait, didn't they say the ports are all connected? Shouldn't the Lag 1 interface be the Designated port then? Gotta think this through carefully.

Hmm, the ports are all point-to-point, and Switch-1 is not the root bridge. I'd say the Lag 1 interface will be assigned the Backup role. Easy peasy!

That's a good point, but I still think it will be Designated because of the connected point-to-point interfaces.

I disagree, I believe it will be Backup because Switch-1 is not the root bridge.
