What is considered a best practice for an optimal redundant network?

* Access switches should have redundant * Dual distribution switches should connect individually to separate core switches.

connections to redundant distribution * Access switches should have redundant connections to redundant distribution switches.

* Access switches should have a backup connection to at least one core device

switches. * Three distribution switches should be implemented so that the third switch can take the role of active or standby, as
necessary.

When using RPR, what two events can trigger a switchover from the active to the standby Supervisor Engine? (Choose
