Arista Certified Engineer – Associate (ACE-A) — Question 46

Arista MLAG uses which of the following protocols for inter-switch communication?

Answer options

• A. BGP
• B. IEEE 1588
• C. STP
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, STP, as it is used to prevent loops in a network and facilitate switch communication in MLAG setups. Options A (BGP) and B (IEEE 1588) are not specifically used for inter-switch communication in this context, and D is incorrect since STP is indeed used.
