Q1:

You have two switches connected together with two crossover cables for redundancy, and STP is disabled. Which of the following will happen between the switches?

A The routing tables on the switches will not update.

B The MAC forward/filter table will not update on the switch.

C Broadcast storms will occur on the switched network.
