What is the primary function of the Root Bridge in a network using Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)?
It assigns IP addresses to all devices within the network.
It directly manages the distribution of VLAN assignments.
It encrypts data traffic between switches.
It serves as the reference point for all path calculations to prevent loops.
The Root Bridge acts as a central reference point in an STP-enabled environment, effectively preventing loops in a network by ensuring that there is only one active path between network devices. The other answers suggest roles that do not describe the function of the Root Bridge in STP. Understanding the function of the Root Bridge is key to implementing and troubleshooting STP correctly in a network.
