What is the primary function of the Root Bridge in a network using Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)?
It directly manages the distribution of VLAN assignments.
It serves as the reference point for all path calculations to prevent loops.
It assigns IP addresses to all devices within the network.
It encrypts data traffic between switches.
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.
