Network Fundamentals

What is a characteristic of spine-and-leaf architecture?

  • A Each link between leaf switches allows for higher bandwidth.
  • B It provides greater predictability on STP blocked ports.
  • C It provides variable latency.
  • D Each device is separated by the same number of hops.
Explanation

In a spine-and-leaf topology, each leaf switch connects to the spine layer, and traffic between attached devices follows a consistent path through the fabric. Because the design creates uniform path lengths across the network, devices are typically separated by the same number of hops, which is one of the main reasons the architecture provides predictable performance.
