I'm going with A. Losing 50% of network capacity sounds like a nightmare, but it's better than the peer switch rebooting and taking down the whole network, right?

Haha, D for sure! MLAG is like a magic bullet for network problems. We should just enable it and forget about it. What could possibly go wrong?

I'm not sure, but I think the answer might be C. The peer switch sends out gratuitous BPDUs to let the network know that it has assumed the root-bridge role.

I don't know, man. These MLAG questions always confuse me. Maybe D is the right answer - nothing bad ever happens with MLAG, right? That's what the marketing says, at least.

I agree with Sunshine. It makes sense for both switches to reboot to maintain network stability.

I'm pretty sure the correct answer is B. When one MLAG switch reboots, the peer also reboots to ensure network stability. I've seen this happen in production before.
