I think we should reveal the designer name for future references. He has done terrible job in designing like this. Just to lighten up the mood. on serious not what if we have switch interface (SVI) on the router it could work but not as intended

C is correct! Each router interface Must be in different network.

Router interfaces should be configured with IP address from different networks. 192.168.1.1/24 and 192.168.1.2/24 belongs to the same network

Based on the drawing it seems they are L2 switches so yeah router wont accept as it would need minimum 2 subnets to be able to differentiate WAN from LAN

The two switch ought to model the spine-leaf network architecture to create a redundant network; that is, every host must have one connection to each switch, in case one of the switch goes inactive the other takes the relay.

why in packet tracer a router accepts 192.168.1.1 /24 in one interface and 192.168.1.2 in another interface? And, the switches are connected toghether... so, if there was 2 different subnets this link were nonsese... I don't understand...

Badly worded question. Not enough info is given. If these are L2 switches, then C is correct. That was probably the author's intention. However, if they are L3 switches, then C would be wrong, so D would be the answer. I think C is the answer they want.

By the switch diagram, it is clear as L2 switch, if it is an L3 switch you would find the icon of multilayer switch.

If it was an L3 SW why would they show a router? I guess it was safe to assume.

Selected Answer: C
The link between the two switches creates a single broadcast domain. And a broadcast domain maps to a subnet. Any interface on Router1 must be assigned to a subnet which is distinct from every other interface. But, in this case, the network design doesn’t comply with such requirement. A. This design will function as intended. Wrong answer. B. Spanning-tree will need to be used. Wrong answer. C. The router will not accept the addressing scheme. Correct answer. D. The connection between switches should be a trunk. Wrong answer. E. The router interfaces must be encapsulated with the 802.1Q protocol. Wrong answer.

I believe L2 switches with different IP subnet can't create the link and they don't know how to route.

The network needs to be designed properly before STP (PVST+ or other) can be used. According to the diagram, best answer that fits is C as router will not accept multiple IPs from the same subnet.

STP is needed to avoid packet loops on layer 2. The router does not forward layer 2 broadcast on routed interfaces, so there is no loop created, which would makes STP necessary.
