A technician is contracted to install a redundant cluster of devices from the ISP in case of hardware failure within the network. Which of the following would provide BEST redundant solution in Layer 2 devices?
Multiple switches are good to act as a cluster of redundant networking devices to connect other devices from MDF to IDFs & provide failover redundancy, routers work to connect different IDFs between each other & the MDF. Firewalls add port security between connected devices & a bridge would create a link between separate clusters.

The correct answer is B. Multiple switches.
A switch is a device that connects devices on a network by using packet switching to receive, process and forward data to the destination device. Switches are used in most modern networks, as they are more efficient than hubs and can handle more traffic.
A redundant cluster of switches is a group of switches that are connected together in such a way that if one switch fails, the other switches will continue to operate. This provides a high level of redundancy and ensures that the network will continue to function even if there is a hardware failure.
Bridge is considered a layer 1 device because it just blindly forwards traffic. So, the answer is switch
