[c-nsp] Applying cisco REP

[Michael K. Smith - Adhost]

Hello:

The one limitation of REP is no spanning tree.  So, if you're doing anything with a switch connected to two switches on the ring and using STP for redundancy, you'll need to modify your design to use something like a backup interface.  

Regards,

Mike
