I’m leaning towards A) The same as the number of alternate ports. It fits the definition.

I think the answer is D) 1 per switch. Makes sense for spanning tree.

I feel like it’s one designated port per switch, but I might be mixing it up with root ports.

I’m a bit confused; does the number of designated ports change with the number of switches?

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think the answer was related to the number of segments in the topology.

I think there’s usually one designated port per segment, but I’m not entirely sure if that’s always the case.
