Problem: Propose a tool-based approach to characterize an Ethernet Switch and its operational configuration
Step 1: Identify test cases (functional tests, robustness and performance tests, combinatorial tests of use cases):
For example:
1. Verification of port status
2. Verification of VLANs
3. Verification of Trunking ports
4. Verification of Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) configurations
5. Verification of the routing table (if the switch is a Layer 3 switch)
