A redundant network is one which has some extra capacity, in case certain components fail. It is just like having a spare wheel in your car. You don't need it all the time, but it is there, just in case one of the other wheels fail.
For example, you can have more cable connections between switches or other pieces of equipment than what is absolutely required for the basic working of the network. In this case, if one connection fails, it is possible that data can still be sent over another connection.
You can also has spare switches, spare routers, or spare servers, but that is more expensive, and in some cases complicated to configure. You must weigh the cost of these equipments, against the cost of network downtime.

How does Spanning Tree Protocol aid network architecture?
Allows for redundant links by eliminating loops.
What is NAS storage?
Network Attached Storage. The word "storage" in the question is redundant, as the S in NAS is "Storage" It's an enclosure holding a large amount of RAID disk storage, which is directly attached to the network. The NAS does not need a decicated computer system to run it, as the enclosure contains the network interface card (or cards if it is connected to multiple network ports), and all of the required control circuitry.
One of the benefits of using redundant back-up systems is?
Increased reliability
What is a network password given by the network?

What is the best routing solution for a network that includes redundant links?
Spanning tree protocol locates all links in the network and shuts down redundant links, which stops the occurrence of network loops.
Which problem is caused by redundant connections in a network?
Switch loops
Which network topology provides a redundant path to transmit data?
bus
How does Spanning Tree Protocol aid network architecture?
Allows for redundant links by eliminating loops.
What are three characteristics of network reliability?
Redundant hardware provides enhanced reliability. Fault tolerance is a measure of reliability. The longer the MTBF, the greater the reliability.
What are the advantages of having a redundant network?
If you look at redundant networks in nature, like the network of the veins within a leaf you may realize that redundancy creates resilience. Often leaves are subjected to parasites or physical damage. If a vital vein is struck in a network without redundancy it would mean all tissues or nodes which it previously fed into would be effectively annihilated from the network (death). A redundant network overcomes this problem by spreading out the risk. From a Computational standpoint this would be the same problem. Often critical layers of a network if left without connectivity would create critical failures for parts of the network which may be dependent on its activity. Such is the nature of hierarchy.
How do you setup a network of laptops in such a way that you don't lose any information when one of them breaks or gets stolen?
What you're looking for - is a RAID network. RAID stands for either redundant array (of) inexpensive disks or redundant array of independent disks) There is a comprehensive article on Wikipedia on how the system works.
What will happen when a SINGLE connection to one of the network hosts in a full mesh network fails?
Nothing should happen; that is reason you have fully redundant links, in case a link fails.
Advantages of Mesh Topology?
1.easy to expand 2.mesh network in which multiple redundant links exist between multiple nodes
Is four legs on a stool active redundant or passive redundant?
it is passive redundant...
Is it redundant with or redundant to?
A and B are redundant. There is redundancy between A and B.Both "with" and "to" are awkward, if not incorrect.
