200-301 Question #1365: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Which interface condition is occurring in this output?

Options

• Aduplex mismatch
• Bhigh throughput
• Cbad NIC
• Dbroadcast storm

Explanation

The question asks to identify an interface condition based on a provided output, with the correct answer implying a state of high traffic volume.

Common mistakes.

• A. Duplex mismatch typically results in significant collision and error counters, not just high throughput, and often severely degraded performance rather than clean high traffic.
• C. A bad NIC (Network Interface Card) might show errors, dropped packets, or no link, but 'high throughput' itself doesn't directly point to a faulty NIC.
• D. A broadcast storm would show an excessive amount of broadcast traffic, often accompanied by high CPU utilization on devices, and would likely degrade performance rather than just indicating clean high throughput.
