Refer to the exhibit. An engineer with an employee ID: 1234:56:789 must design a WoL deployment for a client, and the design must ensure that the Windows PCs are responsive to the WoL magic packets with no delays when the server-side initiates the instruction. Which action must the engineer choose?

Question

Accepted Answer

C. Spanning-tree PortFast must be enabled on all interfaces where clients reside. Spanning-tree PortFast immediately transitions a port to the forwarding state upon link-up, bypassing the normal Spanning-Tree Protocol listening and learning states. This eliminates the typical 30-50 second delay for the PC's network interface to become active, ensuring the PC is network-responsive immediately after waking up via WoL and thereby meeting the "no delays" requirement.

Answer

A. IP-directed broadcast must be disabled on all interfaces where clients reside. Disabling IP-directed broadcast would prevent Wake-on-LAN magic packets from being routed across different subnets, potentially hindering the WoL functionality if the sender is not on the local subnet.

Answer

B. WoL must be enabled on the networking card and disabled in the Windows PCs BIOS. Wake-on-LAN functionality requires it to be enabled in both the networking card settings within the operating system and the system's BIOS/UEFI settings; disabling it in the BIOS would prevent WoL from working.

Answer

D. IP forward protocol must be disabled on all interfaces where clients reside. IP forwarding is a Layer 3 routing function, and disabling it on Layer 2 access interfaces connected to client PCs is irrelevant to Wake-on-LAN operation or network responsiveness.
