Which scenario would result in a speed mismatch when configuring Ethernet devices with different speed settings?

The correct answer is A. One end is manually set to 1 Gbps, and the other end is manually set to 100 Mbps. A speed mismatch occurs when two connected Ethernet devices are configured to operate at different speeds. In scenario A, one device is manually set to 1 Gbps, while the other is set to 100 Mbps. Since both ends are hard-coded to different speeds, they cannot successfully…

Question

Which scenario would result in a speed mismatch when configuring Ethernet devices with different speed settings?

Options

  • AOne end is manually set to 1 Gbps, and the other end is manually set to 100 Mbps
  • BBoth ends are manually set to the same speed
  • COne end is manually set to 100 Mbps, and the other end is set to auto-negotiation
  • DBoth ends are set to auto-negotiation and fail, reverting to their lowest speeds

Explanation

A speed mismatch occurs when two connected Ethernet devices are configured to operate at different speeds. In scenario A, one device is manually set to 1 Gbps, while the other is set to 100 Mbps. Since both ends are hard-coded to different speeds, they cannot successfully negotiate a common speed, leading to a mismatch and resulting in a failed or unstable link.
