N10-005 Question #905: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is B: QoS. When deploying VoIP phones on a PoE switch, QoS must be configured to prioritize voice packets and guarantee the low latency and jitter that voice calls require.

Question

A technician is installing a PoE switch for VoIP phones. Which of the following is the technician MOST likely going to configure on the switch?

Options

  • ANAT
  • BQoS
  • CPAT
  • DDHCP

Explanation

When deploying VoIP phones on a PoE switch, QoS must be configured to prioritize voice packets and guarantee the low latency and jitter that voice calls require.

Common mistakes.

  • A. NAT (Network Address Translation) translates private IP addresses to public ones at a router or firewall and does not affect traffic prioritization on the switch.
  • C. PAT (Port Address Translation) is a form of NAT that maps multiple private addresses to a single public IP using port numbers; it has no role in traffic prioritization for VoIP.
  • D. DHCP assigns IP addresses to devices automatically; while phones need IP addresses, DHCP configuration alone does not ensure the voice traffic quality required for VoIP calls.
