In the following figure, what can you conclude about the interface or node?
Answer Options
There are no problems with the interface.
The interface is auto-negotiating speed and duplex.
There are a large number of broadcasts.
The node needs a faster network interface.
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
The txload and rxload counters are extremely high. This depicts that the interface is not fast enough for the data being transferred. The speed and duplex currently are 10 Mb/s and full-duplex. However, the interface on the switch is capable of 100 Mb/s. It is recommended to upgrade the node's NIC. Although there are no major problems with the interface, the counters depict congestion on the interface. The figure shows no evidence that the interface is auto-negotiating speed and duplex. Although there are a large number of broadcasts, this is not a problem compared to the load on the interface.
