Question 820
At Lakeside Classroom, a print-server connection runs at 100 Mb/s though both devices support 1 Gb/s and auto-negotiation was disabled at one end. What safety boundary prevents the same campus failure in future deployments?
Explanation
Correct Answer
For Lakeside Classroom, the decisive mechanism is Ethernet negotiation and duplex. 802.3 physical link negotiation precedes Layer 2 and Layer 3 service validation. Preserve approved transceiver and link-setting baselines for any future port migration is an enduring limitation on the operational risk, not simply a one-time passing test.
Incorrect Answers
This is relevant to 802.1X EAPOL versus IP service, where 802.1X is port-based access control; IP configuration occurs after network admission In the Lakeside Classroom case, A precaution for another failure mode is not the enduring boundary needed here. The specific mechanism is 802.3 physical link negotiation precedes Layer 2 and Layer 3 service validation
This is relevant to 802.1Q VLAN tagging, where 802.1Q tagging preserves logical broadcast-domain identity over shared Ethernet links In the Lakeside Classroom case, A precaution for another failure mode is not the enduring boundary needed here. The specific mechanism is 802.3 physical link negotiation precedes Layer 2 and Layer 3 service validation
This is relevant to 802.11 association sequence, where 802.11 discovery and association occur before user traffic can be successfully forwarded In the Lakeside Classroom case, A precaution for another failure mode is not the enduring boundary needed here. The specific mechanism is 802.3 physical link negotiation precedes Layer 2 and Layer 3 service validation
