What is the primary consequence of a speed mismatch between two connected Ethernet devices?

• The connection will operate at the lowest common speed.

• The connection will operate at half-duplex mode.

• The connection will not establish at all.

• The connection will experience very poor performance.

Which of the following is NOT a required component for basic IP address management on a network interface?

• IP address

• Subnet mask

What is the primary purpose of Link Aggregation (LAG) between two network switches?

• To prevent network loops.

• To combine multiple physical interfaces into a single logical interface for increased throughput.

• To automatically assign IP addresses to connected devices.

What is a key requirement for successfully utilizing jumbo frames across a network path?

• Only the source device needs to support jumbo frames.

• All devices in the communication path must support jumbo frames.

• Jumbo frames are only compatible with fiber optic connections.
