[All 200-301 Questions]

A client experiences slow throughput from a server that is directly connected to the core switch in a data center. A network engineer finds minimal latency on connections to the server, but data transfers are unreliable, and the output of the show interfaces counters errors command shows a high FCS-Err count on the interface that is connected to the server. What is the cause of the throughput issue?

  • A. a physical cable fault
  • B. a speed mismatch
  • C. high bandwidth usage
  • D. a cable that is too long

Exactly, the way CISCO sets their exams you can't just do it from reading a textbook.

Absolutely agree! And they have the audacity to frown upon dumps when they themselves make the exams impossible to pass just by studying "fairly".

long cable = late collisions speed mismatch = port wont go up/up int the first place high bandwidth = not a reason for detecting FCS errors

believe correct answer is C: high bandwidth usage. Cable faulty will cut off communication, question relates to slow connection. Latency is ok, so it means cable long is ok, speed o duplex mismatch will cut off comunication as well, so better answer will be C.

Selected Answer: A
The cause of the throughput issue described in the scenario is a physical cable fault. The scenario mentions that the network engineer found minimal latency on connections to the server, but data transfers are unreliable, and the output of the "show interfaces counters errors" command shows a high FCS-Err count on the interface that is connected to the server. FCS-Err (Frame Check Sequence error) indicates that there is a physical issue with the cable, such as noise or interference, that is causing the data transfer errors. A speed mismatch or high bandwidth usage may cause slow throughput or delays, but it would not cause FCS-Err errors. Similarly, a cable that is too long may cause signal attenuation, but it would not cause FCS-Err errors. Therefore, the answer to the question "What is the cause of the throughput issue?" is A. a physical cable fault.

Selected Answer: A
The cause of the throughput issue is most likely a physical cable fault. The high FCS-Err count on the interface indicates that there are frame check sequence errors occurring on the link between the switch and the server. These errors are typically caused by a physical problem with the cable or the network interface card (NIC) on either end of the link.

Anyone know why is it not D? Is it because we don't know anything about the cable; IE too specific without justification?

I guessed that it was not D because in the case of having a too long cable, the incremented counter would be also "Late collisions"

But late collision is an output error, and CRC is an input error
