A switch is connected to another switch. Incompatible hardware causes a surge in traffic on both switches. Which of the following configurations will cause traffic to pause, allowing the switches to drain buffers?
Comptia book...IEEE 802.3x flow control allows a server to instruct the switch to pause traffic temporarily to avoid overwhelming its buffer and causing it to drop frames.
The configuration that will cause traffic to pause and allow the switches to drain buffers in the context of a surge in traffic due to incompatible hardware is:
B. Flow control
Flow control is a mechanism used to manage the flow of data between network devices. When a surge in traffic occurs and one device is overwhelmed, flow control can be employed to pause or slow down the transmission of data, giving the overwhelmed device time to process and clear its buffers. Flow control helps prevent packet loss and maintains network stability during congestion.
Options A (Speed), C (802.1Q), and D (Duplex) are not typically used to manage or control the flow of traffic in the same way as flow control.
