Free CompTIA Network+ N10-008 Practice Question

A network technician uses the command 'show interface' on a switch to troubleshoot an issue reported with interface Gi0/1. The interface status shows 'up' and the protocol status shows 'down'. What is the MOST likely reason for this interface state?

  • A routing protocol configuration issue exists on the interface causing the protocol status to be down.

  • There is a Layer 2 encapsulation type mismatch or a similar protocol-level misconfiguration on the interface.

  • The connected device is powered off or there is a hardware failure on the interface.

  • There is no cable connected to the interface, or the cable is damaged.
