Free CompTIA Network+ N10-009 Practice Question
During a routine check, a network administrator detects irregular packet loss and collisions on a network segment. Further inspection reveals that the switch port connected to an archival storage system is manually set to full duplex. Given that the storage system is an older model, what should the administrator verify next to resolve this issue?
Replace the current switch with a newer model that supports automatic duplex matching.
Install a second Ethernet card in the storage system to handle increased network traffic.
Verify and configure the duplex setting on the archival storage system to align with the switch's setting.
Decrease the operating speed of the Ethernet port on the archival system to reduce packet loss.
