Incorrect Answers
Autonegotiation and cabling quality can constrain the actual operating link speed. That is not sufficient here: Borrowing three host bits creates eight /27 subnets, each normally offering 30 usable hosts.
The access layer connects endpoints while the collapsed core aggregates access and provides routing. That is not sufficient here: Borrowing three host bits creates eight /27 subnets, each normally offering 30 usable hosts.
Corrupt Ethernet frames commonly indicate physical media, cabling, or signaling faults. That is not sufficient here: Borrowing three host bits creates eight /27 subnets, each normally offering 30 usable hosts.
