Question 350
At the Umberfield regional library system, multiple access closets slow down at midday while switch interface counters show one distribution uplink near line rate. What risk should the team identify as the primary issue?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This identifies the root issue: a congested shared uplink can delay many otherwise healthy endpoint flows. At the Umberfield regional library system, the team should therefore measure busy-hour uplink utilization queue drops and actual oversubscription before resizing the bottleneck.
Incorrect Answers
The option states: Mismatched link parameters can create retransmissions and degraded forwarding even with link up. The source describes its associated mechanism as: mismatched link parameters can create retransmissions and degraded forwarding even with link up, the required evidence must show that the negotiated link passes an error-free throughput validation. By contrast, the current situation is governed by: a congested shared uplink can delay many otherwise healthy endpoint flows. Choosing this alternative would leave the question’s specific root-cause explanation unresolved.
it requires the team to monitor BGP transport and peer state after firewall updates. The offered alternative applies that mechanism: BGP cannot converge if the underlying connection or peer access is blocked. The reported facts point to a different controlling condition: a congested shared uplink can delay many otherwise healthy endpoint flows. The alternative does not directly settle the required root-cause explanation.
Untracked changes make a fleet-wide regression difficult to diagnose and reverse safely. In this question, the decisive issue is: a congested shared uplink can delay many otherwise healthy endpoint flows. That is why the offered option is not the most direct root-cause explanation.
