D.

Enable the computer to support jumbo frames.

Answers
Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

The maximum recommended length for Ethernet cable runs is 100 meters (328 feet). At 150 meters, the Cat 6 cable is too long, causing signal degradation and connectivity issues. Running fiber from the distribution switch to an access switch in the annex will allow for reliable connectivity over longer distances, as fiber can cover greater distances without signal loss.

Port security

D.

Port security

Answers
Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

DHCP snooping is a security feature on network switches that helps to prevent unauthorized (rogue) DHCP servers from assigning IP addresses to clients. By implementing DHCP snooping, the network administrator can restrict DHCP responses to authorized servers only, preventing unauthorized DHCP configurations, such as incorrect DNS IPs, from being assigned to clients. This helps prevent man-in-the-middle attacks where malicious actors misconfigure DNS to redirect users to fraudulent sites. (Reference: CompTIA Network+ Study Guide, Chapter on Network Security)
