Answers

Answers
C.

D.

Enable the computer to support jumbo frames.

Answers
D.

Enable the computer to support jumbo frames.

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.
