A network technician is connecting two Dell PowerSwitch switches in different wiring closets that are 150 meters apart. The connection must support a minimum of 10 Gbps. Which cabling and transceiver combination is the most appropriate and cost-effective solution for this requirement?
During the initial setup of a new Dell PowerSwitch, a junior administrator configures the management IP address, subnet mask, and hostname. After saving the configuration and connecting the switch to the network, the administrator cannot ping the switch from their workstation on a different subnet. What is the most likely missing configuration step?
A network monitoring tool reports continuous MAC address flapping for a specific MAC address between port ethernet1/1/1 on Switch-A and port ethernet1/1/2 on Switch-B. What is the most probable cause of this issue?
True or False: Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a Cisco-proprietary protocol used for neighbor discovery.
A network administrator needs to configure an uplink port on a Dell PowerSwitch to carry traffic for VLANs 10, 20, and 30 to another switch. VLAN 1 is the default and should not be used for user data. Which port mode is required for the uplink port?
A financial services company is setting up a new branch office. The network design includes two core Dell PowerSwitch switches (Core-1 and Core-2) and two access switches (Access-1 and Access-2). To provide redundancy, each access switch is connected to both core switches, creating a square topology. The primary requirement is to ensure the most efficient and predictable Layer 2 traffic path while preventing loops. The core switches have higher processing power than the access switches. The network architect has decided that Core-1 should be the primary root bridge for the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) domain, and Core-2 should be the secondary root bridge. All traffic from the access layer should ideally flow through Core-1. The default STP priorities are in place on all switches. Which configuration action will most effectively achieve this design goal? ```mermaid graph TD subgraph Core Layer C1(Core-1) C2(Core-2) end subgraph Access Layer A1(Access-1) A2(Access-2) end C1 --- C2 A1 --- C1 A1 --- C2 A2 --- C1 A2 --- C2 ```
A network engineer is configuring a connection between a server with two 10 GbE NICs and a Dell PowerSwitch. What are the primary benefits of configuring a Link Aggregation Group (LAG) using LACP for this connection? (Select TWO)
When optimizing a network segment dedicated to iSCSI storage traffic, an administrator considers enabling jumbo frames. What is the primary benefit of using jumbo frames for this type of traffic?
A user's workstation is connected to a port assigned to VLAN 10. A server is connected to a different port on the same Dell PowerSwitch, and this port is assigned to VLAN 20. Both devices are configured with correct IP addresses in their respective subnets. The user cannot access the server. What is required to enable communication between these two devices?
In Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), what is the port state that combines the STP states of Blocking, Listening, and Disabled into a single state?
