Question 640
A network specialist investigates this evidence: A copper uplink runs at expected speed but CRC errors grow rapidly during file copies. Which underlying condition BEST explains the observed failure or requirement?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Physical corruption is occurring on the interface. CRC errors commonly reflect corrupted Ethernet frames.
Incorrect Answers
Optical transceiver compatibility and receive-light measurements diagnose the physical signal path before higher-layer work. That does not establish physical corruption is occurring on the interface.
Collision or faulty hardware can create undersized frames. That does not establish physical corruption is occurring on the interface.
Frame and path MTU limits can drop oversized packets without changing higher-layer routes. The missing change involves physical corruption is occurring on the interface.
