Exam 200-301 topic 1 question 1245 discussion

It should be C. A large number of broadcast packets are resulting in a port reset.

If a broadcast storm occurred, it would be strange if 'ignored' 'no buffer' counter did not go up.

another weird one, maybe a red herring, but i wonder... why is the gigether interface operating at 1Mb/s? and why does the output queue only have a max of 1 packet that it can hold?

C is correct

Given these details, the most likely cause of connectivity problems, based on the information provided, is: A. A bad checksum is causing Ethernet frames to drop. CRC and framing errors suggest an issue with the physical layer that could be causing frames to be dropped due to a bad checksum. This would directly impact the reliability of data transmission, including services like printing.

This was the AI answer The interface issue causing the connectivity problems on the switch cat9k-acc-1, which is hindering access to printing services through the network, is most likely option D: "The interface output queue cannot process the Ethernet frames." This conclusion is drawn from the fact that there were 1 underrun, 1 collision, and 1 interface reset observed in the output of the "show interfaces gigabitethernet 1/0/1" command. These indicators suggest that the interface is struggling to handle the volume of Ethernet frames efficiently, leading to dropped frames and potential connectivity issues for services like printing. Additionally, excessive collisions (option B) and a large number of broadcast packets (option C) could also potentially cause connectivity problems but are not directly supported by the provided information. The presence of underruns and interface resets points more towards an issue with the interface's output queue processing capability.
