Exam 220-1101 topic 1 question 99 discussion

C is the correct answer.

A,B,C all require sourcing new parts/devices. Changing ports is the quickest

I like D because out there are unmanage switchs with poe ports and regular ports separated

If the switch isn't a PoE switch, it isn't going to magically become one by changing ports. It also is not necessarily a slower solution either assuming you have a PoE injector on hand and do not need to purchase one.

C is the correct answer

The answer is C IP phones typically require Power of Ethernet to function and an unmanaged switch may not support PoE

Based on what everyone else has already said, C makes the most sense as the phone requires PoE.

C is correct

It needs to be powered

The question asks for the QUICKEST way to RESOLVE this issue. It is a unmanaged switch in a SOHO and IP phones need POE to boot. We do not know if the switch has other ports capable of POE, but due to the environment it is in and type of switch, it very well may not. Disregarding that fact, the only answer out of the given choices, that guarantees the QUICKIEST and RESOLUTION (resolves), is a POE injector. Changing ports does not guarantee it will actually RESOLVE the issue, but it does fulfill the QUICKIEST, but thats not what the question asks.

The question asks for the QUICKEST solution. Yes C might be the best quick solution but all A,B,C answers require sourcing parts whereas D is literally moving one wire on a switch. If that doesn't work you can escalate it to get parts. Therefore D is the QUICKEST option there

Assuming that the phone requires power, POE injector answers this. Changing ports allows for another port that is set up for PoE, maybe a different VLAN, I dunno. I have to think that you would hope that the switch and power supply have anough juice to power the phone, sometimes too many phones for the switch to power, so the PoE injector would be the answer, but then again Im drunk so.....

YES the right answer is D.

Unmanaged Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches are basic plug-and-play devices with no remote configuration, management, or monitoring options. Antaira offers a full line of industrial unmanaged PoE switches that boast a variety of port-count, speed (including 10Gigabit), mounting, and fiber.

I say, C because IP phone requires POE and switching ports is very unlikely to fix the issue as they are all likely to be in the same state and we were not told that the Switch had POE capability which an IP phone requires.

Quickest way to resolve this issue** Taking the cable out and putting it into a new port to may be get the phone to boot sounds like a waste of time. Also we know the phone needs *PoE*.. So if we look at the possible answers, only ONE is a guarantee to work immediately and that would be C. (We don't even know if the Unmanaged switch has PoE capabilities)

There are unmanaged switches with both normal ports and PoE ports. Switching ports is the quickest way to resolve the issue.
