After a network technician has added a new workstation and cabling to the network, users report the network is
very slow. The activity lights on all switches are blinking rapidly, showing large amounts of traffic.Which of the
following is the BEST explanation for the traffic?
A.
The new user is downloading large files.
B.
The router failed, flooding the network with beacons.
C.
The new user’s IP address is a duplicate.
D.
A switching loop was created.
Broadcasts and multicasts cause a lot of traffic on the network which is why the lights are flashing on the switch. switched loop occurs in computer networks when there is more than one Layer 2 path between two endpoints.
Duplicate IP addresses will not be able to route
A user downloading large files usually does not cause all lights an a switch to flash
Failed router does not cause increased traffic on a switch it may actually do the opposite.
