A network administrator is investigating a network connectivity issue. The administrator runs a command to view the status of the network cards. The administrator receives the following output:
RX packets:45332 errors: 45332 dropped:0 overruns 0 frame:0
Which of the following should the administrator troubleshoot based on the output?
The output shows that the number of received (RX) packets is equal to the number of errors, indicating that every packet received is marked as an error. This strongly suggests an issue at the physical layer, which includes potential problems with cabling, connectors, or the network interface card itself. It is unlikely that issues with VLAN tagging, buffers, or TCP/IP settings would lead to such a pattern of errors.
crc errors --> either caused by data link or physical
Didn't see CRC anywhere in the question. Only came to same conclusion because the other answers would of probably had some packets succeed.
The output shows that the number of received (RX) packets is equal to the number of errors. This indicates that every packet that is being received is also being marked as an error. This could be due to a problem with the physical layer components of the network, such as cabling, connectors, or the network interface card itself.
