A systems administrator is troubleshooting issues with audio lag during phone conferences. When looking at the core switch, the administrator notices its buffers are consistently full, and packets are being dropped due to the large number being sent and received. There is no room in the budget for new hardware, but it is critical that the audio lag be fixed immediately. Which of the following will most likely resolve the issue?
The issue described involves audio lag due to full buffers on the core switch, leading to packet drops. Configuring Quality of Service (QoS) rules for Voice over IP (VoIP) traffic prioritizes and manages the limited bandwidth more effectively, ensuring that audio packets are given higher priority over less critical traffic. This will help to reduce audio lag without the need for new hardware, which makes it the most likely solution to resolve the issue.
B. Configure QoS rules for VoIP traffic.
