The network administrator wishes to transmit data between two end stations. The network interface cards of both devices operates at 100Mbps however one supports half duplex while the other uses full duplex mode.
What will occur as a result?

When one end station operates in half-duplex mode and the other in full-duplex mode, communication is possible but there is a higher likelihood of collisions, especially when transmitting large amounts of data. This mismatch can lead to significant data loss due to retransmissions and errors, as half-duplex mode cannot handle simultaneous send and receive operations efficiently. Therefore, the end stations can communicate, but data may be lost during transmission of large amounts of traffic.
Do you think this question will be in the DATACOM HCIA ? Because HCIA DATA don't talk about duplex mode ?
