ICND2: Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 2 (legacy) — Question 14

Which statement about slow inter-VLAN forwarding is true?

Answer options

• A. The VLAN is experiencing slowness in the point-to-point collisionless connection.
• B. The VLANs are experiencing slowness because multiple devices are connected to the same hub.
• C. The local VLAN is working normally, but traffic to the alternate VLAN is forwarded slower than expected.
• D. The entire VLAN is experiencing slowness.
• E. The VLANs are experiencing slowness due to a duplex mismatch.

Correct answer: E

Explanation

Option E is correct because a duplex mismatch can cause communication issues, leading to slowness in inter-VLAN traffic. The other options describe scenarios that do not accurately represent the cause of slowness in inter-VLAN forwarding or are too broad or incorrect in their explanations.
