CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 377

Greater bandwidth and availability are required between two switches. Each switch has multiple 100Mb Ethernet ports available. Which of the following should a technician implement to help achieve these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Spanning tree
• B. Clustering
• C. Power management
• D. Port aggregation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Port aggregation is the correct choice because it combines multiple network connections to increase bandwidth and provide redundancy. Spanning tree is used for preventing loops in a network, clustering is related to combining resources for performance, and power management does not address the bandwidth or availability needs between the switches.
