CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 355

An engineer is troubleshooting poor performance on the network that occurs during work hours. Which of the following should the engineer do to improve performance?

Answer options

• A. Replace the patch cables.
• B. Create link aggregation.
• C. Create separation rules on the firewall.
• D. Create subinterfaces on the existing port.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Creating link aggregation allows for increased bandwidth and better load balancing across multiple network connections, which can significantly improve performance. The other options, while potentially beneficial in specific scenarios, do not directly address the capacity and performance issues related to network load during peak hours.
