CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 44

A technician is troubleshooting a network switch that seems to stop responding to requests intermittently whenever the logging level is set for debugging. Which of the following metrics should the technician check to begin troubleshooting the issue?

Answer options

• A. Audit logs
• B. CPU utilization
• C. CRC errors
• D. Jitter

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Checking CPU utilization is crucial because setting the logging level to debugging can increase the load on the switch's CPU. If the CPU utilization is excessively high, it may lead to the switch not responding. The other options, while important, do not directly relate to the performance impact caused by high logging levels.
