CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 820

A network engineer needs to reduce the overhead of file transfers. Which of the following configuration changes would accomplish that goal?

Answer options

• A. Link aggregation
• B. Jumbo frames
• C. Port security
• D. Flow control
• E. Lower FTP port

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Choosing Jumbo frames increases the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size, allowing larger packets to be transmitted which reduces the overhead associated with file transfers. Other options like Link aggregation and Flow control do not specifically target overhead reduction for file transfers, while Port security is unrelated to transfer efficiency and Lower FTP port does not address the overhead issue.
